This article is not for you
Far for what you may think... creating a website starts far from a computer or programming software. There are a series of elements you need to define and address before sitting down to program. Here we'll tell you how we create a website at Somos Gente Digital, mentioning the main phases of the process so that you have greater clarity when hiring a web development service (of quality).
1. Understand the business model
Yes, confidential information may arise here, which is why we create the necessary policies to keep this data secure.
Understanding the business model helps us identify the client's needs in depth. This is where the experience of each brand connects with our digital expertise. By understanding the business logic, we can design real solutions that endure.
Otherwise, we would only be following orders from the client who is unaware of the scope of web development.
At this point, we discover:
- Difficulty level of the entire project
- Objective of the website or platform
- Necessary transactions
- Website users (buyer, supplier, employee, etc.)
- Number of products
- Visual design style
2. Route analysis
Here, all the information provided by the client is analyzed. The main objective is to design each aspect while keeping the business logic in mind to strengthen it in the digital world.
At this point, we define:
- Technology to implement
- Additional integrations
- Requirements towards the client
- Estimated official development time
- Professionals involved
- Site map
3. Graphic proposal
We design the initial look of the website to allow the design team's proposals to flow and have a panoramic view of all the user's needs and points of interest. We create a mockup of how each section, text, image, button, and other elements of the website would be distributed.
At this point, we take care of:
- Brand style
- User experience (UX)
- User interface (UI)
- Resources provided by the client (texts, photos, videos, logos, etc.)
- Quality Management System (SGD)
- Client feedback until design approval
4. Dev time
Now, let's get to work. The development team takes all the information defined up to this point to make it a reality and create the website.
At this point, we pay attention to:
- Project budget optimization (avoiding overruns)
- Following internal quality guidelines
- Maintaining open communication with the team
- Ensuring coherence along the project
- Meeting client expectations
- Security of all related information
5. Website On Air
Once the previous points have been approved, it's time to launch the fully designed, developed, adjusted, and approved website.
At this point, we accompany with:
- Hosting and domain purchase
- Delivery of site access
- Necessary training to enjoy your site
This is a brief summary of the phases we go through to create a quality website. To know all the details, it's necessary for you to experience it firsthand, contacting our Gente.
