Phase 1 – PLANNING

  • Requirement Analysis – we analyze your submitted brief or summary of web requirements including purpose of website, company goals, target website audience, type of website to be built and target website keywords.
  • Proposal review – a detailed proposal will be submitted by 3mpStudio based on your web requirements that can be subject for revision or approval.
  • Project Charter and Sitemap – the project charter consists of a non-technical list of things we will do during the project development but lesser words than the proposal. This document serves as your guide and reference too. A sitemap will be generated as a reference for website creation and will be served with the Project Charter.
  • Contract signing – upon approval of the proposal and sitemap, the project will commence after the contract and initial payment has been fulfilled.
    • Initial payment – 1/2 of the total cost
  • Server authorization – you will need to authorize 3mpStudio access to your web servers if not hosted with us. Typical information to obtain and validate includes FTP host, username and password; control panel log-in information; database configuration; and any languages or frameworks currently installed.
  • Determine additional technology, software and resources (stock photography, fonts, etc.)
