Web Site Development - Our Boston Web Design Firm Provides Expert Web Development Services
Web development is a term that is narrowly defined by industry professionals as any activity not directly related to pure design, such as writing markup or code. Within the lay community, however, the term Web development implies a wider scope of Web related activities. Combining both definitions, from the creation of the simplest, single static page of ordinary text to the most sophisticated electronic business or social network services, Web development is the umbrella term that covers it all. AQ Websites (Affordable Quality Websites) and Web Development in Boston During the Web development phase of a design project, we begin with the build out of the entire website site map on a management platform, which includes placement of images, text, testimonials, forms, and links. We ask our clients to provide us with photographs and/or product images, as well as any specialized graphics that have been specified. Depending on the delivery schedule of the client-supplied materials, the Web development phase will generally take 4 to 6 weeks to complete. With respect to content (text), our Boston based firm offers copywriting services, including search engine optimization (SEO) copywriting to those clients who require this resource. SEO falls under the broad canopy of Web development, and you can learn more about this organic marketing strategy via the link above. Other aspects of the Web development process include: e-Commerce: e-Commerce is a term that refers to the selling of products or services over the Web, and the internet marketing specialists at AQ Websites design and develop sales-centric websites that are high geared to meet the challenges of e-Commerce head on. Our Boston internet specialists create dynamic, exciting, and easy to use websites that convert Web searches into e-Commerce sales.
Web Hosting: During the website design and development process, AQ Websites will establish for the client a Web hosting service. Due to the highly competitive nature of the Web hosting industry, as well as the smaller size of our firm, AQ Websites has partnered with MA WebCenters, an international technology company that currently hosts over 200,000 websites worldwide. MA WebCenters offers state of the art hosting and security services, as well as unlimited toll free customer support. As a related service, AQ Websites will assist a client with maintaining their existing email address, as well as establishing a free, host supplied domain name email.
Website Final Review & Launch: During the final stage of the design and development process, AQ Websites and the client will preview the website live on the internet through the use of a temporary link. This preview provides all parties with an opportunity to judge the website’s design appeal, navigation tools, and overall ease of use. As stated elsewhere on this website, the final design is by the client—our Boston website design and development firm is committed to unsurpassed customer service and satisfaction, which means if something isn’t right, we’ll fix it.
Subsequent to the client’s final approval, we will effect a link to the chosen domain name for the new website, and once final payment has been made, the website is launched to the Worldwide Web. Our Boston Firm Offers Extended Website Maintenance AQ Websites, Inc. agrees to provide no-cost website service maintenance for a period of 30 days subsequent to the website’s completion date.
