Project Kick-off
The project kick-off marks the beginning of our collaborative journey. It is when we finalize the project scope, details, specifications, and timelines to ensure we are on the same page.
Phase 1: Content Collation
After the kick-off meeting, we request you provide all necessary content, such as text and images, within 10 working days. For your convenience, we will provide a link so you can easily upload all files and documents in one centralized location.
Phase 2: Initial Mock-up Design and Selection
For clients availing of our customized website development packages, we’ll present you with two initial mock-up designs. We’ll allow you to choose which design resonates with your vision. Then, once you’ve made your choice, we’ll design two additional inner pages based on your chosen mock-up design. This will serve as the starting point for the website’s overall design.
Phase 3: Full Mock-up Design
In this phase, we’ll create mock-up designs for all the unique pages of your website. The mock-up design will include a layout, color scheme, and overall user experience. This will give you a clear picture of how each page will look and function.
Phase 4: Website Development
Upon approval of the full mock-up design, our developers will initiate the web development process. Consequently, our developers will apply the latest technologies and industry best practices to create a functional and visually appealing website.
Phase 5: Developmental Site Publication
We will launch the live website on our developmental server to give you a sneak peek of your site. This allows you to explore your website’s appearance and functionality firsthand. Additionally, this stage is the perfect opportunity for you to provide valuable feedback and suggestions for further enhancements.
Phase 6: User Acceptance Testing and Content Revision
You will have five working days to explore the website and share your valuable feedback and content revisions. Within the following five working days, we will diligently apply these revisions. Evidently, this collaborative process guarantees that your website will be refined to meet and exceed your expectations.
Phase 7: Website Publication
Once you give us the final approval, we’ll publish the website on your domain. While you have the option to host your website on a third-party provider, any remaining balance must be settled before the publication.
Phase 8: Post-Quality Assurance and Debugging
After the website goes live, we conduct a comprehensive post-quality assurance process to ensure everything functions smoothly. Our team meticulously checks and addresses potential issues promptly to ensure your website delivers a flawless user experience.
Phase 9: Website WordPress Training
To help you manage your newly developed website, we will provide free comprehensive WordPress training for up to four representatives. Based on our agreed schedule, we can conduct the training at our premises or via a convenient online platform like Zoom or MS Teams. Additionally, we will provide you with a Website Mapping Guide as complementary.
Acceptance
Finally, to officially close the project, we’ll provide you with an Acceptance Letter for your signature, which will signify that all deliverables are done.
