Development process
Overview
Data Net Way addresses web projects through a process which allows our team to rapidly develop and implement solutions based upon what the client needs. This process ensures that our efforts produce the best possible results in a timely, efficient and clear manner.
Phase 1
Definition and strategy
In this phase, our team works with the client to understand what the client is looking for. We closely examine the target audience, what their needs and issues are, and the tasks they want to accomplish. We analyze the competition, confirm your competitive advantage, and define our objectives. Once the focus is set, strategic goals are developed, along with a project plan and timelines.
Phase 2
Information and Architecture
During the architecture phase we develop the information design and the technological architecture for the project. From our collaboration, we create a flowchart of the site structure. It’s a living document that we continue to refine and reach for again and again as the work progresses. With the site architecture set, the navigation scheme established, and your approval, we go on to Phase 3.
Phase 3
Visual design
We’ve defined the business rules, content, architecture, and the functionality to be integrated. Now our developers begin to imbue your project with personality and our creative flavor. By using the detailed information that we gather in Phase 1, we unleash our creative talents upon the project. Our team will provide you with concepts, technical prototypes, and updated flowcharts.
Phase 4
Engineer and Implement
The site begins to take on its final form in this phase, as we merge the branded user interface with the core messages and the back-end technology, bringing the project to life. As interactivity and site features are added, we are constantly looking for ways to improve, enhance and innovate. Along with the client, our team carefully analyzes the project to ensure that it achieves the goals outlined during Phase 1. The functionality is also rigorously tested by our development team to make sure everything is working properly before the site goes live.
Phase 5
Deliver and Deploy
When we reach this phase, the project is a fully completed and functional solution. The project has gotten final client approval and is ready to “go live”. The site is submitted to search engines and either delivered to the client, or uploaded to our own servers.
Phase 6
Cultivate and Maintain
After the site has been delivered and gone live, we work with our clients to ensure that the project is fulfulling their ongoing needs. We carefully monitor the success of each project to learn from what we did right, and what we could have improved upon. New solutions often arise to solve old problems. We work with our clients to propose new solutions based on our ongoing experience in the industry.
