Read the 10 steps we follow to build your Online & Offline Intranet Project
1
Initial chat = DISCOVERING
The "Chatting Moment" is when we lay out the entire project from beginning to end. We will contact you online using the video call application of your preference to go over the project and to make sure we are on the same page. We will then put together a full spec sheet and wire-frames. By talking, we find out what your goals are for the website and how we can best achieve them. We'll go over what your inspirations are and what you want your website to say - figuratively and literally!
2
USER EXPERIENCE & finding your style
Once the overall design of the site is decided upon we will begin working on the user experience. This includes placement of calls-to-action on pages, the flow of the site, making sure it is easy to use, etc. We start designing your site for you. We'll give you a few different design options for you to look over for your homepage. Once we get the homepage set we'll get going on building the rest. We go page by page. One page at a time.
3
DESIGNING
Our designers will put together a site design based on your notes and samples of sites that you like. It will then be sent over for your approval before front-end development begins.
4
Processing
Our process is very collaborative - there are no surprises at the end with us! We will go back and forth with you so you can approve each layer of the website. We want to make sure everything is perfect for you!
5
FRONT-END & DEVELOPMENT
After the design and user experience are approved, we will move on to the front-end development. We use the latest languages, HTML, CSS and jQuery, to build a front-end that is fast, scalable, and is cross-browser compatible for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and any device or screen size. The site will be totally responsive.
6
BACK-END DEVELOPMENT - let's build it
We will be using PHP / MySQL to build the back-end of the website to ensure it is scalable and secure. Whether you choose WordPress or a custom framework, everything we do is modular, which means if a year down the road you want to add a new feature, it can be done easily without having to rebuild the entire site.
7
POPULATING
After we've integrated all of the pages into the content management system, we'll take the content for the site and rebuild each of the pages. This is when we include photos, icons, tables, and anything else the page needs to look great and perform well.
8
TESTING / Q&A
Throughout the development process, we will be testing the functionality and appearance on multiple browser platforms. Once the site has been fully populated and is in preparation to go live, we will initiate an extensive Q&A on the complete site.
9
- LAUNCHING YOUR NEW SITE
This is the best moment! After your site has been thoroughly tested, optimized for search engines, and designed exactly how you want, we go live! All of our sites have a 45 day maintenance period, meaning if you don't love something, we'll change it, totally free of charge. Aannnnnd we're done! Your site is completed and you have signed off that it is perfect! We finish up some SEO and index your site on Google to make sure everyone you want to be seeing your site is seeing it.

Built to Convert
All of our websites are built with conversion in mind. Our web designs for professional landscapers are built with the fastest way to get your service, short lead capture forms, clear policies, intuitive navigation, photos and videos that help sell you as your industry’s authority.
Designed with SEO
SEO should begin with web design. All of our landscaping, gardening, farming and contractors websites are built on industry leading SEO standards, incorporating smart internal link and page structures, finely tuned taxonomies, time tested keyword strategies, and dozens of other features.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Your business is unique. Your website should be too. All of our sites are built from the ground up to reflect your business’s focus. If you specialize in high end luxury landscaping, budget landscaping, hardscaping, water features, sustainable landscaping, big gardens or build beautiful houses, your website should show visitors everything they need to know. That way, when they decide to contact you, you’ll know that they’re the right customers for you.
