Step 1 - Initial Consultation and Proposal
Information is collected and analysed in this phase. The project team identifies objectives and considers them in the context of practical parameters such as the budget and time frame. The scope and depth of the project begins to materialize during this phase and a cost proposal is presented.

Step 2 - Site Planning and Architecture
The information and materials collected from the client are organized by level of priority. This is where the structure begins to take shape and a prototype is created. Most visitors to a Website are looking for information. That information must be easily accessible.

Define the navigation & flow of the information.
Identify resources required for the project.
Decide on the site's overall concept and layout.

Step 3 - Design and Implementation
In this phase, the project takes on form in colours, shapes, and other visual or textual elements, that bridge the parts of the project developed in the definition and architecture phases. In this phase the project acquires a look and feel. In this step the creativity that gives the project its personality is employed. This is also where the visual metaphors that support and enhance the architecture of the information are devised. Once the navigation and design prototype is approved the site moves into production. All of the sections are constructed and the content is added as well as any necessary programming or enhancements.

Decide upon the overall look and feel of the Web site.
Format provided materials for use on the Web.
Implement colour palettes, photographs, illustrations, fonts and any necessary materials.
Implement the design as specified in the design and architecture phases.

Step 4 - Testing and Analysis
When the production of the site is complete it is place on the Web in a password protected "client testing" directory. During this phase Knight Web Services® Inc. will meticulously proof read the site to insure all interactive components are working properly. In addition Knight Web Services® Inc. will test the site on multiple platforms using different Web browsers, resolutions, colour depths and connection rates ensuring that the final product is accessible to the widest range of Internet users. Any inconsistencies and errors will be corrected at this time.
