Our Process for Building Websites
We craft rich, dynamic website and website-related experiences. We specialize in creating websites in which we and our clients can manage their website’s content easily. It’s also about making future updates easier and more economical. We achieve this by building all our clients' websites in our proprietary Content Management System (CMS) solutions.
Additionally, we create custom web applications (extranet solutions) to assist clients with managing specific aspects of their business in an online environment.
Your website is built to ensure website visitors know who you are, what you do and options for interacting with you. It’s about confirming you are a legitimate business as well as bringing you new and repeat business.
01. Discover & Analyze
Discussions regarding the format, direction and processes of development for your project(s) and requested services by you of Zee Designs.
We start by listening. What exactly are you wishing to achieve with your website, its content and functionality? Our focus is you, your business and how we can create website and print media so you can successfully market your business. We use this information and insight to develop a design, development and production plan.
Plan Ahead -The Timing of Your Projects
It’s always a good idea to plan at least 30 days for all projects. This usually gives everyone enough time to be thorough with all processes of most projects.
Websites are a completely different project, as you certainly understand. Small websites will typically take up to 15 days from the receipt of all content. For extremely large or complex sites, it may take as much as 6-8 weeks.
Quick Requests are minor modifications to text or layout. We’ll squeeze this in to our day(s) and turn them around quickly for you without incurring rush fees whenever possible.
Receipt of All Content
Timely receipt of content is an important factor which contributes to project delivery time. Most often than not, the client that delays their own projects. We understand what it takes to run a business and how challenging it can be to focus and follow through on one project at a time. With multi-tasking common place these days, people can forget what it takes to really get something accomplished.
Realizing this, Zee Designs does its best to support our clients with retrieving as much data as we can with as minimal interaction with the client as possible. For instance, “Give us the contact information for your photographer, and we’ll make the request.” “Give us the contact information for your assistant and we’ll ask for copies of this and that.” “If you can provide us with a draft, we can acquire professional writing services.” The faster you respond, the sooner we can have your website up.
When we receive content in “dribs and drabs,” that’s fine by us. We don’t mind reviewing and organizing materials as they come to us. However, I’m sure you will agree it’s easy to see how a delay with receiving ALL content for a project can cause delays and rushes with a project’s final delivery date.
When it comes right down to it though, we rely on the content that is provided by you and your associates as well as the time you make for us during the many project phases as indicated above to get your projects done in a timely manner.
