Approach
The Latin saying "Quot capita tot sensus" is without a doubt very applicable as it comes to websites. No site is equal, and each website deserves it's own approach. However, there is of course, no need to re-invent the wheel for every vehicle that leaves the factory. Building a website can more or less be broken down to the following topics:
Introduction
During the introduction phase, it is important to focus on the target audience of the website and on the demands on design, content, size and functionality of the website. Based on these items, further agreements will be made. Changes on these subjects afterwards may have serious consequences on elements like pricing,and delivery dates and more.
(re)Design
After agreements hae been made on pricing and delivery, one or more designs will be made. All designs are custom made and of course it is possible to adapt to your personal or corporate styling that may already be present.
During the designphase, contact between client and designer can be very intense. This is the phase where the look and feel of the website will mature, leading to the final design of the site.
Perhaps you are already running an existing website, and you're only looking for a redesign, for some extra functionality, or perhaps you've laid hands on new visual material to (re)decorate your site with. In that case, WideAwake Webdesign can also be of service as sometimes, small adjustments can already make a great difference.
Build
After agreements have been made on the final design, a start is made on actually building the website and demands on functionality will be processed along the way. As from an early stage, you will be able to follow the development of your site closely. This will all be done in a secured area where only you - as the customer - has access, prohibiting premature exposure of your site.
Live
After agreement on the finalized product, billing will be done. It is only after payment that your site will be published, through the agreed domain name. The site will then also be announced to important search engines like Google.
