Production
The
first step is to determine your site's needs, present and future.
We identify the principal areas, determine the overall size of the
site, and discuss any features that could enhance its usability
such as feedback forms, file upload areas, site search, PayPal™ or
other online purchasing capability. ClickTo Web Solutions submits
a proposal based upon a determination of the amount of time
required to create your site, and we agree on a project timetable.
During the pre-production phase of the site's development, we
collect any text and/or graphic content needed, sometimes referred
to as the website's assets. Existing brochures, flyers or other
promotional material can provide a useful starting point. What's
often helpful is to take an evaluative look at web sites of any
peers or competitors in your field, or sites with features
comparable to what you have in mind. This provides us one way to
determine what you like and don't like in the sites examined.
In
the production phase, we create an online prototype version of
your site in a beta staging area and gives you an opportunity for
design and layout review. Upon approval, and after any final
revisions and tweaks, your site opens to the public. At this time,
we submit your website to the Open Directory Project, the key
database used by the most popular search engine on the Web, Google.
ClickTo Web Solutions offers optional site hosting and will be
there for you for any updates to your site down the line, on an
hourly, as-needed basis.
