Design from Scratch

Let's Start from the beginning.

Planning is everything. We'll start the design process by discussing your goals for the site and your target market, and then look at the competition. Next we'll create the project plan, set a budget, and create the Proposal. After accepting the Proposal, it's time to develop the site's structure. The structural information is compiled into the Project-Spec document that will serve as the blueprint.

It's time to get creative! Desiging and perfecting the site is an iterative process. During this production phase you provide feedback in order to drive the direction of the design. After, the post-production phase consists of testing and search engine submission.

Finally, the design comes alive when the site is launched!

Redesigns

It's time to freshen up the look of your site!

Redesigns also start with planning. We'll start by discussing your goals for the new look of the site. What parts of the existing site can be improved? How can we change your look to be more up-to-date? In what ways can we improve the usability of your site to make it more user-friendly? We'll take a look at these and other topics in depth and then come up with a Proposal and Project-Spec.

The production and post-production phases are similar to the Design from Scratch Service: design approval - testing - site submission to search engines.

Photography & Web Graphics

Add attractive images to your site.

A picture is known to be worth a thousand words, and since Internet users are known to skim rather than thoroughly read online, it is very important to have photos and graphics on your site. Whether it's to sell your product or service or just improve the design of your site, The Visual Element is fully equipped and experienced at shooting and editing photos and creating graphics with Industry-Standard software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks.
