For many businesses the idea of designing a new website is fairly daunting. We put our clients at ease through clearly defining the process or the road to your new website.

Step 1:
Gathering of data

We would like some insight into your business so that we can better understand your needs. With this in mind we have prepared a set of questions which can normally be answered in a short meeting or can be downloaded so that the answers can be e-mailed to us. We will use these answers to create an accurate quotation for you.

    1. What line of business are you in?
    2. What is the primary purpose of your website?
         * Very obvious for some sites, but not others.
    3. Who is your target market?
    4. Who are your main competitors?
    5. How many products/services do you offer?
    6. How many website pages do you think you will need?
        Typically these could include the homepage, About Us, Services or Products pages & a Contact Us page.
         * This can be a broad indication of the pages you require and we can assist you with defining these.
    7. Roughly how many photos do you require?
    8. Must your photos be scanned or are they available in electronic format?
    9. Do you require any special functionality?
        *  (For example: booking/contact forms, newsletter signup, logins etc).
    10. Please list some websites or elements of sites that you particularly like or even dislike?
    11. How often do you think you will need to update your website?
    12. Do you have an existing website and if so, what is the address?
    13. Do you have any promotional brochures, magazines or advertisements?

Step 2:
Quotation and Acceptance Contract:

Once we have had a full briefing you will normally receive a quote within two working days.
If you are happy with the details specified in the contract, please accept and return.
We require a 50% deposit prior to commencement of all projects.

Step 3:
The Look & Feel:

Once we have all your information, we will design a “look and feel” within 7 working days from date of acceptance. This is a screenshot of how your homepage will look.

Step 4:
Changes to the Look & Feel:

Any changes will be made within 3 working days from presentation of the look and feel and we will present you with a final look and feel for your review.

Step 5:
Signing the Design Off:

If you are happy with the look and feel, we will send you a sign-off form. Once signed off, any changes will incur an additional fee.

Step 6:
Content and Images:

We require all your content (Pictures & Text) within 3 working days of signing off the look and feel so that we can start to program your site. Any delays here usually have a direct impact on the completion date of the project.

Step 7:
Live Testing:

Once the website is complete, we will upload it to our online test environment for you to view. Typically clients require no more than a few days to test their website.

Step 8:
Final Payment & The Launch:

If you are satisfied with the entire website, the remaining 50% is to be paid. We will launch your website within 24 hours.
