At Stockstreet Interactive, we know we are only as good as our last project - fortunately our experience in over 250 web projects has enabled us to create a process that ensures all aspects of your project are researched, developed and delivered on time and on budget:

The following is what you can expect during the development of your project:

Taking the brief
Our comprehensive Client Needs Analysis will allow us to extract exactly what your business and your project is is all about in terms of goals and expectations. If we don't ask you a particular question, it's because we don't need to know.
Proposal submission
A full 12+ page proposal that outlines exactly what you will receive, when you will receive it and for how much. Unlike our competitors, not only do we articulate what you will receive, we also clarify what you won't.
Research
Before a canvas is created or even a doodle drawn, we commit 10% of the total project time to further research. Research on your company, its competitors, industry trends, international comparisons, industries that follow similar paths of delivery to its customers, then we commit time to research the required design elements across a range of media.
Mockup
Now for the fun part (well, all parts are fun but this one is where we can really let our creativity shine). Combining orignal flair with a nod for current design trends and usability, we ensure the correct elements are receiving the required attention.
Development
For many web agencies, the words "web standards" means "table-less design". This is really only the beginning. At Stockstreet, developing to web standards means building a site that is lean, clean, CSS-based, accessible, usable and search engine friendly. To explain this in simple terms, we build your site properly using the best technologies currently available.
Testing
Once we have incorporated all available content, we then test the usability, browser compatibility, overall user-experience and functionality of your new site.
Go live
The moment you have been waiting for! We schedule your launch date for maximum impact to new and prospective customers, typically with a co-ordinated eBlast campaign and an eye trained on your site analytics.
Promote
Submission to the appropriate directories and engines as required by your industry plus a checklist of items you can carry on with to ensure the optimal success for your site. But don't think that's the last you will see of us - this is only the beginning. We sustain ongoing relationships with all of our clients advising them of new web marketing opportunities as they become available. So welcome to the family!

 

Timeline

While we are sure you will have expectations of us, we also have certain expectations of you to ensure that we can deliver on time and on budget. To deliver the above process, the following timeline typically applies to more than 75% of our projects:

  • Week 1 – Initial mockup/draft submitted for review. Feedback on draft required within 48 hours at the latest. Revisions carried out. Site map finalised. Client to commence composition of web copy
  • Week 2 – Layout complete and approved. Subsequent page layout also completed and approved. Design component of site now complete and locked down. Any subsequent request for revisions to layout will incur additional costs.
  • Week 3 – Development commences. Home page and subsequent page template sliced and coded. Content Management System (CMS) build commences. Web copy now due from client.
  • Week 4 – Development continues. Site framework complete and all pages connected to Content Management System. Copy input into CMS.
  • Week 5 – Layout of all copy into website. Flash animation developed, forms coded and form handlers designed. Meta tags, headings and content reviewed to ensure site is optimised correctly. Final review to be made by client and submitted for action. Training in use of CMS proceeds and access granted to CMS for client to make content revisions/additions as specified in the proposal. Access to client’s server now required.
  • Week 6 - Complete changes as specified in final review. Install CMS on client server, migrate database content and upload all files to server. Site goes live.
