So you have a
product or service to sell, and you want to do it online....
but don't know where to start. No problem! My firm has
been helping individuals and businesses set up e-Commerce
selling machines since 1996. We know all the ins and
outs from design, development, credit card acceptance and the
all important Internet Marketing Techniques that will
ultimately make your Internet business a
success. |
Having your product or service
upfront eliminates the need for niche research and cuts out many of
the initial steps necessary to set up your online business if you
didn't know what you were going to sell online.
The process would begin with a
business plan, and a flow-chart for your web site detailing how you
are going to market the product or service. I will work closely with
you to write the business plan (if you haven't already done this)
and flow chart the design for your website. I would basically
use these four simple steps in the design of your
website:
Clarify >>
Understanding your
business and your brand is the critical first step. I'll work
with you to clearly understand your immediate needs and long-term
goals, the competitive landscape, and your operating and technical
environments. We agree on your business objectives and create a
strategic plan of action. We also establish project scope, budget,
and a preliminary work plan. The Clarify Phase of the development
approach consists of all pre-sales efforts through the initial
project kickoff.
Architect >>
What will the solution be? Who will use it and how?
What will it do? How will it work? What will it look like? Once we
agree on project objectives, we define the functional, technical,
and creative requirements. We document them and work with you to
refine them. We also build a demo or prototype to test our
concept.
Design >>
Once structural basics are in place, we complete
information, interaction, and interface design. We develop content
and refine the technology architecture. The process is iterative,
and facilitated by our project extranet. The result is a working
prototype of the deliverable, ready for usability testing and
refinement.
Implement >>
We now build
the final product. If required, we integrate the solution with your
existing systems. We test and quality assure the deliverable and
make sure you understand how to manage and maintain it if
necessary.
Essentially, what that four step mumbo-jumbo means is
that I'll review every aspect of your business endeavor in detail
and clearly lay out a plan for the design of your website so
IT SELLS. There are millions of
business websites online trying to sell something and failing
miserably. Without a plan and implementation of the successful
and proven marketing strategies that I have used with my clients,
failure is eminent. I won't let this happen to you. My
methodology is clearly defined in my
philosophy for doing business with my
clients.
If
you have a product or service to sell, and you'd like to do it
online, I'm your man. I'll make it work for you and I'll
support you along the way for continued
success.
