Building Your Site
How we build your website
PlexityNet has developed a methodology that is specifically designed to ensure that projects undertaken are completed on-time and to the stated budget while ensuring a quality outcome. Below we have a brief overview of this process
Client Information gathering
Initially, for you, PlexityNet conducts a comprehensive analysis of your requirements, if you have an existing site it is evaluated. What information or product/service is to be marketed? Who is your target audience, who is your competition? Together we analyse the information gathering to ensure that our proposed strategy will identify and meet your business objectives and that the site will reflect the business goals you have set.
Site Design (look and feel)
This is an interactive phase of the methodology requiring close communication with you to decide on the design specifications of the site. Sample designs will be created to allow evaluation of different possibilities for the look and feel of the site. Outcome of which will be a visual representation, placed up on the web, for you to view, of what the site will look like on completion.
Site Development.
Once your approval is received for the design of the web site structure and "the look and feel", we moves into the development phase where PlexityNet begins the site creation. PlexityNet throughout the process conducts usability tests to ensure that the design is consistent with your requirements.
The Software we use
Drupal is released under a license call the GNU General Public License. Very simply, this license protects and empowers the software that will drive your new web site because it is owned by the general public and free to be examined and altered at all levels. Drupal can be truly understood and implemented by web developers because they not only have access to the code at its source, but are also free to modify and enhance it. This allows us at PlexityNet to modify the programme to make it do anything that you or your business require. Drupal has been developed from the start with the idea of flexibility in mind. This means from the inherent flexibility of its very license to flexibility in function and design.
Most people have an idea of what they would like their website to do. That is why they are looking for a website or a website upgrade in the first place. Many of our client have come to us with lots of ideas. They usually walk away with a lot more ideas after we have explained what we can achieve with the customisation of this powerful content management system
The principal behind what makes Drupal so powerful is the Drupal community. They are dedicated people who love what they do so they are constantly working on Drupal development. They knows what people need for their websites. They are not employees designing an abstract system. They are people who have websites themselves. They are people who are actively improving the software to suit their needs then sharing it with the rest of the world
As a website owner you most likely have a general idea about what you want your website to do now, but there are almost certainly things you'll want or need in a year or two that you don't need now. Planning for something you don't know you want or need is quite nearly impossible. However Drupal can help with this! Not just the software but the greater Drupal community that is constantly and consistently upgrading, patching, searching for new concepts and ideas to integrate, implementing new modules for the latest and most desirable features on the web.
Site launch
Prior to launching your website, any last minute changes and tests are performed to assist in measuring user satisfaction, as well as benchmarking performance for future improvements.
Measurement and improvement
After the site has been deployed, PlexityNet will maintain a monitoring service. We will view the site statistics analyses the data and send you an email on ways we feel you could improve the traffic flow to your site. These solutions are very often something you can do yourself, such as form more links or enrich the content, This will not require further financial commitment on your part.
Maintenance
PlexityNet also provides ongoing service maintenance to its clients. Maintenance typically covers the completion of small site enhancements and the resolution of system issues. Upgrades, security issues, site enhancements are carried out seamlessly without any interruption to your site. It is part of the service contract we enter into with you.
