What is
the primary goal of a company website?
Every company
has a unique set of objectives
for their website, and their customers have very
specific needs too. The
primary goal of a web
design firm is to  effectively
merge those two perspectives
together. Imbalances
are bad enough, but one
without the other just
won’t
work. You can expect us to thoroughly review
the needs of your company
and its customers before
recommending a
path to follow.
Just what exactly is custom web design?
There are two basic types of websites: template-based and custom sites.
Each choice has it own unique benefits. A new company, without
a lot of startup capital, can “get on the web” with a template-based
site. The template-based site will look like many other basic sites on the web,
but it will save on the design and programming cost. On the other side, a seasoned
company that is concerned with its image and seizing the best opportunities present
from the web would be best served from choosing a professional design firm to
custom build a site tailored to the company’s precise needs. Custom
built sites, from true design companies, include intuitive navigation with optimized
performance. You can also expect the best graphics and most interesting layouts
available. Lexcio MediaSM specializes in building these custom websites.
What is the general design process?
The web design process works through the following steps:
Planning:
We first discuss the company's goals for the site. We find out what objectives
are the most important and must be met so that we can determine how to make
the site a measurable success. In the planning stage, we resolve balancing
the company's budget with the required features, and armed with this information,
we will submit a proposal to your company outlining the site's goals, cost
and delivery time.
 Development:
After acceptance of the proposal, we will make a proof for the site's overall
appearance. Once approved, we begin developing the site from top to bottom.
We provide updates on the progress of the site & the sections that have
been completed or are in progress. Once the site is completed and approved,
it will be posted live on the Internet at the desired location.
Maintenance:
When a client’s site needs updating, they have two available choices.
If it is a text or simple image update, this can usually be achieved by LEXCIOWARESM
content
management software. If preferred, Lexcio MediaSM will provide these routine
updates for you. If your company needs programming or design changes, we will always
be there to service your needs.
The total planning and development process generally takes around 6 to 8 weeks.
If the project requires a quick turnaround, we can do it much faster, however the most creative work requires more design time.
