What are the phases for developing and promoting a new site?
• Planning: I gather and organize all of the information, text, and pictures needed for the client’s new site. The client chooses a domain name (if one is not already registered), and opens a Web hosting account. • Development: I design and create the site, and make available to the client a preview of the site’s Web pages. • Feedback: I make any requested changes to the Web pages. The site’s content is then complete. • Deployment: I upload and verify the functionality of the site. The site is then “live” on the Internet. • Promotion: To increase the new site’s publicity, I register it with major search engines and directories, if applicable. I also write and distribute an online press release, announcing that the new site is open for business.
