Listed below are the phases
NetGain uses in designing and developing
distinctive business Web Sites.
-
Phase
1:
Project
Scope - The first step of
Web Site development is
to determine the goals and scope of the project, the client's target audience and any
specific characteristics the client may want to include into the site. Setting the
project scope will lay the groundwork from which a successful web site can be designed.
Upon completion, NetGain submits a detailed proposal based on the client's needs and
requests. Upon acceptance of the proposal, a project timeline is then developed.

Phase
2:
Site
Content - The second step is to work with the client
and collect all of the information and content to be included on the actual web site. This
includes, but is not limited to, the text portion of the site. The information must
be clear, informative and current.
The digital graphic design, image editing and animation interface
is the tone and feel of the site. NetGain creates customized navigational graphics and
overall site appearance to augment each client's business identity. We bring each client's
personality to life on the Internet.

Phase
3:
Site Layout
- The third step is to design the actual
layout of the Web Site. The layout and design is equally as important as the content and
graphics of the site. NetGain determines the best way to present the material,
link sections together and create a site flow that provides easy navigation. The World
Wide Web is a visual, interactive medium; poor layout and design can hinder success.
NetGain provides expertise on what makes a successful design and layout function, as well
as appropriate "netiquette".

Phase
4:
Programming HTML
- The fourth step consists of the actual HTML ( HyperText Markup
Language ) programming of the site. It is during this stage that the content,
design and layout are pulled together to create a compelling multimedia web site. At
the same time, we are mindful of elements unique to each browser, such as the differences
in HTML interpretation. NetGain will work to provide the best possible presentation for
all site visitors.
These visitors want to see dynamic, interactive and up-to-date
content and information. We believe the greatest advantage of the World Wide Web is
its ability to convey new and updated content instantaneously. If a Web Site is not
updated on a regular basis, the site will become stale. Consequently, visitors are not
likely to return.

Phase
5:
Project
Completion - The fifth step consists of reviewing the site to
determine if all aspects of the contract have been met. The project is then
submitted for the client's approval. At this point, if there are no changes required, the
web site is considered complete and is ready to "go live" on the Internet.
NetGain will provide advice on the
best way to use these search engines to your advantage. Traditional media, such as
brochures, direct mail, TV, etc., should also be used to announce the launch of your web
site. Your Universal Resource Locator (URL) is the Internet address which directs
people to your site. The URL should be included on all items such as business cards
and letterhead. At this point, you have become a participant in the most exciting
communications medium in history.
The possibilities are unlimited.
