Our Vancouver Website Design Process

For the last eight years, Digital Diamond Web Media has refined the process of designing and developing websites. Using sound business and web technology principles, our Greater Vancouver clients have more say in their website project than may have initially been expected. The final outcome is a stronger sense of ownership and participation by our clients throughout the website design process and layout of their website.

» Step 1 - Discovery Session

From the onset, it is essential for Digital Diamond Web Media to have a sound understanding of your website project's goals. At this stage, our Vancouver website designers analyze your revenue-generation, branding and marketing objectives, your target market, your competition as well as strategies to generate repeat traffic to your website.

» Step 2 - Initial Project Preparation

Depending on the nature of your website design & web development project's requirements, a reasonably short, yet marketable domain name may be selected and registered. Website structure is mapped out, email communication needs are examined and all graphical and text content to be used is collected.

» Step 3 - Web Page Template Design

This is the point at which our work truly begins and your website's 'look and feel' is created. Imagery, color schemes, page arrangement, menu systems and the like are integrated to meet with your company and/or brand's identity and website configuration requirements. Graphical content is optimized for expedient online delivery to visitor's browsers.

A template page is then uploaded to our test server for the client's review. It is at this stage that requested modifications are brought forth by the client and duly noted and acted upon by our web design team.

» Step 4 - Website Layout & Content Integration

Once the website's template has been approved, we move into the meat of the project. Written content, images and design elements are integrated into the website. Dynamic technologies are incorporated, breathing life into your website. Forms are constructed, allowing your customers to interact with your company via email, place product orders or secure your services directly from the comfort and convenience of their computer.

» Step 5 - Testing & Beta Review

After our design process reaches this stage, we review the website with our client. Any requested changes are then implemented, and the web-site project is thoroughly tested to ensure it's both free of programming errors and compatible with all mainstream web browsers.

» Step 6 - Final Website Evaluation & Official Launch

Once testing is completed, a final review takes place before the website goes live. This gives both our client and us a chance to review the project and make any final changes as necessary. This is integral to the process as it ensures nothing is overlooked, and the web-site is ready to be uploaded for general public access. At this point, any web marketing strategies can begin to be implemented.

Please keep in mind the above outline is exactly that - an outline. There is much more involved in our Vancouver web design process. For more detailed information, please feel free to contact us!
