Where it all starts.

The stage where ideas flow.

I would routinely categorize this process as the brainstorming process. I use this time to gather my thoughts and understand the layout needed to accomplish the customer's goals. I gather information that would pertain to the current project and ogranize them in a fashion that will make later processes less complicated.

I try to make sure that I have touched base with my customer enough to correctly fulfill his goals of the website. I also research all the tools that will be necessary to finish the requirements of the job. This would be categorized as the most important process because without a strong amount of research the rest of the project will be limited in terms of completeness.

• The base of any project is the core.
• Connecting with the client and understanding what they want is the ultimate goal here.

Design

Photoshop meets Graphic Designer

This is where the partnership comes into play. Travis, the talented graphic designer, will come up with many layout ideas for the website with input from myself, Taylor. Travis will come up with many different logos, designs, pictures, drawing, etc. that will catch the eye and we will ultimately decide on what will benefit the customers needs the most and grab the consumers eye.

After this stage we will send a quick mock up of how the site will look via pictures of a few pages and make sure the customer is satisfied with the general look of the webpage. Once this step is completed and approved, the fun begins.

• The design is the key to how the finished product will look.

Project Development

Advanced Technologies meets Detailed Programmer

By utilizes the latest and greatest technologies known to web development such as html5, css, php, mysql, javascript, jquery, and much more. I am them able to start up a project in Dreamweaver (my preferred website management tool) and start coding. Each line of code has its specific value and I make sure to make every line readable. I take pride in the robustness and ease of use that I put into my coding and like to think that my years of experience in Computer Science is very well put to use.

I make sure to always use test servers to ultimately check to make sure the website and database if the website calls for one is working properly. I code each line of code from the opening tab to the end and pride myself in this. I am not a lazy coder; making sure to have many error checking to make the system as robust as possible while also being efficient. Some of the other tools that are used during the development stage are Dreamweaver, Photoshop, XXAMP, phpMyAdmin, Terminal, Preview, and various Web Browsers.

I use many tools such as Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools to make sure that your website is being monitored regularly. These functions give me the avenue to show you detailed information of who is visiting your site, queries, and other important information to reach out to your target audience. I create a specific sitemap for each website and take the time to submit each sitemap to google as long with verifying each website to search engines for indexing. This is very important in terms of SEO optimization and here at Skyline Design we offer some of the best SEO optimization possible. By writing specific meta tags, descriptions, and etc. to each page of code we are able to get your website near the top in terms of competitors and keywords.

We will never move on to the next process until we feel as if we have a superior product that we can be proud of and show to the client.

• At Skyline Design, we keep up with this fast paced industry and only use the revolutionary programming languages.
• Understanding how every tag, function, and script works is the key to success.

Client Showing

Moment of Truth

This process is the ultimate test. We hold a meeting with the client and show him our finished work. Take in mind we are in constant contact with the client throughout each process to keep him updated on the whereabouts of the progress. If all goes well this meeting will be pretty much cut and dry. Hopefully, we strive for approval of the client and move on to the last few processes once the client has had a chance to review the product.

• Customer satisfaction is our main goal in every project.
• This is our great opportunity to get detailed feedback from the client.

Feedback Revisions

Time to revise the roughdraft.

During the last process, we take in all of the feedback given from the client and make revisions. These can range from small to large. We will make sure to do whatever is necessary to meet the needs of the client. No matter how late of a night that calls for we will ALWAYS make the deadline. If we can not accomodate the client, we will promptly let the client know and take appropriate avenues to compromise around the situation to set up something that will work for them.

• This is where we put the finishing touches on the project, and come up with the "final draft".

Client Approval & Project Launch

Time to enjoy the work accomplished.

This process is when everything gets finalized. We go through the website together and make sure that the client is more than pleased. We finalize the deal and go over all terms and agreements of the contract. Usually the client is put on a monthly plan for monthly hosting, maintence, updating, etc.

We will set a date with the client when the website will launch. We will make sure everything is in place to make sure this day goes as smooth as possible. We will do one last check to make sure there are no errors and everything is in proper working order. Last, we will discuss any future projects, shake hands, write checks, and have a delicious lunch.

Although, our product is finished and launched. Our service for our client is never finished. We offer some of the best customer support, and we will strive to make sure that this project stays updated and in the top tier brackets of websites.

• Where all the hard work has paid off.
• While the work is finished, we understand our service for your is never complete.
