BIGCOMMERCE DEVELOPMENT

First, we will schedule a meeting with you on your available time and discuss about your business for us to understand about your website goals and objectives. We will let you fill out forms to gather all the information we need for the entire project, and create a proposal to align your expectations, educate each other with different ideas, define the features and scope, timeline, outline cost and duration.

Using the information we gathered from phase one, it is time to put them together to create a plan for your website. This is the point where a sitemap is developed. We will also help you decide what technologies should be implemented. Elements such as what CMS (content management system) such as WordPress to incorporate, will any contact forms be needed, etc. are discussed when planning your website.

Once the blueprint for the site has been defined through the creation of the sitemap and wireframes, the next step is to determine the look and feel of your site. Our creative team will finalize the visual style of your site—including its content, brand, front, colors, hovers, animations and images—making any revisions you request. Once all the elements are in place, we will send the design over to you for your approval.

With designs approved, it’s time to flesh out the design of the pages, develop new content and refine old content, create graphics elements such as images, videos, slideshows and other media that will appear on the site as well as start to build out the HTML and CSS of the site. This entire time, we will continue to make your in-progress website available to you for viewing, so that you can suggest any additional changes.

Before the site is launched, we will attend to the final details and test your website. It will be placed on a production server where only internal audiences and anyone who you share the link with can view it. Site testing includes the complete functionality of forms or other elements and content, as well last testing for last minute compatibility issues (viewing differences between different devices and web browsers).

We’ve tested the site, had it reviewed and approved by you, and we’re ready to launch. But once the site is launched, the project isn’t over — we will ask feedback from you for some immediate changes to the site, such as fixing broken links, editing copy, etc. We also do the SEO to optimize your site with elements such as title, description and keyword tags which help your website achieve higher search engine ranking.

After the website is live, we will maintain a long-term partnership with you by providing support assistance and ongoing maintenance to the hosted environment, the website, and the CMS. We can update content, making changes to the backend and fixing broken links. Whether you are interested in small changes or major enhancements, our team are ready to assist you to make your site more successful.
