PROCESS
We'd like to let you know what will be happening in the
process of working with us. We strive to "speak your language" and eliminate
using terminology that might be confusing. Our goal is to provide you
with Web site design, Web site development, a marketing campaign, an interactive
Flash component, identity development or branding. Whatever the project,
we will provide you with a successful solution and a pleasant working
relationship.
Once you contact us, we will follow these steps:
Phase I-Pre-Commission
- Step One-Discussion of Scope
If you have a project for which you are considering hiring Zone4media Group,
the first step is to have a brief Discussion of Scope with us regarding
your Web solution or printed materials to assure that we can meet your
needs. This Discussion can take place via phone or in person.
- Step Two-Request for Proposal
If we both agree to continue, we will ask you to provide us with a "Request
for Proposal" for the project. The information you provide to us
and our Discussion of Scope will be used to create the Proposal.
An exception to this process is if you just require a Rough Estimate
for your project. The Rough Estimate does not include any details or
descriptions, just a broad view of the project and the estimated price
of completion. A Rough Estimate can be provided within 24-48 hours.
- Step Three-Proposal Submission and Review
We will outline the Deliverables and their associated Fees, a Project
Summary and supporting materials in the proposal. After you review it,
we can schedule a time to clarify any concerns you may have. If necessary,
your modifications will be included in a revised proposal. This exchange
can happen once or several times.
- Step Four-Agreement Submission and Review
Once you have agreed to the terms in the proposal, we will submit our
agreement. You will have the chance to review and ask us questions about
anything that is unclear. If necessary, your modifications will be included
in a revised agreement. This exchange can happen once or several times.
- Step Five-Agreement Signing and Deposit
When you accept and sign the agreement, we will require a deposit to
start work. Then we will invoice you throughout the project according
to an agreed upon schedule of payments based on our project price.
Phase II-Commission
Congratulations! We are ready to work together on a project. Let's proceed
to Step One of the "real" work.
- Step One-Analysis
In the Analysis Phase, we will work with you to finalize the goals of
the project, then translate the goals into the various components of
the project within the estimated budget. To facilitate the process,
you should provide the following materials to us when available: project
specifications document, existing branding and marketing materials,
the marketing plan of the company and how this project fits into the
plan, and any existing photos, graphics or copy. We will assure that
you have the required materials prepared and that there are no surprises
anywhere in the process. When necessary, we will interview staff and
customers to assure that their needs are addressed.
- Step Two-Design
In the Design stage, we decide how your brand, content, required functions,
desired user experience and graphic components are expressed visually.
We will also consider how these components will function and be generated
in the Production and Development stage.
- Step Three-Production and Development
If we are working on a Web solution in the Product and Development stage,
all production, graphics, HTML coding and programming occurs. All Photoshop
documents are converted to graphics and then HTML coded. After this
phase is completed, you will see a working site. You can still make
text changes at this stage, but major design changes would be costly.
If we are working on a print project, the Production Stage includes
preparing files for pre-press, then sending files to the printer. We
will provide blueprints and match prints for your review, at which time
you will have the opportunity for last minute corrections.
- Step Four-Integration
The Integration Phase is only relevant to a Web project. During Integration,
both the front-end user interface and the back-end programming merge
to form the final site.
- Step Five-QA & Testing
For Web solutions, after the solution is integrated, we conduct Quality
Assurance testing on the site. We also test the site on various browsers
and Web connection speeds to ensure its reliability.
- Step Six-Deployment
Once the site is fully tested, we deploy it on the end system.
