Our Web Development Process
A quality web product must be developed with a viable process. At AAI, we have been evolving and adapting our web development strategy for years as we have grown with our clients, incorporating new skill sets, technologies and ideas. The resulting methodologies guide our efforts through the entire web development process and take us successfully from concept to launch.
Strategy
Modern web sites need to have in-depth understandings of the company's corporate, marketing, and product requirements. During this initial phase, we focus on identifying and documenting these requirements. Our goal is to find out not only what you do and how you do it, but why you do what you do. We examine your company's marketing materials, research your current brand, and help you define your online audience. When the research is completed, we deliver a detailed list of project requirements.
Documentation
With your requirements defined, our web deveopment team begins mapping out your project. We lay out a roadmap for the duration of the project, based on the deliverables necessary to meet your objectives. The project plan is created to ensure stability and provide a timeframe for the launch of your new site.
Web Design
A site needs a unique look and feel, and a captivating website design can be the most effective way to communicate with your audience. With your marketing strategy in-hand, we create an eye-catching and professional design concept that highlights your brand and reinforces who you are.
Web Programming
Once your web design concept is approved, your content is added or migrated from your existing site. We then develop your site with all the necessary features (i.e. Flash, e-commerce, database integration ) and program a custom interface to allow for the most effective site navigation. And, of course, all of our sites are designed with web standards for maximum compatibility!
Testing and Launch
After the development phase is finished, your site is rigorously tested for any unforeseen problems. Browser compatibility, image optimization, and site security, and all links within your site are double-checked and thoroughly tested. After your site is launched, we will continue to support the site by adding requested features and answering any questions you have.
