PHASE II: Solution


Once we’ve established our strategic approach, we move to the fun part—the production phase of the project. Here’s a snapshot of how we do it:
The goal of this phase is to help you define your ideas and ensure we accurately understand your needs. We believe this is an absolutely critical step in establishing your objectives before we begin to develop a solution. Having no strategy is like flying a plane without instruments.

Design

Step 1: Content Collection We begin by gathering your draft content and combine the concepts from the Strategy Phase to create design mock-ups that serve as the face of the solution.

Step 2: Content Implementation Based on the content you provide and the information we create, we design the site to best present that information.

Step 3: Mock-Ups Using our strategic approach as our guide, our professional design team will then graphically depict your concept.

Develop

Following the client's approval of the Design phase, we'll create the initial prototype of your site for testing. We'll develop and debug any necessary functionality issues and fill in any design gaps.

Step 4: Front End Development Develop interface from mock-up.

Step 5: Prototyping Create advanced mock-ups for testing.

Step 6: Back End Development Database/content management design.

Step 7: Content Touch-Up Polish up and optimize content.

Deploy

Prior to taking the new solution live, we work with you and your team to get the most out of your new tool. We’ll do training, tutorials, and provide direction on future maintenance and development. As with any new business process, there will be a dig in productivity prior to a spike in efficiency. We set clear expectations and work with you to ensure a smooth transition.

That’s what we call getting after it, cascade style.
