The Web Design process will save you time and help ensure that
you receive maximum use of the talents we have to offer. We will
be happy to assist you with detailed explanations about the various
steps in the web design process.
Key questions to answer in the Web Design process to get started are:
- What is the primary goal of your business, organization or personal web site?
- What are the secondary goals?
- Who is the primary audience or prospective clientele?
- Who are the secondary audiences?
- What are the most effective design elements, messages, writing
styles, technologies and follow-up procedures to achieve your
goals with your audiences?
- What Domain Name will best suit this?
- What are alternate Domain Names, in case someone already has the first one you thought of?
- Does it matter if the name is international, ending in .com
etc.; national, which ends in .ca; or provincial which ends in
.ab.ca? You, of course, have a much better choice of unused names
if the national or provincial ending suits your needs.
- If you have a business, what do you like or dislike about what your competition is doing on the Internet?
- What are the key descriptive words that describe what your web
site has to offer?
Once these questions have been answered the web site creation can begin. Here
you can consider:
- What existing graphics, photographs and messages do you have
that would help achieve your goal?
- Do you have existing business colours that you would like to
predominate in the web site design?
- How can your web site and existing marketing or communication efforts best reinforce and complement each other?
- Do you need interactive feedback forms, or will e-mail suit
your purposes?
- What are the payment and shipping options available if your
web site includes e-commerce?
- Should your web site be designed for frequent product changes?
As the web site building is underway, you can think about:
- What hosting solution best suits your online presence?
- Will it be easier to maintain the web site yourself, or will
it be more effective and efficient to take advantage of the specialization
and expertise of web design professionals?
- What are the options for search engine updating and linking to your web site?
We will be happy to help you with these or any other questions
you might have.
