The First Step In The Process Is To Analyze Your Needs

We take time to understand and evaluate your business as well as your customers so that we can develop tools which benefits both your business and the end-user. During this process we define and refine the project goals. Our analysis results in detailed blueprints for the infrastructure of your site.

The best Web site solutions are born from a marriage of the client's knowledge of their business and XiConnect's Internet expertise. As a client you are our most important partner... with input and control through each stage of the design process.

Analyzing Information 
First and foremost - we listen carefully

XiConnect takes the user's point-of-view, to maximize the success of the site!  We address site navigation, structural flow, content development, visual communication, and technical efficiency.  We learn about your current business processes, target markets and competition. Review your products, services, current distribution channels and marketing strategies. We talk about short and long term goals and objectives. Discuss budgets, identify specific needs and project timelines. Our meetings are short and informative. Illustrative demonstrations help you understand our services and introduce a variety of appropriate solutions, that can be incorporated into a comprehensive, interactive Web site.

Strategic Planning
Failure to Plan... is a Sure Plan for Failure 

Project objectives are the frame of reference for our design team. A target audience specific to your business objectives and the Internet is defined, so that the site can be tailored to those viewers. Content is analyzed and organized so that clear concise navigation can be designed for the site. 
By prioritizing ease of use and capacity for modification and expansion... expert and novice users alike can navigate robust information architectures, persuasive marketing communications; as well as shopping and service applications. Our design team considers the advantages and limitations of the Web's evolution, then selects technologies required to assemble a site that will effectively meet the defined e-business objectives.


At the conclusion of this phase, we prepare a detailed written proposal that includes the following:

A detailed analysis of design, marketing, and technical needs Prioritized needs in order of importance A timeline for efficient implementation Projected maintenance and ongoing services A fixed price bid

We thoroughly review the proposal with you to ensure that it meets your business objectives and falls within your budget. Once finalized and signed, the proposal will serve as a blueprint for production.

Web Site Production
Thorough Review and Attention to Details 

Clients are encouraged to view the Web site throughout its development. Work can be displayed as a working Prototype at a private, unpublished Web address known only to you the client. This way you see your site via its real medium as it's being developed. This is the only reliable process for web design and production, capable of demonstrating whether or not a design translates well on the Web. Your feedback is incorporated immediately. Revisions and updates can be easily and quickly displayed via the Web for your convenience. This "wired" way for clients to review projects and exchange information is the wave of the future. It's a simple process and communications are easily handled through e-mail, fax and telephone.

 

We adhere closely to the project timeline outlined in the proposal. Two formal reviews are scheduled, a first draft review and then a final draft review. Your site is thoroughly tested by our staff before final installation.

 

Launch & Promotion
Effective Marketing is the Key to Success

Once production is complete and our client's expectations have been fully satisfied, we begin the Web site launch and promotion. Prior to Web site installation, we prepare our clients through training, written documentation 
and test simulations. We can also implement customer training to transfer any relevant knowledge from the production phase to our clients for future use. After installation, XiConnect can offer additional services to implement a combination of marketing strategies to encourage your viewers to visit the site. Search engine indexing, selected Internet advertising, conventional print media, and press releases can be used to generate interest and quality traffic to your site.

Maintenance & Support
A Productive Relationship

Keeping a Web site up to date in both content and technology is vital to reaching and maintaining an audience. Because the Internet is a constantly evolving medium, we anticipate the need for new features and pages. We'll ensure that the maintenance of the site is manageable and dovetails neatly with your existing resources, by providing you with a flexible layout and file management scheme. XiConnect offers a variety of measurement tools to ensure long term success. Examples of continuing services we offer to meet your evolving Web presence needs are: site maintenance, updates and promotion services as well as services to perform traffic analyses and facilitate as well as verify smooth transfer of information in and out of the Web site.
