There are, of course, a gazillion other good reasons why Umbraco is the best choice for your CMS and you can read about some of them in our blog post…
“10 reasons why an Umbraco CMS is crucial to your business website”.
Umbraco Web Development Process
By the way, we’re not just any old Umbraco web development agency, no sirree, we’re a bona fide Umbraco Certified Partner.
“Whoopee-do”, we hear you cry, “so what?”
Well, being a Certified Umbraco Partner is, essentially, your guarantee that we’re an Umbraco web design agency that knows our stuff when it comes to the Umbraco CMS and Umbraco web design. We’ve got the experience, passed the demanding training and got the certificate to prove it. Find out more about our Umbraco websites here.
So, to the web development process itself.
After we’ve finalised requirements with you, we’ll split your Umbraco web development project into the following phases:
Phase 1: User experience (UE) and design
Wireframing (skeletal designs for working out the best user journeys).
Homepage concept design.
Sub-page design.
How your pages will look and work on mobile.
We’ll make amendments throughout this phase based on your feedback.
Phase 2: User interface (UI) development
HTML template/stylesheet creation, JavaScript components.
Mobile-responsive pages are built, based on the Phase 1 designs.
Phase 3: Umbraco CMS integration
Set-up of your new hosted Umbraco CMS instance.
Integration of your site’s UI and style templates into Umbraco.
Phase 4: Bespoke back-end development
Integration of Umbraco Forms and set-up of your lead generation and contact forms.
Any business-specific functionality you require e.g. integration with feeds, APIs etc.
Phase 5: Testing and quality assurance
Functionality testing.
Mobile-responsive design testing.
Cross-browser compatibility.
Your website is put on a test server, so you can carry out User Acceptance Testing (UAT) – i.e. test the site to make sure it looks and works as agreed.
Phase 6: Go live and deployment
Server environment setup.
Publish to live environment.
Final functionality testing.
Start-up package…
