Digital Lagoon specializes in client-centered, user-friendly Web site design. The process starts by learning about your business and goals. Needs are identified, timelines are set, and our goal becomes delivering an effective result on time.
Our Process
Web site design requires an understanding of the client, organization, creativity, skill and testing. Digital Lagoon follows a thorough design strategy in six phases. This ensures delivery of a fully functioning site that meets and exceeds the needs of our client.
- Discovery: Using a collaborative approach with the client, Digital Lagoon facilitates a series of strategic work sessions designed to gather pertinent data about the company's marketing strategies, user provisions, and business requirements. This information is then used to develop a complete interactive design strategy that addresses the needs of the target audience.
- Pre-Production: During pre-production, graphic mock-ups are developed to determine content placement and basic navigation. The purpose of these mock-ups is to finalize all layouts, content and design decisions before programming begins.
- Production: All production design and programming work takes place during the production phase. Working from mock-ups that have been correctly defined and approved allows for an efficient, focused period under which the main application can be assembled.
- Content Testing: Content testing allows for any final issues to be determined before completion of the project. A period of time will be defined for client approvals and final changes to be submitted for the site.
- Beta (Bug) Testing: Potentially the most important part of the process, Beta Testing assures the application runs properly according to the project's original specifications, including operation within a variety of Internet browsers and platforms. Digital Lagoon will test the application on multiple machines and operating systems.
- Implementation/Deployment/User Training: Upon completion, Digital Lagoon will deploy the Web site in the appropriate specified format and ensure the site is operating correctly.
From start to finish, we believe our Web site development process is the key to our clients' success.
