Web Site Development

The process typically for new and redesigned websites includes:

• Audience Research, including quantitative and qualitative collection methods to accurately understand how to satisfy a successful user experience (UX) with the chosen tasks and goals as identified as priority.
• Planning and Information Architecture (IA), including a review of planned or existing content, development of a site map blueprint document and creation of wireframes to explain general interactions with the site.
• Visual Design, including the creation of static comps (or mockups) for key sections of the site.
• Production, including the implementation of a unit's content into the Drupal content management system (CMS) and creation of necessary assets to execute the shared vision for the site.
• QA/Testing, including testing against all supported ITS desktop and mobile platforms and institutional web policies, as well as acting on any feedback from users or the client.
• Training, ensuring departmental users have the information they need to manage their web site going forward.
• Alternative RFP Service: ITS Web Communications is also able to assist departments in out-sourcing their web projects, should certain conditions apply that make a project right to find an outside vendor.
