THE PROCESS -

A call to ABS Custom Web Development at 1-707-526-0580 begins the process. One of our Design Consultants will assist you in determining the best strategy in making your on-line venture a reality.

Many of ABS's clients take advantage of our "Website Blueprint" consultation service. This phase in your development allows you to spend time with a team of Web specialists covering the graphic, programming and marketing aspects of your project. The final deliverable is a series of documents, including: Executive Summary/Needs Analysis, Narrative of Site Functions and Use Cases, Site Map, User Interface/Creative Brief, Dataflow Diagram and Database Schematic. Completion of the "Blueprint" phase allows you to move forward immediately with a clear understanding of how your site will look, function and how much it will cost.

Upon completion of the scope-of-work phase, the production team begins building your Website. A team of graphic designers will create a number of "comps" which preview the look-and-feel of your site. Upon approval of the comps the HTML programmers integrate the graphic elements with your content while the production team builds your back-end database. Following integration of all components, the final modifications and quality control tests are performed.

When your Website is complete we "take it live". This means your site is now on the Web and accessible to anyone in the world.

A site simply being "live" does not ensure there will be visitors going to your site. Your Design Consultant can work with you to configure the ideal promotion package for your site. This can include: search engine optimization and announcement, banner advertising, affiliate relationship development as well as traditional media. ABS and its strategic fulfillment partners offer a broad range of promotional and marketing capabilities.
