Phase 1 - Objectives & Planning

During this crucial first phase we work in close partnership with you to outline the objectives of your project and to fully understand your business and your target audience. Gaining a clear understanding of what you want to achieve from the very beginning results in delivery of a successful website, on time and within budget.

Phase 2 - Design

Time to expand on the information gathered in Phase 1 and begin the visual communication. Our design team will work with you to determine the right look and feel of your website and put this into practice to produce a series of detailed visuals for key pages and features. Every element and interaction are carefully designed with usability in mind and signed off only when you are completely happy.

Phase 3 - Development & Implementation

In this phase, the creative visuals are passed onto to our development team and developed into the interactive, functional pages of your website. If desired, you can access the testing website to see how things are shaping up, and are given access to our project management system so that you can keep track of progress and make suggestion and comments. Your designated Project Manager is on hand throughout this phase to ensure contant contact and provide you with updates along the way. The design team is on hand to oversee the development phase to ensure the functionality and interactions work as intended.

This phase also incorporates the first stages of Search Engine Optimisation to make sure that the website is ready for search engine exposure as soon as it launches.

Phase 4 - Testing & Quality Assurance

During this phase, we work with you to ensure the finished website functions and displays correctly. Our in-house quality assurance procedure covers cross-browser, cross-platform testing, code validation and script testing as well as the proccessing of test orders.

From the outset, our project procedures and quality assurance processes allows us to specify every step and role involved in the development of a project. We use these procedures to plan all of our projects, ensuring the appropriate timescales and resources have been allocated in order to meet expectations and deadlines.

Phase 5 - Training

When the website is tested and fully functional, we provide training on your new admin system to allow you to create and edit the content on your website, whether it's a content management system, e-commerce shop or fully bespoke system.

Phase 6 - Launch & Ongoing Support

During this final phase all hosting, domain names, redirects (where applicable) and final checks are put in place and the website is launched.

Ongoing support includes Search Engine Marketing in it's various formats and technical support when you need it.
