Website development is not a simple task, especially if the website owner intends to use the website for business purposes. Every element of website development has to support the client’s business goals, and all final elements need to work together synergistically toward this common goal.

Always geared toward the needs of its clients, Web Dot Com has engineered an efficient and fully interactive seven-step website development process highlighting teamwork and cooperation. It will be noted that client feedback is the backbone of the entire process, ensuring full compliance with the client’s requirements.

1. Assessment

It is essential that the client knows exactly what is required of the website, and that the website development team understands these requirements completely. There are times when the client needs assistance in clearly and precisely describing the website’s objectives vis-à-vis the company’s business goals. The Web Dot Com team can provide assistance during preliminary assessment discussions. The client’s business goals are identified and the website’s complementary goals are defined.

This step puts the website development project in direct alignment with the client’s needs, maximizing its value. This is where all the possible uses for the website are explored, including, for example, e-commerce solutions such as online store applications with online shopping and online payment.

2. Proposal

Once the client’s assessed needs have been documented in detail, this is presented to the client to seek mutual concurrence. Terms and conditions of the project are then defined, after which a written agreement is prepared.

3. Detailing

Once the contract has been signed, all the content requirements for the website are solicited from the client. The website development team transforms this material into the most effective copy for the web and uses it as basis for creating the website structure and its details, always making sure that all agreed-upon specifications and parameters are met. Documentation of the full site map, including contents and functionalities, is provided to the client for approval. Alterations are made upon request.

4. Creative Design

Once the contents and functionalities have been approved by the client, creative web design is begun. Client preference is sought on the look of the website, including motif, color schemes and layout. The design rationale is always reflective of the client’s business objectives. Multimedia audio-visual enhancements may be put in. The website development team has expertise in the use of Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator and other graphics design tools. Several mock ups are provided online for the client to approve, with alterations made when necessary.

5. Development

Once the creative web design has been approved by the client, the website development team’s programming and technical skills are put to work to make the website a reality. Search engine optimization by Web Dot Com SEO experts is already begun and built into the process even at this stage.

6. Quality Assurance

The fully functional website is checked and double-checked through strict quality control procedures, including, of course, client review.

7. Launch

Once the client has approved the final product, the website is finally launched to the public on the worldwide web. This is when the use of search engine marketing and social media marketing can be maximized. Web Dot Com can provide these support services, as well.

Through this seven-step website development process, Web Dot Com ensures the best and most comprehensive website development service for its clients. Website maintenance and support can also be provided, either for the life of the website or on a monthly or quarterly basis. It could also be done on individual requests.

Aside from website development, Web Dot Com also provides business process outsourcing, and is, in fact, an excellent model of outsourcing in the Philippines.
