Custom Prototype

The next step in our process is to create your site on paper. No different than an architect creating blueprints, we create a “blueprint” of your site. The typical prototype is around 15-20 pages, but can be over 100! The Scope & Requirements document we deliver covers:

the goal of the site (both for you and your customers)
the design (graphic) of the site
the sitemap (skeleton) of the site
content that we will develop & content we expect delivered
tentative development dates
cost estimate
special requirements/requests

Once we deliver the document, there is a review process, where changes can be made, and then once everyone signs off on it. We will start building!

Frequently Asked Questions about the Custom Prototype:

Do you charge for this process.: There is typically a flat rate charge for development of the prototype. The rate is dependent upon how complicated the prototype will be. The fee will be settled at the initial interview.
What do you mean by Scope & Requirements?: This is a technical term from the industry, that basically means what we will do (scope) and what the customer expects (requirements). We go a step further, and include site designs and cost analysis.
Once we commit to this, is it set in stone?: Barring anything drastic, it is. If you decide to make a change after the prototype has been approved, it will need to be tabled for after the site is finished. That is why we strongly advise taking time to review the prototype before approving it.
