Ideas
At this stage we are looking to develop your requirements and identify your underlying long term and short term goals. Here we will support you to understand some of the steps needed to express your ideas on the web. We will show you how developing a website can have more possibilities than in the past.
Look at the above possible requirements and think about your ideas and how they work together. Here are some questions that might help. These are on the submission form at the end.

Initially we will need to know your requirements.
These help you to express your requirements and identify your underlying long term and short term goals that we would design a website that meets your needs. Once we have a solid understanding of these, we will be in the position to determine the most suitable web solutions. We go through this process to ensure your requirements are properly documented before the design stage starts.

The Walk though process provides us with understanding of the technical and creative requirements for your new website. We will base a template for your website on this information. This will be discussed with you for your feedback and comments. Once you have reviewed the website layout, we will implement any final round of revisions before presenting the design for final approval. IGL believe that keeping you closely involved in the creative process will support the website to reflect all of your requirements.

The development phase involves converting the approved layouts into an operational website. Once the basic website framework has been established and reviewed, our developers will begin integrating the additional components you have selected (e.g Ecommerce, product catalogue, photo gallery, forum etc...). This stage is tightly intertwined with the Design stage and can overlap. While your website is under constrution, we can create a holding page (on request) that displays your basic contact information. Content is undoubtedly the most important part of a website. Well worded content not only informs and educates readers but promotes business as well. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is that the content comes across professionally written and to the point. Don’t create 'filler' content. Plan your content as you planned your site. When writing, be direct and to the point. Use short sentences if necessary. If you aren’t confident writing and can budget for it, have a professional copywriter tidy it all up. A website's content can date very quickly so it’s important to keep it fresh and updated. Having a Content Management System (CMS),like we use, makes it easy for the everyday person without HTML or programming skills to edit and maintain all areas of the website. IGL gives businesses or individuals a website that they can maintain themselves and keep fresh.

Once you have approved the final website, your new website will Go Live and be handed over to you. We will assist you with the initial technical or operational problems you may encounter, and support you with the support package you chose.

Interactivity is the goal. People visiting your site and
using it the way you want them to. This interactivity will look differently for
every different site, depending on its design and purpose. This is the whole reason
for doing this walk through.
