listed below is a summary of the steps involved in website development with impact web services. these steps are handled quickly and efficiently to move the project along at a steady and desiable pace. discovery the goal of the discovery phase is to reach agreement on the project scope, priorities and timeline. much of this phase is spent gathering information through our interview process and building a shared vision between the client team and impact web services. planning the planning phase will allow us to develop a schedule, cost estimate and basic design elements. the planning phase is a mixture of brainstorming, research and conceptual design work. design the design phase is to explore creative options for building the application you have envisioned and bring them to life. this phase culminiates in a client approved prototype application. production the goal of the production phase is to build the solution described in the project planning phase and merge that with the creative design implemented in the design phase. the production phase is a technology implementation phase. it begins with programming, scripting, and database construction as well as graphic design and layout. this phase ends with a tested project, complete with content. the client will issue his/her approval of the project after all issues are resolved and the project is complete. deployment in the deployment phase we migrate the developed site to a live server. we will also handle domain name registration if necessary. the deployment phase will include training if necessary. support we feel that the longer the useful life of the project after initial deployment, the more the client will appreciate a development company that offers follow-on services. to meet this need we offer site care service agreements to keep your site fresh and up to date.
