Phase I > Research & Consultation
Competitive screen review, design research, consultation of
business needs – needed to bring the correct information forward,
make the hierarchy user friendly, and to enhance visitor experience upon coming to the site. Pulling together all solutions to
reach the goals of the website – a successful ROI.
Phase II > Conceptual Development Needs/solutions arising from Phase I – the conceptual development
starts with a presentation of design ideas to the client. Informal
meetings with the client representative are used to pare down and
revise options for formal review and selection.
Phase III > Design Development
Build out the site of the approved final design, and then refine the
general format, other site elements, and the assignment of illustration
and/or photography and content where needed. A presentation is
made to the client explaining all applications for final sign off.
Once the client has approved, the remainder of the site is built out.
The site build is uploaded to a proxy site for review and testing by
client as it progresses.
Phase IV > Production
Decisions on all related art direction, including commissioned
illustrations and photography, typography, copywriting, mechanicals,
and all other elements are made final at this point. All content
and art is implemented. Upon final review the site is uploaded
to the client’s destination server and domain name.
