Our Process
At SonomaCreative, we realize that there is more to a web site than a nice color scheme and flashy buttons. That's why we strive to make every site a productive tool designed around the needs of your business.
Let's Talk
The first step is a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals and how we can use the power of the Internet to improve your company's presence, reach and bottom line.
A Well-Thought Plan
In order to drive a project on time and under budget, it is imperative that it be well-organized before the first line of code is written.
Using time lines, project plans, site maps, business requirements and technical documentation, we ensure that every phase of the project is thoroughly discussed. Our goals with each site we create are to come in on-budget, ahead of time and with features, functions and a seamless process that exceeds your expectations.
Design Studs
We match the right people for the job. That's why we partner with professional, experienced graphic artists on all of our projects. Graphic art and solving aesthetic problems is all they do and we work with these super-talented individuals to develop a site map and user interface to match the message you want to convey to your target audience.
Keeping it Clean
What you don't know and can't see can hurt you. Search engines and web browsers are fussy. If you use "out of the box" products like Dreamweaver or Frontpage to create code, chances are, you will have a lot of messy code that can alter the way your site looks and affect your ranking on search engines.
All of our pages are hand-coded to ensure maximum reliability across all platforms and browsers. We test our code across both PC and Mac platforms with browsers representing 98% of Internet usage.
