The Design Process
Artvay's approach to web design and web development follows a six-stage process:
Stage 1: Initial Consultation
Following an initial discussion by e-mail or telephone, we will prepare a free proposal document detailing your requirements together with the fees and time scales for our services. At this stage we may also present some additional ideas and advice that we feel could provide you with more opportunities to develop a solutions which best suits your requirement. If necessary we also provide our clients with AN ABSOLUTELY FREE OF COST MOCKUP/PROTOTYPE for the proposed website so that you can judge our skills in terms of understanding of the project and generate views for your proposed website. We will then refine the proposal based on any feedback you may have in order to give you a final cost and time analysis.
Stage 2: Final Proposal
If you are satisfied with the proposal document and mockup and need to discuss it further, we will then hold a face-to-face meeting or a further discussion by email, live chat or telephone. During this discussion we will finalize any points prior to entering into an agreement.
Stage 3: Agreement and Initial Payment
If you are satisfied with the proposal document and would like to proceed further, we will prepare an agreement of services with clearly defined all the deliverables and receivables. Once the signed and accepted agreement and initial payment are received we will begin work on the project. The agreement is specifically and fairly prepared to protect both Artvay and you. You will receive a sample of the agreement for your review with the initial proposal document.
Stage 4: Initial Development
In the first stage of actual development, we will modify or prepare a new a layout design for your web site. This may be based upon any preferences you have for color, style, competitor sites, corporate branding, and so forth. Based upon your feedback on the template, we will refine the design style accordingly and re-present it to you. This iterative process of feedback and refinement will continue until you are completely satisfied with the final design.
Whilst the template process is continuing and where required, we will also be working on developing other components for the site (such as if you request a database or an online store). This will mean that the development process will be much quicker than if we undertook just one process at a time.
Stage 5: Integration and Refinement
Once the template has been agreed, it will be integrated with the site content and / or any other site components included in the project. The system will then be thoroughly tested before being presented to you for review. Once again, we will undertake a process of feedback and refinement on the full development until you are completely satisfied with the final web site.
Stage 6: Completion
With the web site finished to your satisfaction, we will then complete any post-development tasks you have requested (such as search engine optimization) or simply transfer all the intellectual property rights to you or upload the site to the your server.
What happens after the development is complete?
Once your site is up and running, this is not the end of our relationship. You may want to amend the way the site works, or change text or images. We will always be available to you for ongoing support and maintenance, and any future work requested will always follow the same structured approach described above - no matter how small the update, there will never be any hidden surprises.
Artvay also one of the only web development companies to guarantee the quality of their work. We provide a 1-month guarantee on all completed projects, so that if for any reason you find a coding error or omission it will be corrected free of charge.
How long does a web site take?
This will depend very much upon your particular project requirements, but as a rough guide you can expect the following time frames from Artvay
• 1 page web site – 3-10 working days
• 5-10 page web site – 5-15 working days
• An online store – 30-50 working days
• Custom web developments or CMS with database integration etc. 30+ working days
Because of Artvay’s unique company structure, you never need to wait for more than a few days for your project to begin, as we always have the necessary teams to hand ready to start.
Web Design fees
Every web design and development project undertaken by Artvay is unique. Your project is unique therefore, we do not offer pre-packaged pricing structures, but instead prepare a quotation as individual as your business based upon a standard daily charge rate.
You can rest assured though, that you will always receive the best value for money and before commencing any work on your project, we will always agree a fixed price fee so that you know exactly how much it will cost and that there will be no hidden surprises.
Our daily rate is one of the most competitive in the market, so it may be cheaper than you think to use Artvay as your web development partner.
