Process

How to build a web site
that works for you

It begins with Personal Service

Personal service starts with our commitment to help you transition into a profitable use of Internet space. No two companies have the same needs or goals; your solution must be uniquely tailored to succeed.

The complexity of the process varies according to the scope of the project, but in general, it follows these steps:

Exploration

Initial meeting to answer your questions and determine with you whether or not a new web site or web system is worthwhile for you.
If the decision is to proceed, we then prepare a detailed proposal outlining the development process for your specific situation, what work will be done to ensure that your site is designed to best meet your needs, and provide you with a written estimate of the costs involved.

Advanced Web Site Plan

Working with decision makers in your company such as senior management, marketing, sales, production, and customer service, we refine the initial goals and objectives into an action plan that includes detailed design and production specifications.
This plan, developed in consultation with your staff, is presented for final approval to ensure it meets your objectives. Options are included, which often lead into a phased development program of modules being added over time. Any questions you may have about database-driven components, such as those giving your team control over key content, product databases, or collaboration areas, can usually be demonstrated online to ensure that everyone shares the same vision of the final product.
You'll now know exactly what you're going to get for your investment, and hold the yardstick that holds us accountable throughout production.

Design, Programming, Content Creation

Now, with a well thought-out and detailed blueprint of your next generation website in hand, the actual design, programming and content creation begins in earnest. Payments are issued as milestones are achieved by us and approved by you. You stay in control.
Snap Design knows and understands Internet communications. We know how to make this complex, global neural network deliver outstanding results. You and your team know your business better than anyone else. Working together, we keep production on schedule and leverage the Internet in a way that delivers the results you expect and deserve.

Watch it coming alive from your own office

Log on to your private zone anytime, day or night, to watch your new web site take shape and come alive. Changes, if desired, can almost always be accommodated and estimated in advance.
At last the site is ready. By now, all the programming has been checked and double-checked; the written copy proof-read and spell-checked, the links tested. You have your staff review the site one last time before its unveiling to the public. A flurry of press releases are issued to the media. Invitations are sent to your customers, prospects, and strategic partners.
Your online place of business is open. Let your competitors eat their hearts out! Your customers love it—because it speaks to their needs, addresses their concerns and helps them make their buying decisions, just as you'd planned.

Measuring Results. Gaining Business
Intelligence. Maximizing R.O.I.

All traffic to your site is logged, analyzed, and presented in easy-to-read, colourful charts and tables, available to you 24/7 in your online VIP area.

How many user sessions are you getting daily? Which pages are most popular? How are people finding your web site? Which search phrases most often lead to your web presence? Where are visitors coming from?

The answers to these questions and many more are available to you when your web system is hosted on our reliable, high-speed servers. Answers that can help you not only fine-tune your web site and marketing material, but refine your production and sales processes in order to best sync up with market demand.

Smaller or Larger Projects

On a smaller project, the development process can be somewhat compressed.

On a larger project, the pre-production phase is often expanded to include, for example, a feasibility study, the input of multiple stakeholders, prototyping, and focus group feedback. Production management grows in importance and monthly or weekly progress reports become the norm. The objective is to minimize risk and maximize success.
