The first step towards a successful website is knowing why it is being built. What will it do for you? How will it help you meet the needs of your business and your customers? Clearly identifying these requirements ensures a project plan geared towards your objectives.

BUILD - Site Development

Here the work begins in earnest. Hosting accounts are configured,code is written, images are uploaded, email accounts created, and the project plan is implemented to get your website up and running according to your requirements.

PLAN - Get S.M.A.R.T.

Planning is the key to any successful website launch and that's done by defining SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) goals and objectives. This is crucial to ensuring that all activities are directly aligned with your requirements.
