We Combine Quality Design
With Hot and Spicy Code
In the Loop
All meeting notes, documents and schedules are posted on our project management website, accessible by all those involved in the project.
Consult
Communication is key, which is why our process is designed to preserve and maintain strong communication channels from the very beginning. We don't just want to build you a website, we want to provide you with a solution and tools that work for your organization.
We meet with you to discuss your target needs and wish list, then address the steps needed to meet them. After working together to determine the best path and the included services we map out what it will look like and how we are going to get there through wireframes, similar to blueprints of a building.

Application Design
- Defined Functionality of the Website
- Database Schema
- Code Development Requirements
Design
Combining your design questionnaire responses with our expertise in web design and site usability, we develop a set of working concepts or designs that outline the look and feel of the new website. The concepts outline the type and number of page templates, as well as the interface elements that will be present on each.
Through your feedback and approved wireframes we determine a direction for the final interface design of the application and upon review of these concepts, you will select one to move forward with. After selection we will draft up to three revisions to ensure you receive the design that works for you and your audience.

Built to Code
All code is built to web standards
PHP/MySQL or .NET
Development adheres to Google Webmaster guidelines for Search Engine Optimization
Build
Our web development team begins modifying and developing code in the development phase that will power the website as outlined in the strategy and design phases. You remain informed throughout and as the process nears completion we will partner with you to ensure the final product is ready for launch in the following areas:
- Functionality and appearance testing across multiple browsers (includes IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome)
- Content upload to the test version of the site. This includes all text, photos and documents provided by the client or created by SiteCrafting
- On-site training with a SiteCrafting developer. All client administrators of the site will be given an admin manual for reference and provided training with the Web Production Manager responsible for the project.
Email Hosting
SiteCrafting provides email hosting for any of our sites. We will help you set up your email client and also provide web access to your messages.
Launch
So it's all ready - your site has been designed, coded to the highest standards, tested and is about to launch. We then work with your staff to insure the launch goes smoothly. While most clients host with SiteCrafting, we are able to assist you with setting up your servers for outside web hosting as well. Don't worry, we guide you through the process, which looks like this:
- Set up web server to serve up the new pages.
- Set up e-mail accounts
- Configure your internal e-mail clients to access our servers for mail.
- Switch DNS servers and wait 6-24 hours
- CELEBRATE!
SEO Tip
There is no mysterious search engine formula or advantage. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Short term tricks and gimmicks are not replacements for a long term strategy.
