Website Design Methodology

We are unique in the web development industry because we practice user-centric design, recognizing that the human element comes first. Web technology is advancing at an incredible rate and it is easy to jump on new technology before its impact on usability is considered. To avoid this trap, we address how you and your visitors will be using your site, before we design and implement the underlying technology. Our four stage WebDART approach ensures that your site will meet your needs and the needs of your customers, while being supported by underlying technical excellence.

WebDART Methodology

Define Needs and Constraints: In stage one, we follow a consultative process to ensure that we understand what you need and are aware of any limitations you face. We take your financial constraints into consideration with our Guaranteed Pricing policy, and we anticipate your ongoing service requirements with a written, Customized Service Level Agreement.

Acknowledge Input and Objectives: Stage two of the WebDART approach includes a number of feedback loops that ensure your ongoing involvement in the design process. From a formal introductory conversation with your project manager, through documenting time lines and technical requirements, your input is critical. In this stage we provide you with practical tools, like our Web Launch Workbook, to help you organize and describe your website preferences so they are clearly reflected in the interface design and development.

Respond to Questions and Concerns: Once the look and feel of your site has been confirmed, the technical work begins. In stage three, formal design reviews ensure that your site is unfolding as it should. Internal Testing and Correction Cycles catch and repair problems quickly. Once again, you are actively involved through acceptance testing to make sure your site functions the way you need it to. And when you are ready, we provide training so that you get the most from your investment.

Tailored Solutions that Fit: The true test of our success is your satisfaction - with both your website and the process. Our commitment with WebDART is to be on target with a tailored solution that fits your needs, your time line and your budget.
