Website creation process

You can track all project stages in the delivery center. The project workflow consists of four stages: requirement confirmation, prototype stage, visual design, and inner page design.

1. Requirement confirmation: An assigned designer will contact you within one business day to discuss and confirm your requirements. If the requirements are clear and all necessary materials are provided, the project moves to the next stage. If the requirements or materials are insufficient for the designer to proceed, they will reject the current submission.

2. Prototype stage (prototype confirmation): Based on the confirmed requirements and materials, the designer builds the overall website structure according to the current version specifications. This takes two business days after requirement confirmation, and the system automatically submits the prototype. You have one business day from the submission to review the prototype and either approve it or reject it to request revisions. The project proceeds to the next stage only after your confirmation.

   Note

   The prototype stage focuses on the overall website structure and page layout. The prototype is a black-and-white wireframe with a preview link for you to review online (as shown in the figure below).

3. Visual design (visual design confirmation): In this stage, the designer builds upon the approved prototype to create the visual design for the homepage. This includes selecting colors, images, and refining details. This takes two business days after prototype confirmation, and the system automatically submits the design. You have one business day from the submission to either approve the design or reject it with revision requests. The project proceeds to the next stage only after your confirmation.

   Note

   The visual design stage covers the homepage banner and the site’s overall style and color palette. You will receive a preview link to review the design online (as shown in the figure below).

4. Inner page design (site-wide confirmation): Based on the confirmed homepage style, the designer applies the color scheme and populates the inner pages with your content and images. This process takes two business days, and the system automatically submits the result. You have one business day from the submission to either approve the entire site or reject it with revision requests.

   Important

   In the final site-wide confirmation stage, if you do not request revisions or reject the site within seven business days, the system will automatically confirm it on your behalf.
