This document explains the process followed by
NetSecrets in producing your website. Although
all sites are unique each project undertaken by
NetSecrets goes through the following stages.
1. The Specification
At the start of the project we collect all the
information we need to begin the design and development
process. This is achieved with a series of questionnaires,
1 to 1 meetings and client specific research.
The information required includes company information,
site objectives, existing in-house styles, web
design style, structure and features.
2. Design Draft
This is the first stage of the website development.
Firstly we produce a static layout for you to
review in the form of a graphical image. This
is similar to a screen shot and is the stage where
we can easily change elements of the design layout.
3. Live Page Design
Once we have agreed a design draft we produce
the design as a single live web page for you to
approve. This allows you to see such elements
as live navigation buttons and animations. At
this stage we ask you for any final design changes
and then your approval of the design.
4. Site Build
The site build is where we take the approved
page design and build the entire site. At this
stage we require the final copy for each page
so we can build it into site. Once complete we
will publish the site on the internet in a test
area for you to look over.
5. Feature Development
This stage is when we will complete any feature
development on the site. This includes search
facilities, member areas, content management,
etc the details of which will have been supplied
in the specification process.
6. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
This is the final stage of the project where
the completed and approved site is optimised for
the major search engines and submitted in accordance
with the agreed strategy.
7. Support and Promotion
Once the site is live, page optimisation is
complete and the initial submissions to search
engines and directories complete the site passes
into Support and Promotion phase. This normally
lasts 6 months and during this period we refine
both the content and the promotion strategy to
meet the agreed performance objectives for the
site.
Towards the end of this period we agree new,
more ambitious targets, and set in place a further
support and promotion contract, normally for a
further 12 month period.
