Web Design

Phase I – Discovery

The Discovery phase helps identify the goals of your Web redesign project. We use a brief survey that will allow you to communicate your wants and needs. It will also give you an opportunity to give specific examples of what you like and don’t like. This phase will also include conference calls to determine needs and functional specifications of the project including more detail on your specific goals for your new Web site. The end result of this phase is to create an approved inventory of elements for global wrapper and the home page.

Phase II - Wireframe

Based on the information collected during the Discovery phase ATS will generate several wireframe options to explore different ways to layout the inventory of site elements from the Discovery phase. At this point we are not looking at graphics and color. The wireframes will cover basic layout and visual hierarchy for the new site. Once a wireframe is selected and approved, we can move on to the Design phase.

Phase III - Design

The approved wireframe will be used to create several graphic design proposals. These proposals will be truly different options and not just different color options of a single concept. We start with the global wrapper and home page look and feel. All content will be just placeholder until later in the process. After selecting and dialing in a wrapper/home page design we will move onto the “content” page design. The content page design will also include examples of proposed textual formatting for basic content types (headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, etc.) as well as out of the box RiSE base ui elements.

We have had tremendous success with this approach in both the results for the client as well as keeping the costs down. Examples of this process can be viewed on our portfolio page. 

Phase IV - Develop

In the Develop phase, we will use RiSE’s web-based Theme Builder tools to develop the new custom template and theme to make it real. At the end of the Development phase you will have a new RiSE site with the custom design applied and ready to accept content.

Phase V – Deploy

Once the custom template and theme has been developed and content has been populated, ATS will work with your team and the ASI EMS team to bring what has been developed in the staging environment live.
