Web Design and Development

The Web Design Process

1- Call or submit an online request for service. This will give us a general idea of your needs and basic project requirements.

2- A consultation is arranged at our Orlando office, or over the phone. This is where we disuss specific goals, features, elements, and detailed project requirements.

3- A proposal is developed based on time, cost, and resources needed to bring your project to life. A Statement of Work (SOW) is prepared to finalize your project's details.

4- Design of your website begins. Your initial mockup is designed and customized entirely to fit for your business based on strategic formatting and structuring.

5- Markup & Development is proceeded once the overall website's design meets your satisfaction. We then provide a link for you to watch your website begin to grow.

6- Hands on Training We leave you feeling warm and fuzzy by providing you documentation on how to update and maintain your own website, and we're always there for support!

Joomla!

Joomla CMS is a high-end content management system that allows you, the client, to publish content to your website, without needing to know HTML. The system accommodates many features, including blog posts, searches, and easily-adaptable components to enhance the overall functionality of your website. Joomla is our preferred CMS for mid-large projects.

Wordpress

Wordpress is a blogging platform that can be utilized for CMS purposes of editing and maintaining your website. Although Wordpress was structurally designed for blogs, it has grown into a more popular CMS for small-mid sized projects that update content frequently.

Drupal

Drupal is a similar CMS software to Joomla for updating the content of your website with little HTML or technical knowledge necessary. This is another open-source CMS that allows for a back-end access to manage and control your website's content, articles, and images.

Cushy CMS

Cushy CMS is a very lightweight and scalable CMS platform. We utilize this for clients looking to update content and some images on a very small scale. Although it is a powerful CMS, we primarily use Cushy for small projects.

CMS Made Simple

CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) is another lightweight CMS that has become very popular recently because of its scalability and additional features / components. CMSMS is a great solution for small-mid size projects looking to edit content, images, and links between pages.

Start Your Own Online Store TODAY!

Ready to sell your wares online? There's no better time to start an online store than now! A 2008 e-tail survey estimated that nearly half (49%) of shoppers intend to do their holiday gift buying online versus in-store. Designzillas can help you create and easily maintain a safe and secure online store for your products and services. Visit our Portfolios to see examples of e commerce pages we have created for clients in the past.

How Your Store is Created

1. Website - First we design a custom e commerce website for your business, which includes an online catalog database to hold all of your products and descriptions, and a shopping cart to enable online shopping.

2. Merchant Account - We establish a secure account between you (the retailer) and a merchant bank equipped to accept web-based credit card payments from online buyers. This account is where all online deposits will be made.

3. E-Commerce CMS - We utilize a wide selection of e-commerce and online store management software to make adding products, managing orders, tracking shipments, and generating reports quick and easy. We specialize in OsCommerce, Magento, Zencart, and Virtuemart shopping carts.

4. SSL Certificate - For online businesses, security has become an issue of vital importance. Internet sales increase each year but consumer fear still holds back millions of potential shoppers from purchasing online. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology ensures protection of your financial information by encrypting the information sent to and from the server.

Let your Website come to Life!

Flash is the icing on a website's cake. Flash adds an additional dimension of movement to your website, making the whole page appear more fluid and alive. This increases overall aesthetic appeal and the professional appearance. Check out our Flash Portfolio for examples.

Flash Intro

A Flash Intro is a dynamic introduction screen that welcomes users to your website. Typical features of a basic Flash Intro include a welcome message, a dynamic graphic, and an "Enter" link. As the gateway to your webpage, Flash Intros can set the tone for your entire website as lively and professional. Click here for examples of Flash Intro we've built.

Flash Components

Would you like specific components of your website to be interactive? Do you need components developed in Flash? Custom photo gallery, animated videos, headers, or transitions? Want a completely fresh way of presenting them in a fun and interactive way? We can help. Examples: flash banners (a dynamic header at the top of your page), transitions, or other site-specific flash components (e.g. the UCF Arena Seating Map).

Full Flash Website

A Full Flash Website is a website where every element is programmed in Flash, as opposed to only specific components. This essentially adds a lot of flare to your website, making transitions and graphics more alive. This is something that utilizes a lot of animations, transitions, moving graphics. Example of a Full Flash Website we've done.
