Our Process
Here is what to expect if you hire Airtight Design to build or redesign your website.
No-Brainer:
Get a Free Consultation
Call us at 678-544-7506 or use this form to contact us. After a brief phone consultation, we will visit your place of business (or you can visit our atlanta office if you prefer) and work with you to develop an online strategy for your company.
Nuts & Bolts:
Develop a Requirements Document
Airtight Design will submit a formal proposal that thoroughly describes the site we will build, and provides an exact cost, outline and schedule. We’ll describe the interactivity and functionality of the site in exacting detail. This is a time-consuming exercise, but it will show you that we understand your business needs.
Kick-Off:
Establish our project plan
Our web developers will meet with you (your office or ours) to review the plan for the project. You’ll have one project manager who will guide you through the entire process. We can communicate via phone, email and/or in-person meetings. Our DevOps team will establish a web hosting solution that specifically meets your company’s needs.
Let’s Get Artsy:
Design of site mockups
After we have a plan for the website, we will custom build several mockups for the website based on your input. From the beginning we consider search engine optimization, browser compatibility, download times, usability and other technical issues. Usually we perform two rounds of revisions with mockups.
Hardcore geekery:
Create site architecture & database
Concurrent with the graphic design process, our project manager and web developers will be planning and setting up the architecture of your site and building the database schema. You’re welcome to be a part of this process, but you might find it agonizingly boring. Luckily for you, we love this stuff.
Nitty Gritty:
Final website build-out
When we have your materials, we will build the site using various standards-compliant web languages tools such as HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript. We’ve been doing this for more than 20 years, so you can count on us to choose the right technology to get the job done.
Let ‘er Rip!
Website testing and launch
When your site is built, and you are satisfied, we’ll launch. We teach you how to maintain your site, or we can maintain it for you and bill you on an hourly basis for maintenance services. We want to be your long-term web design and development partner.
