MEET & GREET
I generally like to start off my professional relationships with a phone call or a face-to-face meeting to help kick things off. This is my way of getting to know you, your likes and your dislikes. We also start to plan the development of your project. This is extremely important and beneficial for the both of us. Do your best to include any and all detailed information about the project, so there is nothing missed in translation from your brain to mine. Strategy is key!
DESIGN
This is more of a step by step process. Here, we take a look at the long list of the functionality needs as well as design concerns that we had discussed in the previous meeting. We then implement them in a series of wireframing so I can show you my vision [No, I'm not psychic, see previous step :)] After we you have approved what I show you in the wireframing, we then go to the fun part [for me] and start the graphics process illustrating the aesthetics of your project.
DEVELOPMENT
Once everything is approved, I then start the production process. This can vary with different projects, so I will break it up for you!WEBSITES
The first page or two will be created and coded. We will then take a look to see how everything looks on-screen. Upon approval, the rest of the site will be produced. Upon completion, the pages can then be directed to your host, and VOILA! Your site is up and running!
I will provide the graphics, and upon approval, we can decide who to print with. This choice is totally up to you. Getting your project printed can be handled a number of ways, but it basically breaks down to this: Either I deal with the printers for you, or you can take the reins and print it yourself. Either way, your project is DONE!
WHAT IS WIREFRAMING?
Wireframing is what I [and most good designers] use to show you what my ideas are. Google defines wireframing as: "A visual model of an electronic representation of a three-dimensional object; A basic visual guide used to suggest the layout of fundamental elements in a web interface."
