How We Work With You
After years of developing web sites and web-based applications, our developers
and project managers have honed the process for determining your needs,
scoping your project, and developing to your standards.
Step 1 - Needs assessment: This is the most crucial component of
the development process. Whereas other development organizations will
use standard techniques like asking you what you want on your site to
begin building your project. we take a different approach. Our experience
has shown that often what a client thinks they can do is far less than
what is actually possible. Odds are, that we have direct experience with
your industry, goals, and problems and we will suggest ways to make your
web site and your business run more smoothly. We take the time to understand
how your business operates, to whom you sell your services and products,
how you process orders, communicate with clients, and interact with employees.
We review your current marketing efforts and see how we can match the
web site to your message and we suggest new and better ways to reach your
market. Our clients are often surprised at how much the process reveals
about their true needs and that our review helps them not only develop
a powerful web site, but also helps them streamline their operations.
Step 2 - Project proposal: After we understand your needs and goals,
we get to work creating a comprehensive proposal. The proposal will specify
what we have learned and exactly what we will create for you. It outlines
the milestones and deadlines our development team will meet and what we
will need from you in terms of information, graphics, site copy, and much
more.
Step 3 - Development and Design: Now our expert developers and
designers get into the details of the development of your site. Often
other development teams will go to work and create your site and then
ask you to review it. MediaVue operates much differently... We show you
what we are doing as we are doing it. We get your approval on site layouts,
user interaction, graphics created, etc. During the process you are a
part of the development team, so that when completed, your site is everything
you expected and more.
Step 4 - Testing: Our development team then places the code and
designs they have created on our staging server. Here is where we test
and make sure that what we created works as promised. We test the interaction,
the design, the interface and more to be sure that we deliver on your
goals. Until the site is approved and running the way it should be, we
do not launch. We ask for you to review the site and make sure that what
we proposed in step 2 meets what we created.
Step 5 - Launch: After testing, it is time to launch your site.
Whether you use our web hosting service or that of another provider, we
handle deploying your site to you domain and then running another series
of tests to be sure that all is functioning properly.
