Why a web site?

There are many reasons why the creation of a web site may be an appropriate endeavor for an individual or an organization. The decision to investigate these reasons can be aided by contacting Man-On-the-Moon Productions and discussing your needs with us. We will work to understand your needs and help establish the goals of your web site and the identity that you wish to project.

The design process

The design of a web site essentially begins with the initial discussions of your site. We collaborate with you to plan how visitors navigate through your site, establish a sound site layout and structure, and develop an appropriate visual identity. We outline the steps involved in planning and designing a site, researching and registering a domain name, and hosting the web site. This gives you an overview of the process and helps you organize and plan the essential information you want to appear on your site.

In the course of the site planning process, we will develop and present several site map layouts and design mockups that demonstrate how the site could be structured and navigated. As these schemes are reviewed and refined, revisions are made until a satisfactory site structure concept is achieved. Concurrently, design mockups for individual page are developed and presented that display various possible visual themes. As with the site structure concept, modifications or new designs are created until a final design concept is selected.

Design implementation

The process of implementing the design involves close coordination of incorporating the information appropriate for your site. If you do not already have a registered domain name, we can assist in registering one for you at a highly competitive rate. In some cases, it is desirable to have multiple domain names to ensure the integrity of your online presence. Periodic presentations of the site under implementation allows you to review the site as it reaches full functionality. This is conducted in a staging area on the web at a host server site that we can help set up for you. Once the site implementation is completed, you have the opportunity to review the site thoroughly and any last minute revisions that need to be made are done at this time.

Site launch

Once the site has been reviewed, tested, and final modifications are made and re-tested, the site is ready to be launched under its domain name. It is an exciting time as all the hard work and planning finally comes to fruition. But the work is not truly done; audiences today expect a web site to remain current and evolve, otherwise a site loses it relevance. Over time, many new web site owners are surprised at the increasing number of ways they can expound upon their web site's goals once the site is online. Through their own research and feedback from visitors, owners discover new missions and the means to implement them. We like to inform clients that their sites can be living entities, in that they can reflect the development of their business or creative aspirations. In that respect we can continue to assist you in maintaining and expanding your site through our site maintenance plans.
