DeVore Technologies

Our processs for creating successful applications is rooted in the fundamental concept of "Form following function". The basic rule for any design is "Form follows function." If an object has to perform a certain function, its design must support that function to the fullest extent possible. Our years of project management and client engagements have given us the opportunity to define development and polices and guidelines that drive project success.

It has been our experience that many design companies do not realize or understand the basic function of a web site or a desktop application's full capacity, and sometimes they make wrong decisions about its form. More than once we have encountered "designers" whose delivered project was mediocre at best, and who showed a blatant disregard for the Internet as an integrated business processes medium.

Our web designs and application solutions exhibit clarity, organization and expression to connect with your audience. If you are building an e-commerce site, an online magazine, an extranet or even an Excel reporting tool, your organization needs a design and function that is intuitive, informative and efficient.

It's not enough to design a visually pleasing site or application. Today's client demands superior solutions in a forum that allows for the development of extended customer relations - cultivated over a period of time. DeVore is fully versed in web standards, application deployment and best design practices - we always strive for quick downloads, easy navigation, optimized coding and most of all…consistency.

DeVore uses the following process for developing web and desktop applications that will be reflective of your goals and message.

Phase 1—Planning
DeVore plans the site organization with you. This is where we define the types of functionalities you need to have built into the site. You may create the copy, or work with one of our content specialists.

Phase 2—Design
DeVore will provide you with 2-3 graphical concepts that illustrate the "site look" —the basic navigation and design scheme that will remain the same across all of the pages of the site or application.

Phase 3—Development
We will create the structure of the site with all functionalities in place, specifically any database functionalities, independent of final textual or marketing content.

Phase 4—Implementation
The text and local images for the site are placed into the page template and formatted. We will then go through revisions for client-requested changes during this phase, so you can make text edits and corrections.

Phase 5—Testing
Though basic testing of the site takes place in phases 3 and 4, We test the application after it has been completely assembled and revised. Testing is completed in the two most recent versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer and or operating systems. Additional browser and OS testing is available.

Phase 6—Launch
After the site or application is delivered, management of site content will be completed by DeVore at the request of the client. Every project has different content management needs. These needs will be defined at the initiation of the planning phase and a maintenance agreement will be reached. It is DeVore's goal to make these tasks as cost effective and timely as possible, and works with every client to ensure that their project is professional and relevant.
