Does your company have a website? If you do, are you happy with it, does it reflect the image that you want your current or potential
clients to see. If you do not have a web site and you are looking for a unique site designed to capture the essence of your
business and project your vision of your company, then we can help.
Web sites come in all shapes and sizes, and include everything from a single static page to complex e-commerce applications
and company portals for employees as well as external partners. If you are in the market for a web site, either new or to revamp an existing one,
then Jacobs Consulting, LLC can provide you with a site that you will be proud to call your own.
In order to properly design a web site to meet a clients requirements, we must follow the same basic approach, or software development
lifecycle, that we incorporate in traditional software development. We also employ a development environment that we use as a sandbox
for the developers. This sandbox allows us to work on a site and see it as the world will see it through multiple browsers during the
development phase. This also allows our clients to review the progress of the project and to provide approval for key elements as the
web site project is created.
The design phase of a web site is typicaly much more intense and involved process than the design of a traditional compiled software
application. The visual and interactive nature of the Internet dictates that what is seen is perceived as more important than the
coding behind the visual presentation. While the visual aspect can be more demanding, it is still only one aspect of the overall project.
The software development lifecycle (SDLC) that we employ for all of our software development is also used when we design and develop a web site.
The SLDC that we follow is:
* Planning
* Analysis
* Design
* Testing
* Implementation
* Maintenance
Working closely with our clients, we strive to create websites that will reflect their unique business and mission as well as providing
the functionality required beyond the look and feel of the site. The functionality can include e-commerce, customer portals, intranet
and extranet applications, product catalogs, blogs, client access for purchase or reporting of problems, database integration, etc.
The only real limitation to what your website can look like and do, is your imagination.
