Butterfly Web Design - Whats involved?

Our website solutions take care of everything for you. Our intention is to get to know the client and thereby understand their personal preferences and business methods as well as the functional needs

of the website they require. Butterfly web design can take care of everything, from initial website

address (url) registration, designing the website from start to finish, to actively marketing your

website once it is live. Because we offer bespoke development, we are extremely flexible.

The design process and build is split into 3 main stages:

Stage One - Initial Requirements Specification

Following an intial meeting to discuss the functionality and look and feel of the site, a detailed

specification and costing is produced for the client to review, amend and agree. The website

address (url) is agreed and registered and if required a holding page can be set up with the client's

basic details.

Stage Two - First page design

A small number of different sample pages are produced for review with the client. They are

intended to define the 'look and feel' of the site, as a website is often a personal matter and

individual preferences vary from client to client.

The initial set of designs is intended to identify the type of features which may then be refined into

an acceptable final design. Some clients may have a very clear idea about how their site should

look, whilst others have a total blank sheet and are open to a broad range of designs. Two rounds of

prototyping are included in the standard design package, which is generally adequate in most

situations. Appropriate search phrases (meta tags) are agreed so that the website will achieve a reasonable

position in the search engines for these phrases. Also at this stage, practicalities of the site are also

discussed, for example:



email addresses (of the format name@clientsite.co.uk)



amendment timetable for the website content and how changes will be implemented



identification and analysis of competitors' websites Stage Three - Build and Review

When an acceptable design has been agreed, the functionality is added, the system is tested and

optimised for search engines. At this point it is 'released' onto the desired web address (URL) and

made available to the general public.

Following Release

Following release, Butterfly web design will monitor and market the website, submitting to

appropriate directories and search engines. We will perform weekly monitoring of the website's

position and continually build links and submit the site to search engines and directories as part of

the monthly management service.
