This is the tree trunk of all the steps. During the Planning & Analysis phase, we talk to you. Face to face. We're curious and want to know more about your business than just your products. How are you perceived among your competitors, within the community, online? What does your brand say about you? These are just a few of the questions we ask. We make sure that all the groundwork is laid out before we start getting into the creative stuff. After all, if you don't know what you want to accomplish with a web site, why have one?

Conceptual design is an exciting process. This is where our team gathers well formed concepts from the Site Mapping exercise and pulls together a layout to match your needs. Our first designs are basic, black and white wire frames developed to identify placement of site elements. Upon your approval, our graphic design tools come into play. We'll design a layout for your homepage, inside pages and other creative as necessary based on your needs. Once our team is confident that we have a concept that fits your stated goals from the planning steps, we will give you a preview of what it looks like online.

Put away the paintbrush and the paper - once you approve the storyboard design, site construction begins! Converting the conceptual design into an interactive web site is truly an exciting time. Once the structure of the site is intact and copy is in place, we allow you to preview your site as it comes to life. Once the web site becomes interactive, it's time to test and proof. We ensure the site behaves appropriately, on the various web browsers your customers use.
