Throughout the web design process, we will be communicating with you in order to help us make sure that everything turns out as best as it possibly can. After we gather the information and compile our research, we’ll develop a strategic plan, ensuring that all the goals and objectives for the website are addressed in a dynamic, creative way. Then we’ll turn that in to a design and send you a mockup for your approval. After that, we’ll flesh out the website and create a private beta site that only you can access. We’ll encourage you to “try to break the site” and invite you and your colleagues to provide feedback. After the beta testing phase, we’ll make any necessary revisions then proceed to launch your new website!
