The Saddlerock Website Approach

We've developed a system that works well for our clients and us developers. Based on solid communication, our approach helps ensure that the client gets what they need and the developer doesn't get overcommitted.

Step 1: Gather Your Requirements

Determining what you need before you build it is crucial. Our goal is to create a site that meets your needs. Your first step in creating your website is filling out a simple questionnaire about your organization and what you need your website to do for you. This will determine which web features SRS will implement for your site, like photo galleries, product catalogs, newsletters, streaming video and/or audio, and email systems.

We also gather the images and text you want for your site during this part of the design phase. Without your images and what you want your site to say, it's impossible to build your website.

Step 2: Select Your Visual Design

You may just have a very specific idea of what you want your site to look like, or your ideas may be more general (an artsy feel, earthtones only, or a high-tech look). Saddlerock Solutions uses professionally designed visual theme templates that give your site a clean, consistent experience for your website visitors.

Step 3: Build, Approve, then Go Live!

After we have defined your requirements and collected your images and text, and you have selected your visual theme, then we begin construct your website.

• It typically takes about two weeks to build your site and have it ready for your review and approval.

Saddlerock Solutions will create a version of your website on our demo server for your approval. Once you approve your "demo" site, we will move your website from our demo server to your own domain server (www.yourbusinessname.com) and your site will be available to anyone on the world wide web.

• It typically takes about a week to transfer your website from our demo server to your server.

Step 4: Market Your Site

Building the world's best website is useless if nobody knows it is there. Your website package includes submitting your site to all the major search engines asd well as several web-based marketing tools and strategies.
