Implementation is all about bringing together the different elements that make up your web site. It is important that we detail this stage of the development process so that you understand our method of developing web projects.

We like to call it "putting the face on the site". We typically build web sites from the ground up, this means we start out with the 'raw' data and develop the various elements that make up your site. The 'raw' data often takes many different forms, while no two web sites are exactly the same you can often group the different elements as follows:

• Generic site content, this might include:
• textual information about your company, product/service or just information about the web site
• forms that allow users to interact or communicate with you
• images or artwork that are relevant to the web site
• links to other web sites or references of interest to the user
• Site design, this might include:
• artwork, logo's etc. that make up the identity of the web site/organization
• site style, this is where we set the font and colour schemes to be used throughout the site
• navigation system, the means by which people will access the different areas of your site
• Technical elements, this might include:
• online order processing
• scripts that process information
• scripts that may interact with internal systems, ie stock control or order status
• generally speaking, technical elements cover any aspect of your web site that needs to 'process' information in any way

During the development cycle of your web project, each of the above stages can take place at the same time. In other words they don't necessarily rely on each other to be completed before we move on to another stage.

Once all of the stages are complete, the implementation phase brings together all of the different elements to actually make your web site look and act like a web site.
