Our Method is a melange of freeform intuitive experiencial-type
wisdom, and strict adherence to established Web Guidelines.
Step one is always sitting down with the client, and finding
out exactly what they have in mind, how long they have to get it
done, and how much they can afford. It's good to be clear on all
that before you get started so that everyone knows how to proceed.
Step two is a mocking up of the proposed project, if it
is a site, we will make some screenshots, if it is an animation,
we will create a storyboard.
Step three involves building an approved design, and usually
involves content/artwork from the client.
Step four is troubleshooting, and fine-tuning the site,
and or project, and usually the client feels anxiety.
Step five is a feeling of satisfaction of a job well done,
the launching of a site, and the exchange of monies.
Some of the things we utilize in the designing and implementation
process include:
Consistency: We use style
sheets, one or two fonts, and a restricted palette. Standards:
We try to use the latest in W3C
standards.( For the latest in fun design tips visit Zeldman's
Daily Report.) Optimizing: we would like everything to
load fast, be easy to find, and nice to look at. Call us crazy,
but it has just worked well to keep things inexpensive.
For Flash, nothign quite beats a look over at Moock.org,
or HillmanCurtis.com,
or FutureFarmers.
