Website design and development

Kite Communications helps you walk through the key steps in the creation of your new web site design. From gathering initial information, to the launching your new site, and maintaining your site to keep you completely digital-savvy and current:

1. Gathering Information
   Evaluate purpose, goals and audience for your site and specify content
2. Planning and Navigation
   Produce site map list with main topic and sub-topics, including technologies to integrate, such as interactive forms, ecommerce, flash, javascript.
3. Design
   Create one or more prototype designs to support your branding, match your needs and taste..
4. Development
   The developmental stage is where the site is created, using the individual elements from the prototype to deliver functionality, branching out from the home page, populating the site navigational structure with content. That means on the technical front writing valid XHTML / CSS code that complies to current web standards, maximising functionality and accessibility for all end users.
5. Testing and Delivery
   Final details and site functionality testing of forms or scripts, and compatibility issues for different web browsers. Kite Communications website team understands current standards for web site design and development including valid code checks so your site meets current web development standards. Kite will upload your site, offer domain name registration and web hosting..
6. Going Live
   This marks the official launch of your site, as it is now viewable to the public.
   Often in conjunction with our PR service Kite will officially launch your site for maximum impact.
7. Maintenance
   The development of your website means providing new content or products on a regular basis. Kite works with you to provide fresh updates or if you prefer to update your own content we can provide a CMS (Content Management System) at the outset.
   
   Other maintenance includes SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SES (Search Engine Submission), optimising your site with elements such as title, description and keyword tags for higher search engine ranking.
