Web Design Strategy . . .
A comprehensive strategic plan is necessary to ensure you, your business and website remain at the forefront, and most importantly, give you that competitive edge. NixDesign can guarantee your website won't become obsolete. I do this by working with you through a strategic plan. There are several stages to a website strategic plan, and they are:
Concept Stage
Prior to any web development project commencing, it is always important to discuss several key points with NixDesign.
- What are the primary goals for this website?
- Who is your target audience?
- What will the visitor be able to learn or do there?
- Do your competitors have a website and if so, how can we help ensure that you retain or improve on your competitive advantage?
Once these questions have been addressed we can move to the design stage.
Design Stage
With our website concept in mind, we can now focus on the design stage and the many elements which make up the actual design and layout of the website. While many of the design elements can be left in the hands of NixDesign, it is very important for the client to have a great deal of input here. Design elements may include:
- What image are you wishing to portray through your website?
- What content do you intend including?
- Are there any existing websites which are similar in design, layout or content to the website you envisage?
- Do you have a logo, stationary or other company colours you'd like to include?
Development Stage
With the concept and basic design in order, you can sit back and relax. NixDesign will now put your ideas into practice, designing your website in accordance with the content and design preferences you've provided. NixDesign will also test your website thoroughly, using different browsers, browser versions and screen resolutions, testing accessibility functions and making sure your website is standards compliant to establish that all end-users (people viewing your website) will be able to take full advantage of all in-built features. Once this stage has been completed, you'll be asked to view your website and suggest any minor amendments, after which your site will be ready to publish on the world wide web.
Post-Development & Maintenance Stage
Website updates and maintenance are essential in order to keep your website and your business or organisation ahead of your competitors. NixDesign provides ongoing the customer service and regular communication with our clients in this regard as it is important that end-users understand that they are viewing a recently updated website. Regular updates and maintenance may include replacing outdated information and repairing broken links among many other minor alterations.
