1. Initial Website Consultation & Project Estimate:
This is a key factor in our website development process. We meet with you to discuss your website needs and desires. We ask you questions about your business including your website goals and expectations.
The more information you provide, the better! Once we have this discussion we are able to provide you with an estimate of your website cost.
2. Website Outline:
Based on the information you provide us in the initial website consultation we break down your new website into an outline.
This outline includes artwork preferences, colors, navigation structure, how many pages, page content, any eCommerce, third party applications or special requests to be included in your new website.
3. Official Website Project Quote:
This is included with your Website Outline. We also include a projected project completion date. Pending your approval of the outline and quote, and delivery of all project content we move on to the next step!
4. Website Design Layouts:
We will design custom artwork and layouts for you to choose from. These layouts can include your existing logo or one we create for you. We also include any other artwork and any color preferences you provided in the consultation process.
5. New Website Template Created & Programming Begins:
Once you approve a design layout we create a master website template. We begin populating your website with content you provide.
During this phase of the project you will have access to the work in progress to offer input and suggestions. We will also build your administrative section(s) including CMS, Newsletter Modules, and other custom applications, if applicable.
6. Finalization of Website Edits:
This is the point we take any requested changes from you and give the website a final edit, page by page until your full approval is given!
7. Client Final Approval & Sign off:
At this point your new website is completely live and functional on our work server. Any and all final edits are implemented. This is where we get your official approval and sign off on the project.
8. Official Launch of the New Website:
Upon Final Approval & Sign off, we officially launch your brand new website!
9. Search Engine Submission:
Mertrans will submit your website to the top
