Step 1 - What Are Your Goals?

Before we begin developing your site, we listen. We work with you to understand your company or organization and its purpose in having a web site.  We also research your industry and competitors. This phase is important for us in designing a site that will achieve your goals.


Step 2 - Determine the structure of your site

Next, we construct the navigation of the site.  The relationships between the components are determined and the layout begins to take form.


Step 3 - Interactive Design

This phase begins to examine the relationship between your end-users and what they see on the screen.  As we develop the interface(the actual screen you see), we reflect and promote your unique business or organization's character, engage the user,  and clearly communicate the content of the site.


Step 4 - Graphic Design

During this design phase, the project takes on a definite visual form, color and texture.  Now the  Web site acquires a look and feel, a definitive identity and personality.


Step 5 - Feedback

Work will be displayed for you as Web pages at a private, unpublished Web address on the Internet, in order for you to see a working prototype.  This is the best process for Web design and production, allowing you to evaluate your site and provide feedback to us for any revisions.  Revisions can be easily and quickly displayed back via the Web for you to view at your convenience. This provides maximum efficiency for the design process.  Communications are easily handled with e-mail, fax and telephone.


Step 6 - Hosting, Maintenance, & Marketing

Once the site design is finalized and approved, your site is ready to upload to the Internet. DataTech Designs will identify and recommend options for your site's hosting and site maintenance and marketing.   There are many variables to be considered for each of these key areas, and we will help you understand the options so that you can make informed decisions.
