Website Design Services
iaps offers a full set of web design services that allows us to build a complete web site from start to finish. We can create a brand new web site for you, or redesign your existing web site.
Web Design
We begin by talking to you about your business, competitors, and your overall objectives for the web site. Then, we work closely with you to develop the site architecture of the web site. Our goal is to develop a site architecture that is well organized, intuitive, and flexible enough to handle your future growth.
Next, we develop the graphic design of the new web site. We interview you to determine your graphic preferences, and ask you to show us examples of designs that you like. We then create graphic design concepts for you to review. Revisions are made until you are completely satisfied.
Web Site Development
Now that the site architecture and graphic design have been established, it is time to build the actual web pages. We convert the graphic design to actual web pages and link together all the pages of the site. Placeholder text is used in place of the real text. At this stage, we post the site online for you to review and try out. This allows you to see how the web pages look, and to navigate from page to page. Any revisions that you request are made - until everything is just right.
We then ask that you start collecting or writing the text for each page of the web site. As you send us the text, we post it to the web site for you to see. Images or photographs are also added on a page-by-page basis.
At the same time, we continue to work on other components of the new web site. We create any Flash animations that are needed. We add online forms, and the associated programming to handle the form submissions. We work on technical features such as search capabilities, programming, or e-commerce features. As things get completed, they are posted online for you to review.
Web Hosting
Once all the content is finalized, the site is ready to go online. We help you choose a web hosting provider, and do all the technical tasks for you to get your new web site live and online. After your site is online, we submit your site to the major search engines.
Web Maintenance
Once your site is up and running, you can update your web site on your own using our Content Management System (CMS), which has no ongoing costs. If you need us for more complex tasks, then we are here to help. We are here whenever you need us, on a moment's notice, now and into the future.
