Our Methodology

Strategy and Planning

Every client's requirements are different. That's why we work in tandem with our customers to build an excellent rapport. Strong business partnerships with our clients give us a greater insight into the way in which their project should progress from the very outset.

The single most important phase of the design process is the planning phase. Without thorough planning and the implementation of a tested strategy plan, it is unlikely that a web site will succeed. Every project that we undertake is developed around our five-stage strategy process:

Stage 1: Discussion and Initiation.

• Establishing contact
• Initial meeting (by telephone, e-conference or in person)
• Defining client's requirements
• Generation of comprehensive site, systems or network proposal
• Generation of quote
• Approval of quote and proposal

Stage 2: Research and Planning.

• Market Research and Competitor Analysis
• Defining technical requirements
• Defining time-frame requirements
• Organisation of project team members
• Documentation of above data delivered to client
• Generation of contract
• Approval and signing of contract

Stage 3: Building the Prototype.

• Generation of initial site, systems or network architecture
• Initial implementation of colours and navigation systems
• Initial development of required scripting and coding
• Initial creation of primary graphics
• Refining of functionality and aesthetics

• Client approval

Stage 4: Full Development, Testing and Launch.

• Content integration
• Development of backend technologies (databases etc)
• Completion of graphic design
• Revisions and approval of final draft
