At AirTight Design, we take a thorough, logical approach to the web design process. We'll work with you every step of the way, carefully explaining technical issues in everyday English. Here's a run-down of the phases involved in building your company's site:
Call us at 404-524-2621 or use this form to contact us. After a brief phone consultation, we will visit your place of business to develop an online strategy for your company.
AirTight Design will submit a formal proposal that thoroughly describes the site we will build, and provides an exact cost, outline and schedule. We'll outline each section of the site and most important -- describe the interactivity and functionality of the site in exacting detail. This is a time-consuming, but valuable exercise because it provides a roadmap for our developers and it should make you more confident that we understand your business needs. Once we're both happy with the terms of the project, we'll begin.
After we have agreed on a plan for the web site, we will custom build several mock-ups for the site based on your input. The mock-ups are non-functioning graphical representations of what your site would look like. From the beginning we consider search engine optimization, browser compatibility, download times, usability and other technical issues. You will choose your favorite mock-up and provide feedback. Usually we perform two rounds of revisions with mock-ups.
Concurrent with the graphic design process, our project manager and database developers will be planning the architecture of your site and building the database schema. You're welcome to be a part of this process, but you might find it agonizingly boring. Lucky for you, we love this stuff.
When we have your materials, we will build the site using HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Flash and various other web development tools and languages. Count on us to choose the right technology to get the job done.
When the site is designed and you are satisfied with the finished product, we test it thoroughly, make revisions and then launch the site. We will work with you to promote the site among major search engines and sites related to your industry. We can also teach someone at your company how to maintain some or all of the site or we can maintain it for you and bill you on an hourly basis for maintenance services.
