Web Site Design &
Development
Intralytics can help your
organization with innovative designs, user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive
programming. The outline below describes the process we use.
Develop
a Needs Analysis
Determine a basic set of objectives -
- Simply stated, what is the
purpose of the Web site?
- Who is the audience?
- What will they see and hear?
- How should they interact
with the data?
- What response is needed or
desired?
Asset Identification
Once the site objectives have been established, determine which site elements already
exist and which must be created. These include such items as;
- Corporate logos
- Text Documents
- Pictorial Elements
- Video Clips
- Audio Clips
- Internal and external links
to other sites and networks
Design
Recommendations
We will study the Needs Analysis and the asset list and present our recommendations for
your Web site in three documents:
Mission Statement
This document details our understanding of the objectives of the site, provides a listing
of assets needed to create it, a projected schedule for the completion of the work and an
estimate of the costs involved.
Pathway Design
To clearly show navigational pathways and connectivity both within and outside the site,
we will diagram the assets of the site and clearly identify the connections between them.
Interface Design
To illustrate how a user can access all the data, we will create a sample home page to
show basic navigational tools and interface design.
Collection of Assets
Having approved a plan, a budget and a production schedule, the next step is to collect
and deliver all your assets to Intralytics. It is important for the designers and
programmers to actually have access to the materials to understand document flow and to
implement style changes that might be necessitated by the overall Web design.
Production of all Elements
Creation of original art. Intralytics will create the elements that haven’t been
provided. These will likely include;
- Interface and navigation
elements
- Page Headers
- Theme graphics
- Animation sequences
Digital Conversion
Simultaneously, digital conversion of existing assets may be required to bring them into
some kind of harmony with the technical demands of the Web and the various browsers
required;
- Scan and convert pictorial
elements to appropriate format
- Digital conversion of video
and audio elements
- Digital conversion of text
elements
Programming
& Emulation
The programming of the site includes:
- Construction of HTML,
Shockwave and Java applet code in conjunction with the site designer for correct
utilization and placement of all elements on their respective pages.
- Exhaustive testing of the
navigational system to make sure it works smoothly and as expected each time the site is
visited.
- Emulation of the site.
Launching The finished site will be uploaded to the final server site. The server will
enable the content on your site to be accessed and viewed by Internet users throughout the
world.
