Preparation of a detailed proposal
Cognition Creative will spend more time gathering information by email, phone, or in face-to-face meetings. We will then write a detailed written set of specifications for your Web site with scope of services, an estimated total cost and a time line to complete your project.
Signing of Agreement
Cognition Creative will email or fax you an Agreement, written without legalese for you to sign and send back to us.
information gathering
Text content must be gathered before most work can begin on the site. Iit's important to be aware that a Web site project does require work on your part.
Material gathering
While you are gathering the content, Cognition Creative gather all available data content from you, such as product descriptions, or in-house publications, brochures & logos. Thereafter, we research the Internet and all other relevant information sources to familiarize ourself with your industry and your competition. We will assist you in pulling together the logo, graphics, and photographs needed for the site.
Design concept
We begin working on a site mock-up consisting of the Main Page (Home) and 2-3 inside pages. The mock-up is based on the needs and preferences you have provided us via our online Web design worksheet. It is then uploaded to a private location on our server where you can view it “live”. You will be able to test and review the navigation scheme, layout and the overall look of your site. Your feedback is solicited and encouraged, and is used to revise and produce a second draft. Once more, your feedback is used to make another round of changes and so on and so forth until you are 100% satisfied with the design. [ feedback ]
Development and coding of actual pages
With your approval of the Design Concept, we develop the site in full using approved graphics, flash animations, navigation, database design, etc. Text content “plugged in” and adjusted for a perfect layout. Dynamic page code is added to page templates.
Final site testing
Test, test and then test some more. This is done to ensure your site will be seen as it was designed to be seen on the most popular browsers the internet population is using.
Launch site
The site is then uploaded to our server and is considered "live".
Promoting site
Now is the time to actively promote your site and submit it to search engines.
