The Process
There are several components of any successful website including compelling content, graphic design, programming (i.e. compatibility, performance, search engine friendliness, etc.), usability (i.e. how easy the site is to use, how easily you can find what you are looking for, etc.), maintainability, and overall user experience.
NetMusician employs several specialists in each of these respective areas, and teams you up with a professional graphic designer to help you come up with a site “template” (or basic design that is carried out across the entire site) that pleases you. Once you have approved the graphic design, we take care of pairing the design with your content, and installing the NetMusician Webkit which will allow you to maintain your website independently once the site has been made live. The NetMusician Webkit supports integration with social networks such as Twitter and Facebook so that some of the content you post there can automatically be featured on your NetMusician site. Throughout this process we will test your site so that it works well with the major search engines, looks consistent across all major web browsers, is optimized for performance, and is designed to “scale” to provide you with room to grow as you add new content. Additionally, we will suggest usability enhancements to go along with your content and help enhance the overall experience of visiting your site.
The amount of time this process takes varies greatly from site to site and also depends on the state of your content you provide us with. To prevent delay, please read the next section which details how you can prepare yourself for the creation of your site, and what you need to get started…
