• Proposal and Contract Acceptance We have put together a complete website proposal that will spell out all the details of your new website project. It covers everything from design and photos to development and database. Please contact your sales associate with any questions or concerns.
• Custom Concept Design This step is important because is directly connected to your link structure and purpose of the website Web design is underrated in many cases overlooked all together, don't make the mistake of hiring a friend or non professional. Your site design is after all your opportunity to shine so make it glow with a well thought out concept that works.
• Navigation or Link Structure The navigation process plays an important role in the success or failure of you website project in that most users need to be lead to achieve a positive result. Have you ever been lost on a website and spent a long time just searching for a page with no success? Well that won't happen on your new website when it's built by a professional development company such as Albany Graphics.
• Marketing Stage One (Title and Key terms) Market is a process that should last the life of your website as long as you keep things up to date. Google, Yahoo, and MSN are always making changes to their indexing process and for this reason you need a ongoing marketing plain. This step involves creating the foundation of the site such as Titles, Headings, Content, Alt and Title Tags.
• Site Content and Style The content and style of your website is delivered and managed with an external CSS (cascading style sheet) document that allows us to effect color, location, and much more. Making the style of your site in this manner sets the stage for the look and feel as well as consistency.
• Photo and Video Editing where needed This is my favorite step because it's all about getting attention and keeping it. Your photo and graphics should be your own that's why Albany Graphics always uses licensed images . The video work is done with Adobe CS3 Premiere Pro the best in my opinion in video edition and production by far.
• Code Compliancy W3.org Standards The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. Led by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, W3C's mission is to lead the Web to its full potential. Albany Graphics is a full compliant development firm and we have always believed in providing high quality web design.
• Client Review and Approval The review and approval is a process by which all clients must complete before the website is published. It is important to note that publishing any website is much the same as publishing any book. With this in mind you can see just how important a complete and well planned website needs to be.
• Marketing Second Stage (Search Engine Optimization) You have heard the term and you know the definition but did you know about 70% of the firms claiming the ability to provide SEO services don't have a clue. It's not surprising because of the constant changes made to the way browers work and search engins index pages.
