Our Process  

Over 10 years. That's how long we've been forging successful client partnerships and refining our methods to deliver the best websites and the best service. In that time, we've defined an effective process that keeps our clients informed and the project on track at all times.

While the prospect may seem overwhelming at first, BIS will show you there's no mystery to building a great application or website. It's all in identifying the details and turning them into manageable tasks and deliverables. With our refined web development and design process, you'll get exactly what you want, with no pressure and no surprises.

  • Needs assessment: We listen. Our goal is to understand and clarify your needs and translate them into a document that will be the basis to develop your application or site.
  • Functionality requirements:  Based on the needs assessment, we create functionality specifications outlining your tools and what they will do.
  • Information architecture:  The usability designers will develop the information architecture and navigational structure model to ensure the application or site is both organized and intuitive.
  • Creative brief:  These documents detail the creative goals of your project.
  • Website design:  Graphic designers will lay out the Home page and an interior page in a graphical format to give you a "snapshot" of the site. View examples in a PDF.
  • Storyboarding:  The remaining page designs are presented to you in a graphical "storyboard" format.
  • Database Schema:  Based on the information architecture, design, and storyboards, the database schema will be created.
  • Development & coding:  This is where it all comes together. BIS developers handle the application and database development per the specification of the project.
  • Internal testing:  BIS applies our quality assurance process to fully test the site.
  • Training:  BIS supplies training documents and provides one-on-one training with your site administrators to ensure they understand the new application.
  • Application launch:  This is the most exciting part of the project -- when your application or site goes live. BIS has developed guidelines to make sure this process is smooth.
  • External testing: After your site is on a live server, BIS applies our quality assurance process again.
  • Monitoring:  BIS will continue to look for ways to enhance your application so it keeps pace with your business' growth.
