How do I do it?
If you like what you see in my portfolio section and would like to hire me please fill in the proposal form (RFP) and I'll contact you shortly. If we agree on terms you can expect few phases in working with me. This is based on website projects but can be applicable on all kinds of services you would like to start with me.
- Talk and listen
- So you like my style and would like to work with me. Excellent! First step in understanding your vision is to communicate and discuss the idea. I like to listen and learn how your bussines works in order to deliver the best results. After the analysis and assessment I'll commit myself to work on the most optimal and usable information architecture that will run your future website or any other product you need.
- Doodling
- My personal philosophy is that all good ideas come from the head and not the screen. So my first step in creative process is to draw and sketch as much as I can to see what works the best for your product.This will produce the basic wireframes and styles.
- Designing
- After the basics the next step is creating a layout. This is where your website will start taking its shape. Looking at the sitemap that was created in the first step I'll start building home page and all subpages needed for your content. Some small corrections and adjustments will follow because now we see how it works on screen and not paper alone. I'll pay special attention to the fact that your site must be usable and eye friendly. This phase will include some feedback from you and maybe couple of revisions until we agree on the final design.
- Developing
- After we both agree on the best layout and style I'll continue to develop your site. This is where lots of coding will follow. I'm crazy about order and structure so I assure you the backbone of your site will be neat and clean. This will be presented with the standards-compliant XHTML markup and precise CSS code which will render equaly on all common platforms. When this is finished I'll add some quality JavaScript with the best framework available meaning jQuery. All this will be neat and clean hence the Google will read it like a book meaning you'll have quality Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in order.
- Publishing
- After the hard work is done the next step is to test and deploy the product on your dedicated host. If you're not farmiliar how to exactly achieve that I'll help you in choosing the best hosting solution for you and your site. If you need I'll also help you with configuring application for tracking traffic on site and analysing results. After this phase you can sit back and enjoy your brand new (and good looking web if I may add) website.
These phases are common almost every time but if you need custom based solution we can talk about it too.
