Project Process or Custom Website Plan
Creating a Custom Web Site - The YouGottaWeb process
YouGottaWeb provides our customers a process to develop a professional website and content management system for a fraction of the cost of other web design companies. By refining the process into four systematic phases, we have reduced the production time-frame and minimized the development costs involved in creating advanced websites.
1. Define > Requirements Gathering & Feasibility Study
The process begins when you’re assigned an account manager who remains your single point of contact for the duration of the project. Your account manager will organize an initial consultation to discuss your requirements and identify your goals. After that, we can determine the most suitable package that best accommodates your requirements. Your account manager will provide you with a Website Planner (a questionnaire document) to collect the important material that should be on your website.
2. Design > Web Page Design & Logo Design
The design phase translates your company's image into a quality website that promotes your business in the most professional manner. The Website Planner document provides our designers with a detailed understanding of the technical and creative requirements for your new website. Our designers prepare a mockup concept that illustrates the appearance and structure of your website for your feedback. We strongly believe that keeping the customer closely involved in the creative process ensures that the proposed concept reflects every requirements identified in the definition phase.
3. Develop > Build the Web Site
The development phase converts the approved layouts into an operational website. Our developers work in close partnership with the designers to ensure that the actual website is a reflection of the final screen designs. Once the basic website framework has been established, our developers begin integrating the Site Content Management System, along with the other components you have selected (e.g e-commerce, product catalogue, photo gallery, etc.) During the development phase our technicians register your company's domain name and configure your email accounts.
4. Deploy > Quality Assurance, Training & Online Marketing
Before the approved website is deployed through the live server, our developers conduct rigorous usability and quality assurance testing. After testing, our development team places the website on our local staging server for your final review. Once you have approved the final website, you will have the opportunity to populate your system through the site content management system (Our designers can perform the content population for you for a fee). With custom sites, content population is done for the customer and adds all of the required content and related media files to your new website. Your account manager will issue you with a basic starter kit that includes a quick video guide to familiarize you with the site content management system and all of the available functionality. We also provide you with free phone and email support to assist with any initial technical or operational problems. Once you are completely satisfied, your new website will be launched on our live server.
