Our 9 Step Plan

9stepsmanWe wanted to make a plan that was simple and easy to understand and to not baffle our clients with pc jargon that just looks good and no one understands:

We have created a 9 step plan.

As a customer we believe you are looking for a company that can give you what you want in layman’s terms, Good Service, Fair price, Quality Support and to be at the end of a phone if you need us, and not pressing 50 buttons before you talk to someone.

Step 1 - needs and requirements
Needs & Requirements
We actively listen to what you are looking for. We will meet and discuss your business and your site visitors' needs to ensure we understand what you are looking for and that we will get the best out of your web site.

Step 2 - quotations
Quotations
With what you have told us we will come up with a project overview and costing for you to take away, discuss with business partners or colleagues. If tweaks are needed the details are reviewed. We then await your approval.

Step 3 - initial designs
Initial Designs
Now we are moving. It's time to show you our design idea. We provide you with your very own test address on our server. This gives you the freedom to sit and review it on your own or with others, in your own time, on your own pc.

Step 4 - review
Review
The next stage is a crucial stage - This is where any amendments that you feel are needed, whether it is to the layout or that the colouring is not quite right, we will redesign or recolour again and again until you feel it's 100% right.

Step 5 - signing off


Signing Off

Once all the changes to the design, layout and colours have been made AND you are 100% happy with your site, you will then and only then be asked to sign off the site design. We are then ready to start building your web site. We will ask for you to supply everything that needs to go in.

Step 6 - under construction
Under Construction
This is where it all comes to life and everything you have supplied is input onto the site, that's pages, text, images, buttons and products if it's a shopping cart. We provide a tester site link which will enable you to check progress every step of the way.

Step 7 - testing 1,2,3
Testing 1,2,3
Once the site input is completed, testing begins. Sitting on the test site you have free access to do as you wish to the site. For CMS sites we will show you the back-end so that you can test that out too. We need to make sure everything works to your satisfaction.

Step 8 - launch date
Launch date
Everything is in. Everything has been tested. Your new website works like a dream. Your site is complete and ready to be launched on the World Wide Web. A date is agreed upon along with purchasing domain name and hosting. Congratulations! You are now ready to celebrate.
