Custom Website Workflow

If you are purchasing our Custom Design Services, you can expect the following:

This project will utilize web developers, designers and technicians from the United States. Estimated timeframe is 30 to 45 days from start to finish.

We have extensive experience using the both web design platforms, e-commerce software and Content Management Systems. We are highly proficient in cost-effective implementations using open source programming to meet the needs of our clients.

Web Design Phase

  • Phase 1 – Planning & Storyboarding
    As the basis for the future design of the site, we will provide the design concept to our client for comment, based on preliminary conversations with the client. Client will spend time evaluating the look/feel provided and give feedback for redesign if necessary. This preliminary design will become the basis of the site character. We anticipate this will take from 3 to 10 days based upon past experience. In most circumstances we create mockups within 90% of the specifications of our clients. Mockups cover home pages only as in general all site elements will follow style and design of the home page with variations of the design implemented site wide. We do not provide unlimited revisions like some designers in cheaper markets. We normally hit it on the first try but if not we will do an additional mockup. From the mockup most like what our customer wants, we will do revisions to this one design as many as 5 times.
  • Phase 2 – Site Preparation
    Client interaction is needed in this phase to provide documents and images for the site. In ecommerce site, a spreadsheet is required for any sites with over 10 products. Documents will be formatted in Word or other text processing software and delivered via email or uploaded to our easy to use project management system. If the site has existing documents and images we will either request logins and download such or obtain via html download. We do not crop images or create product images within the basic parameters of the design project unless it is stated on your agreement.
  • Phase 3 – Development, Editing & Changes and Testing
    Once the mockup is approved we proceeded to develop the site. This will include set up of hosting, if needed, and structure for new site. We will install CMS, Blog or other elements as quoted. After a joint review and edit of the new site, any and all necessary changes will be made. It is imperative to thoroughly check the site for such things as browser compatibility, broken hyperlinks, and errors in submit forms to make sure everything is working properly.
  • Phase 4 – e-Commerce elements.
    When eCommerce elements are present a spreadsheet of products is required. Site modules may cost additional and will be discussed with client as needed.
  • Phase 4- Delivery & Launch and Training.
    Once everything has been tested, we will turn the site live. When your agreement includes it, we will additionally provide written documentation on the process of adding content and products, adjusting inventory, processing orders, etc and will provide both written, verbal and in person training as required.

SCHEDULE

We anticipate that most sites can be set up in 7 to 45 days.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We work with our clients using secure software for easy to use to-do lists, galleries and project task lists. In addition all information is provided there and we can set multiple person access to the same project to expedite the progress and keep things as simple as possible for all parties.

Web Site Design Anatomy of a Web Page

There are many different types of pages for websites, some more complex than others. Here are two examples of web pages that vary from the simple to the extensive. You can clearly see (if you look) that both of these designs are “pretty” but one has more features and is thus a bit more expensive than the other one.

Basic Web Design:

anatomyofawebpage-simpleThis one is a simple site without a styled logo and with a basic left navigation. No mouseovers, no slides, no flash banners just simple text and some graphic elements. This type of design is a great startand can be modified later to enhance and improve it.


Premium Web Design:

This one has a styled logo, top header, flash images, styled left navigation, mutliple banners, etc. This is an example of premium design.

ASPRS Joomla Website Design

The ASPRS needed an updated website for a few reasons. First, they needed to be able to input new articles and posts regularly utilizing many different individuals to do so. Second, they needed a facelift. From a text based site to a new fancy design, overall the improvements to their site are extensive.

In addition to functionality and cosmetic changes, aGenius implemented an integrated login with Joomla for a SharePoint type database. The data to be integrated was coming from another database to provide authentication services. The IMIS association software is an associate management database that tracks members and provides structure to organizational data. This Joomla integration with IMIS is a one-of-a-kind solution that was programmed specifically for the ASPRS.

 

ASPRS PRESS RELEASE

The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) launched a new version of its website last week during the 2011 Annual Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The site has been completely overhauled and now uses an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) along with an iMIS membership database, to serve materials on the site.  The new site was streamlined to cut down on repetition, and tested to ensure that popular information was well labeled and easy to find.

ASPRS hired Suzanne Hallam of aGenius in California to redesign the ASPRS website and renovation began in October 2010, with beta testing performed by various segments of the ASPRS leadership prior to going live the last week in April 2011.  The Ad Hoc Website Redesign Committee was headed by Dave Kreighbaum, ASPRS Executive Committee member and National Director for the ASPRS St. Louis Region.  ASPRS Regions, Divisions and Committees are now able to manage their own sites and pages within the new ASPRS website with ease.

“The new website is easier on the eye and the larger buttons at the top make navigation much better,” remarked one conference attendee.  Visitors to the site will find information about submitting papers for peer review to PE&RS, Student information, individual pages for ASPRS future and past conference, plus back issues of PE&RS, ASPRS Region website links, and searches for ASPRS Sustaining Member Companies, Certified Professionals, and ASPRS Members.

 Founded in 1934, ASPRS is an international professional organization of 6,000 geospatial data professionals. ASPRS is devoted to advancing knowledge and improving understanding of the mapping sciences to promote responsible application of photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems and supporting technologies.
