PROCESS


Web Design

Step 1 - Planning
  • Initial meeting to determine general content and organization of site, discuss your design style, and find examples of existing sites you like.
  • Some questions for us consider together:
    • Who is your intended audience? What impression do you want to create?
    • Would you like to frame the design of your site around a particular concept or theme?
    • Are there any existing websites you particularly like or dislike? What do you like or dislike about them?
Step 2 - Graphic design
  • Cogwheel will make mockups (graphical blueprints) of your homepage and a few second-level pages.
  • Client can request up to 3 rounds of edits to the graphical layout.
  • At this point, the exact, final content of the site must be determined. Please provide Word files with text for each page and all images, links, PDFs, etc. to be included in the site.
Step 3 - Programming
  • Cogwheel will write the code for your site and perform a browswer compatibility check to make sure your site displays properly to everyone.
