Once you have decided
to choose us to take on the project of constructing
your website, below is a rough guideline on what is
required from both parties.
1. ANALYZE WHAT'S NEEDED FOR YOUR WEBSITE:
Will there be any special features needed,
i.e. flash animation, emailer etc.? How
many pages are necessary and how will it be categorized?
What type of "feel" would
you like the webpage to emit? Who are your target
audience?
Which elements would you like to be
similar or different from you competition's?
At this time, it would also be in
your benefit to send us images and text files of what
you would like included in your website.
It would also be to your advantage
at this point to think about other website issues
such as domain name purchasing and webhosting service
subscription. Atomic Media offers these services which
are not automatically included unless you are subscribing
from one of our packages.
2. FIRST MOCKUP AND APPROVAL:
Atomic Media will send one or two (two if a package
is ordered) image or webpage drafts to illustrate
what our designers have envisioned for your website
regarding the "feel" and organization. The
designer will carry on with the project using the
chosen mockup when approved, otherwise revisions will
be made according to the client's wishes.
3. CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR SITE:
Our designer will then be in constant communication
with you regarding the progress of your website. We
will provide you with a login information so you may
view the progress history of your website, you may
also request an URL in which you can view the latest
changes made to your website. Communication, especially
through email is critical at this point; your designer
will keep all emails exchanged and comments submitted
through the control panel to keep track of all the
revisions you request.
4. IMPLEMENTATION OF YOUR WEBSITE:
Medium sized websites (5-10 pages) typically take
4-6 weeks to construct. However, completion is determined
when both the designer and the client are satisfied
with the website. Your website will then be submitted
to several major search engines.
5. UPDATES AND REVAMP
Your website is your informational and marketing tool
online, hence, it should change as often as the signs
in your window display; keep your online customers
up to date with your new products, offers, promotions,
and services. Included in some of our packages are
monetary credits for an update per month for several
months. However, although your update credit has expired
content updates are only $40CDN per hour.
