Creating a successful website that accurately represents your company is central to allow you to sell your products and services online. Successful web design and development needs to consider a number of elements to incorporate into the website to ensure its success.
Web Development Process
To give clients a better understanding of the web development process, we have broken the process down into several stages below . Remember, a close working relationship with your web developer throughout all of these stages is essential in getting your website completed.
Gathering requirements for your website is one of the most important elements in creating a website and is sometimes overlooked. To ensure a good understanding of you, your ideas and your company, requirements for your website will be gathered. The type of information required includes: Based on the information gathering process, an information architecture (sitemap) will be developed and used to create the site navigation structure. As part of the planning stage, any additional elements such as contact forms, e-commerce stores, graphics and images will need to be identified. Now it's time to start the website design and create a wireframe. The design will be based on your ideas for the website whilst incorporating information attained from the above 2 stages. Good communication between the client and RoseGold Consulting is imperative at this stage to ensure the design stays on track. A wireframe for the homepage and a navigation page will be created and delivered to the client. Once approved and signed off by the client and RoseGold Consulting, the next stages will be ready to start. If you have proceeded with a Keyword Research Report, the keywords and phrases will be used to create quality content targeted at your audience. To save on costs, you can write the content yourself and if necessary, it can then be optimised by RoseGold Consulting. Metadata then needs to be created and be incorporated on each page of your website in the development page. Images and graphics need to be sourced, resized and uploaded. After the domain name and website hosting have been finalised, typically the website development will start with the homepage followed by the navigation pages to create a functional website. This is usually one of the most time consuming processes as there is a lot of work that needs to be undertaken in regards to coding. Prior to testing, links to the development site will be able to be accessed by the client. All websites are tested in common platforms as well as through emulation on nominated mobile devices before "go live" or release of your website. To ensure clients are satisfied with the final product, they are involved in the testing process, by thoroughly reviewing each page for: Once the testing stage has been signed off, the website will "go live" at a pre-determined date and time as agreed between the client and RoseGold Consulting. Ensuring your content is optimised and keeping your new website current and up to date is important. Visitors to your site do not want to see outdated content as this reflects on your business.
