We endeavor to create compelling and
effective visual products for all of our clients, big and small.
Each client and project presents us with a unique and interesting
design challenge. Drawing upon an extensive background in creating
a wide range of communication products and strategies, we help our
clients define and develop their own unique visual presence and
strategy. We work with you to define and accomplish your stategy. When you are ready to get started download
our R.F.P. This document helps you
to clarify you desires and it helps us to understand where you have
been and where you want to go with your project. |
|
 |
| |
We review your completed R.F.P. and through series
of conversations we work with you to assess the project needs and
we define what is key about your product or service. Through our
solutions based integral approach, we clarify what sets your brand
apart and articulate the value of the product within the target
market. |
|
 |
| |
Next we interpret our research and create a scalable
action plan. This document outlines the creative possibilities,
their methodologies, and associated costs. It is through this a
la carte menu that we will determine the project scope and develop
an action plan. |
|
 |
| |
The action plan is revised and becomes our estimate
and agreement. We now have a framework within which to design.
Our action plan provides a summary of items discussed in the intial meetings
and outlines of the work be done on the project. This framework is the
most important pre-production item, it insures that the final product will
meet your requirements. |
|
 |
| |
We understand that there may be further conceptual
refinement to the project prior or post of the commencement of production.
In this case a revised and final agreement will be prepared if necessary. |
|
 |
| |
Once we have received a signed contract and an initial
payment, our skilled team of professionals begin work on your project.
Initiation of a production schedule may be contingent upon current
bookings at the time projects are awarded and scheduled. Design
meeting is scheduled. |
|
 |
|
| |
This crucial meeting, addresses all the various issues
of the project look and feel, gives our creative team the opportunity
to further understand what the client is seeking. During this time,
we may also deal with project management issues, such as the establishment
a single point of contact for each team and the creation a project
time-line. Our goal in this meeting is to set the expectation levels
for both your team and ours as well as explain the process by which
we will operate to complete the project. |
|
 |
|
| |
Once we have an approved scope document and
information architecture, we can move forward with the actual
design of the project. At this point any pertinent information
must be delivered to to us and agreed upon by you.
For example, the initial comps for web design will require the following
elements to get underway:
 
|
logo in .eps
or similar format |
|
graphic standards (if applicable) |
|
home page content |
|
signed scope document |
|
|
 |
|
| |
Once we have all your requirements and a solid idea
of the direction(s) to persue we create 2 or more design alternatives
for your review and selection. Modification completed if needed. |
|
 |
|
| |
After the graphical layout of the site has been
completed, it's time to flow the content. This point in the process
is crucial because you are part of the process.
This is perhaps the client's most difficult deliverable, content may
need to be created from scratch or pulled together from a number of existing
resources. Generally it must be reviewed by several people before it
is approved.
It is crucial that clients focus on content creation while
we are creating the UI and design. Unfortunatley, when clients
do not provide content on time project schedules get pushed
back.
Once content is flowed, there will be a review to make minor revisions
and edits. |
|
 |
|
| |
We ask you for your feed back we revise if nessesary.
You approve. We build. |
|
 |
|
| |
We crank the crank. Then, when we are finished you
submit any final content edits. |
|
 |
|
| |
Once we have completed any content edits, it is time
to quality test the final site. This stage gives us a final opportunity
to double check functionality and find any unnoticed errors. Tests
are conducted on a PC running IE 5.0 unless your project specifies
otherwise. |
|
 |
|
| |
Upon completion of the testing phase, we will ask
for your final approval of the site. Once it is given, all applicable
files will be turned over to you in the manner requested (transfer
to your web server, sent via email, cd, dvd, etc.). |
|
 |
|
| |
Successful project! We look forward to working
with you in the future and appreciate you recommending us
to your colleagues
Cheers! |
