We Follow Twenty (20) Web Development Steps!

example graphic We walk you through twenty (20) Web Development techniques that guarantee top-notch quality & service.

 

We offer a variety of Web Design services to suit our customer’s needs.  If budgetary constraints are a concern, we can develop a Web Design solution to best serve your interests.

We follow the following twenty steps to assure a successful Website launch... Guaranteed!

 

1. Find a Web design firm
The first and most important step of the design process is to find a firm that will work with you. DropLine Design is with you through every step of the Design process.
2.

Find an available domain name
We brainstorm with you and see what possible name combinations are out there and available for your project.
3.

Domain Registration
Your domain name (URL) is your company's internet identity. It is vital that your domain is registered in your name only! We guarantee that when we register your domain, you maintain 100% ownership.
4.

Setup Web Hosting
We take care of one of the most confusing parts of the Web development process... the initial setup. We offer scalable Web hosting that fits your Design needs.
5. Modify server name information for the domain name to point to web host
If necessary, we modify the name servers for the domain name and direct them to the appropriate web host.
6.

Setup email accounts
Send us a list of email accounts you need established (e.g... info@yourdomain.com, joeboss@yourdomain.com) and we do the rest.

7. Setup temporary homepage
Use your current logo, or just use text to put a "coming soon" page up with your email address so people can still contact you while your site is being worked on.
8. Design logo
We have helped many companies with creating their brand and identity. Do not ignore the importance of a good logo.
9. Design homepage layout
We get the look and feel you want for your business by evaluating your design objectives. When your initial design is finalized, we start full scale production on your new Website.
10. Design content page layout
This is based on the homepage colors and layout. These pages are used for content throughout the Website.
11. Optimize Web images
This is is a crucial part of the speed that your pages load. Bulky images equal slower page speeds.

 

12.

Develop any back-end database and programming
Any agreed programming is done at this point. This is what turns your site into an interactive dynamic environment.
13.

Write text using keyword phrases and gather images for content pages
Website content constitutes about one quarter of the work of creating a Website. Copywriters or professional writers can dramatically reduce the amount of written work. If you are unable to provide images for your project, we can furnish you with professional stock photography that is available for purchase.

14.

Combine content with programming and templates

This is where your business comes to life. We add the necessary pages until you business model is fully represented.
15. Test test test... cross-browser testing
We can't stress this one enough! All work is tested in every major browser thoroughly before your site goes "live".
16.

Soft launch for friends and family to test
Get your friends and family to start working for you.
17.

Identify keyword phrases for the Website
We use several tools to identify keyword phrases that are relevant to your business and insert them into Web page meta tags. This is the beginning of search engine optimization.
18.

(SEO) Search Engine Optimization Search engine submission and reciprocal link exchanges
We take care of getting your business noticed by search engines by submitting your Website to every major search engine and negotiating reciprocal link exchanges.
19. Hard launch to general public
Congratulations! This is where all the hard work pays off. Your Website is officially live!
20.

Continue to add more content to Website
After your site it launched, content can be added at any time. Changes and upgrades can also be preformed when you need them. For more details about maintaining your Website, see our Webmaster Service page!
