Web Design and Development Process

Your website should tell who you are (your story, your brand, your product, your personality). After all, this will become the worlds window to you ... and you only get one chance to make that first impression. You want your site to be original, professional and appealing to your target audience. You want a site that gets their attention and keeps them coming back!

Web development is the process of taking your site from conception to completion and consists of the following steps:

Brainstorming gives us a chance to sit down with you and gain an understanding of yourself, your business, and exactly what you are looking for in a website. This step in the process also gives us a chance to inform you about what to expect from us in the days to come.

Designing consists of creating the visual representation of your website, showing how the different elements (i.e., text, forms, pictures,buttons) will all fit together. This is another step in the process where your prompt input is invaluable since we will be sending layouts to you for approval.

Programming is the heart of your website and can make or break a project. This step typically includes any Clientside(JavaScript), Serverside(PHP), or Database(MySQL) programming. Because technology updates so frequently, we task our programmers with staying up-to-date on the latest code and standards. With our programming capabilities, your sites' functionality is only limited by your imagination.

Testing your website allows us to make sure that all of the code we have written is working correctly.

Critiquing your website involves a “before launch” checklist that we run through, making sure that your site is ready for the search-engines and free of grammatical errors. During this step in the process, we will be communicating with you frequently to make sure that happy with everything thus far.

Launching is what we are all working towards. It is the day that you get to see your website go live on the Internet and we get to see the smile of satisfaction on your face.

Work with a local company that is fully-staffed!

You would be surprised to know that many Hampton Roads Web Design Companies outsource a majority of their web design work. This means that your project is being put in the hands of someone who is possibly sitting on the other side of the world. While there are many talented individuals working outside of our country, it is difficult to manage a project when your staff is spread across hundreds, possibly thousands, of miles.

We do not outsource any of our work!

Fat Lynx Media is fully staffed to handle any project that comes through our doors. We have at our disposal, talented designers and programmers who are eager to take on any project that you send their way!

If your website will include a shopping cart, will display large amounts of tabular data (i.e., inventories or specs), or needs an administration section for easy editing, it is vital that you have a place to store information and this is where a database will come into play.

Whether you have 200 or 20,000 products, we can design and build a database solution to suite the needs of any business. Is all of your data in spreadsheets? No problem! We have developed scripts to transfer data directly from your spreadsheet, into your websites' database.
