Web Design

The right web designers and developers can open up new doorways to better online management, communication and profitability.

With over 10 years of experience in web design and development, we understand common pitfalls on the Web, and how to overcome them. Plus, thanks to our Hoolahoop™ Content Management System (CMS), you can add, edit and delete content and images on your shopping cart, photo gallery, catalogue or anywhere on your website quickly and with ease.

The time-consuming task of maintaining a website becomes a simple point and click experience that can be accomplished in-house by your staff with little or no computer experience.

This, combined with our web designers’ strategic designs, ensures your visitors enjoy a positive online experience, which ultimately benefits your organization.

Our 8-Step Web Development Plan

Every Circle Graphics project starts with collective planning, brainstorming and research. Our 8-step web development process allows us to build you an effective website by outlining each phase of your site, from planning to launch.

1. The plan
Our first step is to generate a complete project description, including a list of what is desired. All goals, visual ideas and functions of the project are discussed. A site map or job outline is developed early on to determine the appropriate navigation structure and any necessary media requirements.

2. Concept phase
Once the outline is established, our web developers and designers gather any media items (such as photos, logos and graphics) and create a set of conceptual designs. These provide a number of different approaches to the design and navigation of the website, and are presented as static images.

3. Production
Once a creative direction has been determined, our web developers and designers create a working model. The core interface is formatted and the site becomes interactive. The navigation takes shape and any interactive features are finalized and implemented. Templates are finalized for the data-driven sections and the website is put onto a working server for review.

4. Formatting
All information outside of dynamic data-driven pages are added, including contact forms, static content and images.

5. Database Development & Programming
If a dynamic database is required, our web developers apply backend programming and administrative features to your new website design.

6. Testing
Before your site goes live, our team of web developers test all aspects of your website to ensure proper functionality and navigation.

7. The Launch
Upon final revisions and approvals, your website is officially launched.

8. Marketing
Circle ensures all pages, content, keywords and meta tags are optimized for search engines. Registration is done on all major search engines and directories, and evaluated after 30 days using search engine optimization (SEO) software. Positioning can then be adjusted as required.
