Website Design and Development
Whether you need to develop a new site from scratch, or refresh your current website, Leaf Design can help you develop a customized design that appeals to your target market and meets your business needs. Our years of experience have taught us what works, and what doesn't.While the design of your website can range from simple to spectacular, our solutions are created with your budget as our main priority. We have spent considerable time refining our website design process to provide you with the best value for your money.
1. Planning
Requirements GatheringInitial discussions with our clients allow us to highlight your specific needs, discover your design preferences, and understand your existing corporate branding.
Structuring the Website
From our findings, we take your vision and combine it with our web knowledge to begin laying the ground work for the website’s design and architecture. This up-front preparation minimizes wasted effort, ultimately lowering both the cost, and the turnaround time of your project.
2. Design & Layout
Initial Design ConceptOften the most engaging part, the initial design concept creates the “look and feel” of the website. The layout is based upon our findings from the planning phase.
Revisioning Process
Although we’d love to say that our first drafts are perfection, we realize that several rounds of revisions are the norm. Your feedback is an important part of this process, and we will help guide you in making design decisions that matter to the most important people: your customers.
3. HTML Coding
Template and Page CreationUpon approval of the design concepts, it is our responsibility to turn them into an actual website. To ensure maximum compatibility with all major web browsers, we follow XHTML and CSS standards, as defined by the W3C.
Staging Website
During this phase, you will be able to visually monitor the progress of your website taking shape. You can login to our staging server so you can experience the website before it “goes live”.
4. Testing & Launch
Website TestingPrior to launching your website, we spend considerable time testing it’s functionality in all the major web browsers. This step is crucial for a successful launch.
Website Launch
This is what you have been waiting for! We upload your new website to your domain.
Post-Launch Services
After the launch, we continue to service you with website maintenance, SEO management, and webhosting support.
Database Applications
Many of today's websites require the collection, storage, and display of dynamic data. To accomplish this, a database-driven website is the best approach.Examples of such implementations include a product database, a customer feedback survey, or an online portfolio. The possibilities are only limited to your imagination.
Flash Development
Add some "wow-factor' to your website by adding animated Macromedia Flash content. With animated content, you can engage your customers by offering them interesting product demos, photo galleries, and other interactive content.
