Most of our clients do not know where to begin when they first inquire about hiring us to design and build a website for their business. Every website and Client is different, and therefore the process will depend upon the budget, timeline, and goals for each project. Below are the phases that we go through when working on a website, as well as the some of the steps that are necessary for the Client and designer to consider throught the process. The process may seem overwhelming, but we'll walk you through it so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Please email us information regarding your website design project and we will get back with you with a quote. You may also contact us at (512) 670-1367.
We will make sure we know your target market, website goals, business, color and design preferences, etc., before beginning the design phase. We will also work with you to finalize a simple site map. A site map is is a representation of the architecture of a web site. The structure of a website's content is highly considered during the design phase.
If you do not have a web host or domain name purchased, we will set these up for you with affordable and reliable companies that we recommend.
We first present Clients a homepage design. Once the homepage is approved, we mock up a subpage design and revise until final approval.
This is where the magic happens. You get to sit back and relax while we code the approved website design. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the website.
We consider search engine optimization according to your business and industry, and code the site according to leading website design and coding industry standards.

At this point, you will need to be finishing up the content for your site, if you haven't already. When the site is complete, we will fill in the content that you provide to us. You have the option of utilizing our copyeditor to look over your content and check for grammatical and spelling errors.

We build your site on a test server before publishing your site to your domain. This allows you to review and make final edits to your site before it reaches the public. Once approved, it is published to your domain on the web.
Updating content on your website can be done 2 ways. You can email us changes, or you can have a Content Management System built into your site during the coding phase. This is always decided during the estimate phase, and pros and cons of each are discussed.
