- Decide on domain name for your website (i.e.
www.myweb.co.uk) and confirm availability
- Register the domain name through the internet
- pay online safely and securely
- Select a hosting company to host your website
- pay online safely and securely (OR - combine
these two steps with the one company)
- Register your domain with the hosting company
(it may take a few days for them to organise
their servers to host your domain) - they will
normally send confirmation/registration details
through email that will contain user-id and
password - keep these details safe because we
will need them to publish the web-pages we
create for you.
- Order and install any additional software you
require to enable you to publish directly from
your computer to the host's servers (eg. via
Front Page or Expression Web)
- Design discussions required to agree the
scope and complexity of the website, including
navigation, site map and path through the site
- From preliminary discussions we can estimate
the costs of developing the site given our
understanding of our role and the amount of
input required from you during the development
process
- If in agreement we begin development either
on-site (if the appropriate tools are installed)
or back at our base
- We produce a temporary home page for the
site, stating a new site is under construction -
with your agreement we publish this to the
internet.
- We normally produce some skeleton screens
within the first few days to allow you to
provide feedback on the general style, content &
navigation
- Through discussion with you we refine the
requirement and produce working pages in a test
environment
- We continue to test and refine the
requirement through discussion and involvement
with you until we have sufficient working pages
to publish to the internet and allow access to
the public
- Once the site is completed and published to
the internet we hand over total control to you
and copy the working version of the site onto
your own computers for on-going maintenance and
modifications.
- As a Google-registered Webmaster, we have
the ability to help get your site noticed
through Google searches by following some
guidelines and good practices. This is a service
we offer in addition to the website creation and
publishing.
