BoomerLang Web Design

Successful Web Sites
It takes insight, experience, dedication and discipline to build successful web sites. BoomerLang Web Design is committed to each of these qualities, and each new project is handled with the individual needs of each client.

The first step to any project I take on is a discovery meeting where I identify measurable goals, ask specific questions about what the site does in terms of functionality and how the company wishes to be perceived on the Web. From there, I proceed to a proposal that details timetable, web flow, process and project cost. Below are the steps that outline the BoomerLang Web Design process.

Stage 1- Introduction:
By working closely with you, I define the primary project goals, identify the target audience, and tailor the design solution to your industry.

Stage 2 - Research:
I gather all available data content from you, such as company profiles, product descriptions, or in-house publications, brochures & logos. Thereafter, I research the Internet and all other relevant information sources to familiarize myself with your industry and your competition. I also spend time researching the competition, both online and offline.

Stage 3 - Design Concept:
During this stage, I begin the process of developing the site's "metaphor," its aesthetics, the flow of content throughout the site, the logical organization of the site's information, and its functionality. These concepts are presented to you for your evaluation and approval.

Stage 4 - Development:
With your approval of the Design Concept, I develop the site in full using approved graphics, content, flash animations, navigation, database design, etc. Of course, one of the questions asked by new clients is "how long will it take to create my site?" The answer is, "it depends." Specifically, each client’s needs are different, and many needs present unique challenges that may require more time than anticipated. Regardless of the project's scope, I promise to use my best efforts to create your site in a reasonable amount of time.

During the development process, Images and ideas are converted to html and site structure and diagrams become code. Any additional features such as database development, Flash animation and other functionality will be integrated at this stage. In cases where a site may require frequent updating, content management systems are implemented that allow administrators to input fresh content without prior knowledge of HTML.

Stage 5 - Testing/Launch:
I test your web site to ensure it is cross-browser compatible and to evaluate its performance. This is the time when I may "tweak" the site for performance gains. In simple terms, I make sure your web site works on both Mac’s and PC’s as well as all of the prevalent versions of AOL, Internet Explorer and Netscape. Once testing is complete, I submit the final site to you, (the client) for one last look over and approval. If there are no other changes needed, then I launch the web site and submit it to all the major search engines. At this time your web site will be "Live" and ready for the world to see.
