METHODOLOGY
How it Works
- Discovery – through a process of surveys and meetings we’ll gather all the information we need to have the best understanding of your business and goals.
- Architecture – just like a building, a website needs a solid blueprint. Together we’ll determine the best way to organize your website and sketch out a rough outline.
- Content – with a solid blueprint in place it will be your job to collect, organize, edit, and deliver to us content for each page of the website.
- Design – at the same time you are working on
content our team will be creating non-functioning comprehensive layouts showing possible design directions. - Development – with all the necessary architecture, content, and design elements in hand we’ll create the first working version of your website.
- Launch – getting your website “go live” ready will inevitably require several rounds of revisions and polish. Once the website is ready, we’ll go through the final launch checklist.
- Warranty – your site is now live! Over the next several weeks our team will be training you on how to manage the website and helping you solve any issues.
Communicating Effectively
During your project communication will be non-stop with emails, phone calls, and online meetings. Here is how we make it happen.
- Email – support@flawlesswebsitedesign.com is the only email you need to remember. Everyone here regularly checks this account and the person best suited to reply will always do so quickly.
- Phone – Call (303) 558-6592 and select option 1 is the direct line of your project manager, Mario. Your calls are always welcome between
8am and5pm MST, Monday through Friday. - Meetings – we use UberConference for online meetings to review milestones and deliverables. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or a computer with microphone.
