Web Design Overview

From initial meeting through updates and upgrades, I will work with you to build your site exactly the way you want it.

Each web site is built by me. From the design, to graphics and programming I do it all to make sure that your site is completely unique.

As a graphic designer, you can be sure to know that I will incorporate your branding elements so that your online identity will be unique.

Here are some web sites I built recently:

ActiveFitnessWV.com

CanCovey.com

OrbTheGorge.com

Chad-Foreman.com


Information Architecture

The information is the most important part of your web site. That is why your visitors are at your site. They want to know what you have to offer.

In these meetings we will determine the way this information will be presented. From categorical organization patterns to the methods and rates you choose to publish your content, all avenues and possibilities will be discussed in this phase.

How are we going to display your content? Where will it be displayed? What strategy will we use to guide your visitors through your site?

Site Design

This is kind of like creating a blueprint for a house. Instead of a blueprint though, we are creating a wireframe. Paper, pencil, flow charts, diagrams and boxes with squiggly lines around them are the tools for this phase.

Site Mockup. Time to bust out the crayons. It's art club time! This is where I will create a static image of what your web site will look like. This would be kind of like creating an architectural rendering (to stick with the architecture theme.) We are going to use some software made by our friends at Adobe: Illustrator and Photoshop.


Site Publishing and Marketing

So now we have everything laid out and ready to go. Except you may not know how to operate your brand new customized content management system. I will train you and your content authors to use the administrative section of your web site. There are many tools to aid in this process.

Publishing. OK, time to share that content with the world. All of our planning pays dividends in this phase. You are all trained up and ready to start blogging and sharing your ideas with the world. Everything is formatted and ready to go. All of your inbound links are fired up and ready to go. Go ahead and do it! Start writing. Your fans are waiting.
