The Consultation
The first step in developing a web site is a meeting between LogicSolv and the client in which key elements of the project are discussed.
During this meeting the client has an opportunity to describe their business and web site objectives. This is the perfect time to learn
and ask questions about various types of web sites and the production process. LogicSolv will also give the client background information about the costs associated with
different types of sites, general pricing and terms. Site concepts can be dicussed, formulated, and agreed upon at this time.
The Draft
After the site concept has been discussed and agreed upon, a draft of the site will be presented. This draft may include a mock up of the
homepage, key subpages, and a site map. Estimates and a tentative production schedule will also be furnished at this time.
This material should be reviewed carefully, as this is the best time to make alterations to the project
The Production Process
When the draft has been approved and alterations have been specified, production on the
web site can begin. Generally the client will supply the copy and photos for the project. Proofing of this material should be done before submitting it to LogicSolv.
The Site Presentation
After the site is completed but before publishing, the client is given an opportunity to review the site, make revisions, and approve the
completed alterations.
Publishing the Site
Publishing the site involves moving the site data to the clients domain (yourcompany.com),
submitting the site to the popular search engines, and site marketing. The site will be available for viewing immediately after the data
is moved to the clients domain and will appear in search engine listings one to four weeks after submission.
Site Maintenance
Unlike a brochure or printed ad, a web site is not a stagent piece of copy; it can be updated and expanded
at will. How a site is updated, and who will perform the updates, should be discussed with LogicSolv, during the original planning stage.
Site maintenace can include a scheduled program of checking that the web site is still listed in the popular search engines and if not a
resubmission to any search engine/s that has dropped a site from its index. Higher levels of maintenance can include traffic analysis and the recoding of pages to maximize traffic
Failing to properly monitor and maintain a site will cause traffic to steadily decrease.
