Steps to your web site

Consultation

During this meeting we discuss your goals for building a web site. This includes a definition of your target audience and their needs so that the finished site is tailored for your customers. We will establish the requirements for your site’s appearance. This is the overall look and feel and includes:

  • Color scheme
  • Navigation design
  • Layout


We will also identify any textual, graphic and photographic material that is to be provided by you and any textual, graphic and photographic source material to be designed and created by CVWebWorks.
We will set up the work schedule and delivery dates and at the conclusion of the meeting we will review the deliverables and sign the contract.

Alpha Phase

The alpha phase is an evaluation of two test design layouts. At this stage we will present you with two versions of a Home page design based on our initial consultation. Sub pages will be roughed in as


Beta Phase

The beta phase is a test of the web site at approximately 90% complete. It will be posted on our test site for your evaluation. All pages will be in place and linked in. This will give you a chance to evaluate your web site online and identify final tweaks and adjustments.

Deployment

Your site is deployed to its final URL. We test it with Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla browsers. You review and approve the deployed site. You are now live on the web.

Maintenance

We provide three months free maintenance. This includes link changes, minor text, graphic and photograph changes. For the long term we recommend a maintenance contract that will keep your site current and up to date. These plans include:

  • Validation of links
  • Submission to new search engines
  • Minor updates to text and graphics

Updating your site can be just as important as having one!

Search Registration and Optimization

As a vehicle for communicating with your customers and promoting your business a web site must be accessible though search engines. This require periodic attention. At deployment, we provide registration with various free search engines. For a fee, we will register your site with the pay search engines and keep them current.
