Over the last couple months, we’ve written blog posts about our wireframe and sitemap processes to further educate our audience about web design and more specifically how we operate. Today, we’d like to share with you another
peak behind the curtain moment in the life of our projects – our own web design approval and change-order process. This post is primarily for our existing clients that are, or are about to, go through our design and
development process, but we’ve decided to be completely transparent to the world in how we operate as we feel
we’ve changed “web design” and the Digital Agency process and would like everyone to know how amazing this
experience can be to go through.
Let’s get a couple definitions out of the way:
l Atilus Kick-Off Meeting – A large meeting between our team and our clients’ team to discuss their project. Generally happens after all
agreements are in place.
l Scope Creep – Scope refers to all of the elements of a project. On most projects we spend roughly 10 – 20 hours before actually starting work so that there’s a clear understanding of what your project entails. Scope creep refers to anything outside of that.
l Change-Order – A request for something outside of what was discussed, and the process (and sometimes costs) that entails.
l Sitemap – An outline of the pages and sections of your site.
l Wireframe – Initial blueprint of the website.
