Web Design

Web Dementia has determined through recent studies that there are six essential stages in putting your presence on the web. Take a moment and review this helpful information. Should you have any questions please contact us at 336.486.7826

Needs Assesment

Web Dementia will meet with you to sketch out exactly what your goals are for your website. You may be interested in using your website simply as an online brochure, or you may want to do transactions over the Internet in order to sell your products or services. This first step will define the effort required for the rest of the site.

If you don’t have a website, then we will guide you through the process of securing a domain, or web address (e.g. www.yourcompany.com), and securing a hosting package from our hosting services page . We will handle every step of this sometimes tedious and confusing setup.

Site Definition

In this step, we will define the structure of your website. Some people refer to this as a ‘Map’. If you have an existing website, we can use this as a starting point. This step involves an understanding of the idea of being user friendly. The physical architecture of your website must be well thought out and must be thought out with a user-centric approach in mind. What this means is that the flow of your website must follow the way a user will navigate. What you believe to be the logical flow of your site might make become confusing to your customers. We will outline some of the tasks that we believe users might undertake, and then design a flow chart of your website. This is a user friendly design.

Layout & Design

During this phase, one of the most time-consuming, a design and layout concept will be developed by Web Dementia. Based on your feedback, the design will be cretiqued, and a final concept will be agreed upon. This design will be developed with the user in mind. Your preferences are, of course, the final word on the design decisions, however.

Some often overlooked design elements will also be established during this step. Appropriate fonts and colors need to be established to ensure consistency throughout your website.

Development

We now begin to create all the individual pages in your website. From your Home Page to your Contact Us page, right down to your individual product pages, every item identified in the "Map" is brought to life.

Whether we are writing your content for you, helping you write it, or simply posting what you give us, the pages within your site will now be functional, and you will be able to view your website in reality for the first time.

Posting & Completion

This is essentially the final development step. Your website is thoroughly tested to ensure it is error-free, and any changes and fixes are made before posting. When the site is launched we make a copy of your site and put it onto a CD for you for backup storage purposes.
