Your website is the first impression a potential customer
receives concerning your company, its products and services.
You need this first impression to portray your company's
identity at its best. The Internet has become your main
communication tool for what you offer to the entire world
and we know that a poorly designed website is worse than not
having a website at all. Our web design capabilities will
give you the keys to optimize your company's image and adapt
it seamlessly to the Internet. SMC can provide the following web design services: |

Information
– SMC will meet with the customer to gather the
necessary information to build the website. This
will include the purpose of the site, the goal of
creating the web site, who the target audience is
and the type of content that will be on the site.
Relevant materials, such as photographs and
brochures, will be gathered for inclusion on the website.
Planning
– SMC will develop a sitemap with logical
divisions of information and relevant sub
categories. Technologies such as multimedia, interactive
forms and ecommerce will be reviewed for inclusion
in the website.
Design
– SMC will provide design examples of the proposed
website’s pages, such as home, content, legal, contact,
etc. for the customers review. We work with design
tools such as Adobe Creative Suit, Dreamweaver,
Microsoft Expression and Autodesk Product Design
Suite to create the artwork and layout of the
website.
Development
– SMC will take the concept examples and implement
them in the actual code used by webservers
and browsers. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) will be
developed to insure uniformity and allow for quick
changes to the look and feel of the website. Interactive
elements, such as contact forms, animations or
ecommerce shopping carts, will be implemented as
needed.
Testing
– SMC will test the website with different browsers
to insure that the website looks and operates the
same in each. SMC will host the customer’s
development web site on its own servers. This will
allow the customer access to their website during
the development phase so they can review the content
and follow the site’s progress.
Maintenance
– Once published, a website must be maintained.
Content on a web site must be changed on a regular
basis if visitors are to return to your site. Also,
a steady stream of updates to a web site insures
that it will have the highest possible ranking in
web search engines. SMC will work with the customer
to develop the appropriate maintenance program.
Hosting
– During the design phase, SMC will host the
customer’s development website on its own servers.
This development site will also be available for
maintenance update reviews on an ongoing basis. SMC
will work with the customer's existing web hosting
service or help them find a suitable hosting company
if this is their first wesite. |
