Our Process

Webfoot takes web design seriously. It is important to understand the life cycle of a web design project and how it can quickly and efficiently get your website online! Below is an outline of the Webfoot web design process and explanation of each step.

Web Design

1. Design Meeting - This is a meeting held between yourself and a member of the Webfoot design team. In this meeting, you will define the website page structure. This is a categorized listing of all pages/sections of your website. After defining the page structure, you will provide a brief explanation of the expectations of each page. In other words, what is the purpose of the page, and what do you wish to accomplish on that page. From that point you will discuss the look and feel of the website; What kind of design elements (theme of the website), images, and dynamic content you would like. By the meetings end, Webfoot will have a clear understanding of what you would like the site to look like and how it should function.
   
   
2. Create Sample - Webfoot will create a sample of a home page and a sub page (content page) based on the discussion in the initial design meeting.
   
   
3. Review Sample - You will review the provided samples and give feedback for (if any) changes. This can be done in a meeting environment or through a series of emails and phone calls.
   
   
4. Content - From this point you will need to provide the content for every page that was defined in the page structure. For your convenience, Webfoot will provide an account with a simple web planning tool to help keep your content organized for each page. Once the content is approved you will not be able to change the content as part of the project.
   
   
5. Creation & Review - Webfoot will design the web ready formatted website (using the approved design samples and content), placing it in a temporary location internet location for your review.  During your review you may make changes to the layout of the content, or images. This can be done in a meeting environment or through a series of emails and phone calls. Once the site has been approved, Webfoot will move the temporary site to its permanent home on your domain name and make the site go live.

Graphic Design

1. Design Meeting - This is a meeting between yourself and a member of the Webfoot design team. In this meeting you will discuss the scope of the project and any essential requirements. After getting a good idea of the graphic design project details, Webfoot will work with you to develop a design concept.
   
   
2. Create Sample - Webfoot will create a small series of samples based on the concept discussed in the design meeting.
   
   
3. Review Sample - Once the samples are completed, you will be able to meet and review them with a member of the Webfoot design team. Depending on the project scope, Webfoot will tweak the samples per your direction. Once approved the finished design files will be either sent to you via email, copied to a personal thumbdrive, or burned on a cd-rom.
