Process

Step 1 - Discovery

At Webline, we see web site design and development as a collaboration. While we bring a thorough understanding of the web, technical skills, and creativity, you bring an essential understanding of your business, brand and industry. In this step of the process we review your goals and develop a custom plan based on our expertise and your knowledge.

Step 2 - Information Architecture

In this step we develop an outline of the project. This outline includes a table of contents which will be the foundation of the site from both a content development perspective and eventually from a navigational and usability perspective. In addition we note advanced features and display mechanics to be implemented in the next step.

Step 3 - Design/Development

This step takes the project from initial design stages (where 3 unique interfaces are developed), through revisions, to a final finished custom look. It also includes content layout and implementation of advanced features such as Content Management or E-commerce solutions. While previous steps are essential, this is the point where the site is actually designed and coded.

Step 4 - Publication

At this point we run through our standard Publication checklist which includes cross-platform testing, W3C compatibility testing, and thorough beta testing. If required, we register domain names and configure a hosting environment. Finally, we create a Google Site Map and submit it to jump start indexing.

Step 5 - Management

Management is both the final step and an ongoing process. It includes site maintenance such as content updates as well as optional online marketing services. In addition, we are happy to offer periodic reviews to make sure your site continues to meet your online goals.
