Construction Process

Relax, we will help you plan the project every step of the way. We understand that many clients have never been involved in creating a new website. In addition to our creative and development skills, Philsquare provides professional project management services to make sure your website progressive smoothly. Below is an rough outline of our general development process.

1

Let's Meet!

If possible, we like to meet with every client in person. But we can also communicate over the phone, Skype, or email.

  • Initial consultation with client
  • Discuss communication methods
  • General timeline
  • Receive content & media
2

Content Structure

After reviewing the content inventory we will start deciding on how it should be organized.

  • Review content & media
  • Develop navigation
  • Organize content
3

Technical requirements

We need to determine the technical aspects of the project. Then we select the framework.

  • Is a CMS required?
  • Can users create accounts?
  • Review custom development
  • DB structure & complexity
  • Determine appropriate framework
4

Build wireframe version

Before applying any design elements we create a vanilla wireframe.

  • Study prototype
  • Re-evaluate content organization
  • Obtain user/client feedback
  • Does the navigation make sense?
5

It's time for paint

Our design team will work with the prototype structure to create and apply the design.

  • The creative process begins
  • Logo
  • Color & artwork
  • User Interface
  • Galleries, forms, etc
6

Final inspection and reveal

At this point the design, development, and testing is completed. We now prepare the website before sending it to the public server.

  • Evaluate SEO, validation, performance, etc
  • Prepare the world for the new website
  • Launch and maintain close communication with customer/client feedback

What happens now? Don't worry, we will still be here to support your website. You can either set up a maintenance plan or contact us as needed.
