Website development is a process of conceptualizing, planning, modeling, and the delivery of electronic media content via the Internet in the form of markup language suitable for interpretation by Web browsers, and displayed as a graphical user interface (GUI).
At Fowara, we believe your website is your most valuable marketing tool and should be customized for your company. Your website should actively create new business opportunities and help you meet your goals and objectives. As a website owner, ask yourself these questions:
- Is our website designed to attract our targeted audience?
- Does our website effectively convey the benefits offered to prospective customers?
- Is our website built with future growth in mind?
Website Development Process
There are several, critical steps in the website design and development process at Fowara.
- Information Gathering: This is the most important step. We ask questions and listen in order to gain a solid understanding of your organization's brand and your online business objectives.
- Planning: Based on the information gathered in step one, we create a plan for your website, including the initial site map, sometimes also called a wireframe.
- Design: One or more prototype designs is created for your website. It's often referred to as the "look and feel," and incorporates information about your products, your target audience and your online branding strategy.
- Web development: Web development is sometimes considered the entire process of building an Internet presence. In this instance, however, we are focused on the actual building of the website, using all the available tools and technologies. This involves writing valid XHTML and CSS (cascading style sheets) code that complies with current Web standards, and optimizing functionality and accessibility for a range of possible audiences.
- Testing and Delivery: We test the complete functionality of forms and scripts, and check the compatibility with the popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Finally, an FTP (file transfer protocol) program uploads your website, and your online presence is live.
- Website orientation and training: Fowara takes the time to make sure you are acquainted with the functionality of your website. Training is especially important for websites with ecommerce shopping capabilities and/or content management systems (CMS).
- Maintenance: Website maintenance and regular content updates are critical for a successful online brand, to achieve good search engine rankings, and to provide an enjoyable user experience. No matter the size of your organization or industry, Fowara can deliver an affordable and effective maintenance agreement for your online brand.
