We split the web development process into two main stages:

Stage I - Website layout design

What we basically do is to create the look and feel of the website. The goal of this stage is to get a generic page design.

The generic page will be "customized" for each page later, including logo, and other graphic resources to be used on all pages. We can say that this generic internal page works to ensure all internal pages maintain identical dimensions and lock in standard layout so that all pages load with the exact same layout without any shift regardless of browser used or whether a PC or MAC . The generic page is then uploaded to one of our R&D sites so that you may view it on the web instead of the printed design samples many others provide.

This first stage takes between 5 and 10 working days.


The homepage design includes the text, images and links that will be used throughout the site. Up to four revisions are performed by applying changes you request.

Stage II -Full site development

Once the final layout has been created and approved by you, each site's page is generated by applying the text and image content (if any) you provide us for use in the approved design.

 

We upload the generated pages to our R&D site used for your site and test all to ensure the look, structure and functionality is precise, making adjustments and/or corrections as needed.

 

Upon approval of the finished website and final payment for the finished website, we publish the completed site to your hosting account at Boston's Best Website Hosting (our wholly-owned hosting division) on the designated server for your account and perform a complete test to ensure all pages and content uploaded correctly and all functions work as designed.

 

If using a hosting provider not owned by us, we can upload the page files to a web server once we're provided with user name and password of your external hosting account

This stage typically takes up to a day per html page to be developed, based on the complexity of the content and any specialized functions such as searchable databases, audio and/or video content and other custom features ordered.

 

General comments:

It is expected that you provide us with all the textual content and images to be included in the pages. Text for the site is to be submitted in either MS Word (.doc) format or Adobe PDF format. Images must be in any of the following formats: .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, .eps

 

IMPORTANT: Using copyrighted images you do not own or without written permission is a violation of state and federal laws as prescribed in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and carries severe civil and criminal penalties.

 

If needed, we can usually provide images, taken from royalty-free image stocks at a nominal cost per image. The cost is for processing the image(s) for use in your site. More information available on request.
