1. Comprehensive Needs Analysis
When planning a web site there is a lot more than just the look of it to consider. We will complete a thorough and no obligation needs assessment. This planning process includes identifying your goals and objectives, your target audience, hosting and domain name requirements, and the technologies needed to meet your needs. The assessment will also help you determine how you will maintain your site. Once the needs analysis is completed, we will present you with a comprehensive needs assessment report and cost estimate.
2. Guidance in Content Development
Once we have completed a thorough needs analysis, we can guide you in developing content for your site. This is what you want to say to your audience and it forms the most crucial part of the development process. Your website exists for a purpose: to offer a service, product or provide information.
3. Quality Graphical Design
Graphic design will depend on your needs, your content, the nature of your business, your intended audience, your personal preferences, existing corporate branding and your budget. We will develop prototypes for your consideration and approval.
4. Site Development
Once the needs assessment is complete, a cost estimate agreed upon, all content has been developed, the site structure agreed upon and a design and branding has been approved, we will begin building your site using the technologies identified in the comprehensive needs analysis and the content you developed. Our site development includes:
- Domain name registration
- Set up of hosting services
- Main page design
- CSS Style Sheet
- Required additional linked pages
- Navigation system
- Internal links
- Inclusion of your logo (logo design service extra)

5. Site Launch
CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a wonderful new web site. Once your site is completed, tested and approved by you, it is time to launch. The web site forms only one part of your marketing strategy. You should align all of your other marketing strategies, such as business cards, brochures, newspaper ads etc with your new website. Make sure your web address is placed on all of your communication strategies and marketing tools. You may want to consider a formal announcement of the official launch of your new site.
6. Site Maintenance
Part of the development of your site will include discussions about how you will maintain your site. Keeping your site current and fresh is important to your clients and your success. Keeping your site secure and backed-up is essential for you! Code can become dated over time leaving your site open to crashing or being hacked. It is essential that security updates, code updates and regular backups are completed to keep your site up and running. Site maintenance includes the following important details:
- Hosting
- Domain Name
- Regular Site Maintenance
- Browser Compatibility
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Website Content Updates
- Regular Backups
- Statistics
Of course you can choose to sit back and relax by letting BH Web Services look after all these details for you! [Read More]
