Communicate / Define
This stage involves the Q&A and FAQs of the project. In this stage, the total cost is determined for the final project, as well as the deadline for completion.
The Design and Prototype (mock ups)
After the deposit is received the design process will begin. During this phase of development the Client will provide the Developer with any photos and/or content which is to be placed on the website. Content = text, listings, etc.
The actual graphical design of the site will take anywhere from 7-14 days (pending holidays). The Developer will present 3 mock up designs (samples) for the Client to view. At this time the Client should take note of any aspects that are appealing as well as non-appealing, changes to be made, new colors, photo alignment, etc. If any of the three mock ups are not to the Client's liking - the Developer will offer 2 additional mock ups at no additional charge.
Once the design is approved by the Client, the Developer will then convert the graphical version of the website mock up to an actual web site / web page. It is at this time that the website begins to take shape and content and navigation are inserted.
Final Website Design
At this time a list of additions, changes, etc. will need to be submitted to the Developer in order to keep within the initial projected deadline. This is where the "little changes" are important to catch before completion and launch of the site to the public.
The site will require one more approval of completion at this point in time. Once it has been officially "signed off" as complete - the Developer will upload the website to it's permanent domain name address (www.your-site-address.org)
At this time....
Final payment is due.
