Our Process - From Start to Website
Whether you’re having a website built from scratch or redesigning your current website, you can be rest assured that we have a clear process to maintain focus on the core objective. Here is the process of how the Clifton Creative Web design process works.
Step 1: Complete the Website Project Form
Step 2: Website Proposal & Agreement
Once we determine that we are a good fit and we are in agreement with your timeframe, viability of your project and required investment, we will send you a proposal detailing the particulars of the project. The proposal will contain the investment required for your project, project milestones, features and benefits for the site. The proposal will also include a website agreement for you to sign and an initial invoice for deposit towards development
Step 3: Website Project Kick-Off Meeting
Congratulations! We are getting started on your website project. We start with a website kick-off meeting where we talk about design and layout, specific functionality of the website, determine your website sitemap, pages and provision of content. We'll nail down update schedules, milestone and payment timelines and clarify your vision for your website. Kick-off meetings are conducted via phone or Skype or in-person.
Step 4: Website Design & Development Period
In this stage we will be busy developing your website and providing you with updates as to where we are in the process. We'll get your sign-off on layout and design which you will be able to preview in the browser. We will also be gathering your content, pictures and other media from you for the various pages of your website.
Step 5: Website Review, Testing & Launch
Once we have completed the website, we will test all functionality and verify that it works in all modern and up-to-date browsers. We will send you a private preview link for you to view the website and its functionality. We will then set up a pre-launch meeting via skype, phone or in-person and go over the delivery points of the website, it's functionality and also address any areas that need tweaks or edits. We will then deliver the website and launch it on your live domain.
Step 6: Website Care, Management & Strategy
You didn't think we were done did you? Launching your website is only the beginning and we never abandon our clients. You'll still need to implement your strategy, have a content management plan and have protocols in place to protect your web investment. This is where our website care and management services come in. If you'll have us, we want to build a long term professional relationship with you and assist you in reaching your goals. We'll help you maintain your website's core codes, perform content management tasks, keep your website updated and help you implement the strategy to achieve your goals.
