DESIGN PROCESS
The following steps outline Raspberry Media’s design process from Needs Assessment
to Site Launch. For more information or questions please visit our Frequently
Asked Questions page.
| Step
1: |
|
| |
DISCOVERY AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
After the initial proposal has been delivered and the production agreement signed,
the Discovery Phase begins. Raspberry Media conducts research, competitive analyses,
and project review meetings to determine the specifications and technical requirements
for the project. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Step
2: |
|
| |
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE AND STRATEGY
Raspberry Media architects a site blueprint or prototype to ensure that all information
display, navigation links, and database applications are user-friendly. A password
protected project site is posted listing all design examples, prototypes, and
revisions for client review and sign-off. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Step
3: |
|
| |
CREATIVE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION
Working from a finished site blueprint, Raspberry Media presents several visual
design examples of the new homepage and sub-pages. After several revision rounds
a final design is selected for implementation. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Step
4: |
|
| |
SITE IMPLEMENTATION
After client sign-off on the final design, the implementation phase begins. Raspberry
Media creates custom master HTML template files for the site. All pages are compiled
and formated in HTML with appropriate content and other related media such as
Flash animation and streaming media. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Step
5: |
|
| |
USABILITY TESTING, QUALITY ASSURANCE, & SITE LAUNCH
After the site has been assembled and formatted, Raspberry Media conducts usability
testing to ensure ease of use and beta tests to ensure compatibility with all
major browsers and platforms. After testing, all final modifications, changes,
and bug fixes are executed prior to site launch. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Step
6: |
|
| |
POST LAUNCH TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND TRAINING
After site launch, master graphics and HTML files are provided to Clients for
future site maintenance and in-house modifications. Technical consultation and
training is provided depending on client needs. |
