Getting these pieces to operate properly takes a little more skill than setting up a simple homepage.
The project begins with our discovery worksheets. These allow you to tell us exactly what your new author website should accomplish and all of your preferences. We’ll determine what content you need and schedule delivery. You’ll start receiving our educational tutorials, which will help you be ready to launch your author website as soon as it’s available.
Once we’re confident that we understand your demands from the exploration phase, we’ll go deep into the project, studying your requirements and selecting the best solutions. We’ll assemble a plan, suggest key assets, and present it all for discussion and approval.
The fun can begin with an agreed-upon plan for your new author website. We’ll get started on your author website design, and you’ll be able to see a mockup of your homepage as well as an interior page. We’ll tweak those mockups until you’re happy your design is ready to be built.
This is where everything starts to come together. We will apply your design to the complete site and upload all agreed-upon content to our staging server. We will build the author website with all of the features included with your chosen build package, and we will test it before requesting you to evaluate and revise it as needed.
After you’ve made your final changes, we’ll migrate your new author website from our staging server to your actual domain before configuring domain-based services and conducting final tests. We’ll remove the holding page and launch the site once we’re all satisfied that it’s ready.
