DeVore Technologies

Definition of how DeVore approaches web design:
Form Follows 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.

Due to the fact that some web design companies do not understand the function of a Web site, they make wrong decisions about its form. More than once we have encountered “designers” whose web work was mediocre at best, and who showed a blatant disregard for the Internet as an integrated business processes medium.

DeVore’s web designs exhibit clarity, organization and expression to connect with your audience.
If you are building an e-commerce site, an online magazine, an extranet or a static site, your organization needs web site design that is intuitive, informative and efficient.

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

DeVore uses the following process for developing a website 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 will 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 pages of the site.

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 site after it has been completely assembled and revised. Testing is completed in the two most recent versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer. Additional browser testing is available.

Phase 6—Launch
After the site is live, management of site content will be completed by DeVore at the request of the client. Every site has different content management needs. These needs will be defined at the initiation of the Planning Phase and a site 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 web presence is professional and relevant.
