Web design
nHarmony has three basic approaches to Web Design:
- Complete Custom Website Design,
- Custom Website Wrapper, and
- Starting Points Design.
Each of these are described below. If you have questions, please contact us.
COMPLETE CUSTOM WEB DESIGN
The goal of a complete custom web design is to create a unique, appropriate design for all of the pages on your website. The process typically starts with an interview about the qualities most important to you. You may have a logo or other art that is important to include. Our web designers then create an initial concept, usually of the homepage.
The process of developing the right look and feel of the first page is a cyclic process of nHarmony's creation followed by your feedback. This continues until you're completely satisfied. During these development stages, our designers may add Flash media, roll overs, drop downs and other components. Once you have approved this page and discussed ideas for the other pages, then our web designers create the other pages, working to make each page layout effective and appealing. As with the first page, this is a cyclic process of development.
Normally, complete custom web designs lead to great looking web sites! However, they take the most time to create and are the most expensive option that we offer.
CUSTOM WEBSITE WRAPPER
Many websites do not need our professional artists to spend time designing the detailed layout of every page, but our artists are needed to create a unique, custom general look and feel. We call the common design features, usually including the navigation, the wrapper of a website. The various pages are copies of this wrapper, but the contents of each page can be quite different.
Typically, our designers create the wrapper and the contents of the homepage. The process of developing the right look and feel of the homepage is a cyclic process of nHarmony's creation followed by your feedback. This continues until you're completely satisfied. At that point, the wrapper is "cut" from the homepage and used for all your pages.
The goal of the Starting Points approach is to create an appropriate web design cost effectively. Starting Point designs may not be as unique as a custom design, but they can be created more quickly and less expensively.
The process typically starts with you choosing a design that you generally like. Your starting point design may be your current web design, a template (layered files typically required), or one of the designs that we have in our Starting Points catalog. This initial design is then adapted by changing colors and altering graphics. Typically, the artistic changes are not very great and there are very few cycles in this design process.
Below are examples of Starting Points Designs we have implemented.
