Overview
Our process is simple really.
1. Logo
First if you don't have a logo we start out with the design of your logo. We will discuss color options and let you use an online color tool from Adobe to choose color combinations. Once a logo is completed and approved we send you a zip file of the logo sources and fonts that can be used in printing and in popular graphic software applications like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Corel Draw and of course PDF and EPS for printers.
2. Site Layout
After the logo is complete we move to the site layout, for best results its recommended to show us a similar style site that you like, colors and structure aren't really important as our graphic designer will be custom producing your sites layout from scratch but it's good to give him a idea of what you're looking for this will speed up the process and lead him in the right direction of producing something that you find attractive.
3. Coding
Once the site layout is complete we send it to our XHTML coding department where they will take the mockup of the home page and inner pages if you purchased a inner page layout and convert these to XHTML code.
4. Integration
Once the XHTML coding is complete we integrate this code into our ecommerce platform, this portion takes anywhere from 3 -5 days to complete. This portion completes the store design unless you have purchased additional PHP programming work at which point PHP programming would commence.
5. Complete
Once the project is complete and if you are hosting with us we set up hosting on our server for you and provide you with login details for the hosting account and store administration backend. From there you can begin to add your products. We setup the complicated items like shipping, payment modules and configure tax and store location.
