Website Development

You have a working idea of the site, but the pages are still in the air.

When you work with the professionals in design and development at TOTUS, you can expect detailed work on site development as well. This is the meat and potatoes of the designing business. It's also the most important step beyond project definitions; it requires lots of work to create a user experience leading to a sale.

Using the holistic approach, once the previous steps in the process are complete, it's easier for you to see results before the page is even up.

Site development showcases your web strategy. Here's how it works.

Technical/Functional Plans Refined

Again, by using a holistic approach to design and management, your pages show the hard work you put into them. After we review previous steps including the creative brief, site structure, and visual design, we confirm that everything supports your project goals.

If you want a broad user accessibility, for example, TOTUS developers will insure all types of users can access your pages via different browsers.

Speaking of browsers, that's the first part of targeting the technical specs for your website. What browsers do you want to target? Also, you need to know your operating system--Mac and Windows usually--along with display resolutions and connection speeds. Another important part is download times. If you have a lot of dynamics on your website, some users may experience slow response on their computers (which can occur for a variety of reasons).

This must be answered immediately; TOTUS ensures you keep prospects on your pages.

The holistic approach to development works well here. You need to create that complete user experience, but it's more than one step -- it's many.

Next, we confirm your functional specs.

You want everyone to be able to enter your web "store," which means you need to consider the functionality aspects.

You also want to be dynamic, creating exciting pages with HTML, rich media, and easy sale conversions. That means many functional specs come into play, including: CSS,Flash, HTML, Javascript, Rich Media, Search, Web Analytics, and secure credit card transactions.

Now It's time to have fun.

After we do all the heavy lifting for the technical and functional specs, you get glimpses of a house being built. This website will be built and integrated using templates with a wide variety of accessibility for all users. Pages are created with by posting content and adding options for future content. Then there is a bit more heavy lifting as you get more dynamic features such as search and transaction capabilities created.
