Our Four Phased Approach to Web Development:

  1. Phase 1 – Create a basic website, establish a presence of your business in social media
  2. Phase 2 – Define a content development strategy, create valuable content and start sending newsletters
  3. Phase 3 – Use online and offline advertising and multimedia; improve your search engines visibility

 

PHASE 1: Basic Website

Our first priority is to establish a basic web presence through the creation of a website and social media accounts. The website will consist of all necessary pages to properly represent your company any services. The website template will be flexible for future expansion, and will be the first step in establishing consistent brand styles.

Also included in construction of the website is our favorite Content Management System, WordPress. This will allow the Client to update page content using a simple word processing-style interface, without requiring knowledge of advanced web code.

The website will require setup of a hosting account, which provides the servers where the website will live in addition to email accounts. A domain name may also need to be purchased if that has not been done yet. Setup of the hosting account and installation of the website by the Designer is included in the estimate. However, initial and ongoing subscription fees for hosting services will be billed by the hosting vendor directly to the Client.

 

PHASE 2: Content and Newsletter

Expanded content

After the website is up and running, there is an opportunity to build and engage an audience by expanding website content to include frequently updated editorial content.

Newsletter A template for a regular email newsletter can be set up in a bulk emailing service such as Constant Contact or MailChimp. Past newsletters may be archived on the website.

For the sake of economy and flexibility in posting different types of article, it is recommended a blog system be used for free content.

 

PHASE 3: Multimedia, Advertising and SEOMultimedia content

Content offerings can be expanded with video and audio content. We can assist you with the creation of YouTube Videos, How To or FAQ’s.

Advertising

Options for online and traditional media advertising and marketing will be explored.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Though the website will be built for maximum compatibility with search engines such as Google and Bing, there is an opportunity for advanced Search Engine Optimization to fine-tune content and site structure for better search exposure.
