Website Mechanics offers a complete line of services to create any marketing piece. Below is an overview of the stages of the production process of a website, video or multimedia project.

PROJECT PLANNING
    At the start of any successful project is a good plan. Project developers will meet with you to determine the best way to present important information to your audience. Project planning is actually the longest stage of the complete development process! During the creation of the plan our developers will analyze your current materials and determine your production needs while keeping your budget in mind. At this stage, the scope of your project is realized and a cost estimate is generated.

DESIGN & PRODUCTION
    Once you approve the plan, our team goes to work. Graphic designers will create an overall theme for the project including the look and feel to be used throughout. Photography and videography crews will capture the elements needed to create the message. Editors and Authoring personnel will assemble the elements into a functional work.

FINAL CLIENT APPROVAL
    You will be constantly involved at all stages of the project and remain informed of the overall project status, after all this is your project. When it comes time for final approval on the project, you will be given a "proof" copy to review at your convenience. We will then meet with you to get your feedback and make any modifications within the scope of the project plan, while avoiding "Scope Creep".

REPLICATION
    In all cases, except for websites, copies for distribution must be created. Because of we purchase in bulk from 3rd party replicators, we are able to pass these savings to our clients. Prices constantly change as the cost of producing CD and DVD media continue to drop. Please call for the latest pricing information.

DISTRIBUTION
    During the planning stages, we determing the best method for getting your project to your intended audience. Usual means for distributing media include direct mail, trade shows, sales meetings, point of purchase displays, and in the case of websites - search engine listings and links on other sites.

TRACKING / TRENDING
    An important part of any marketing plan is deciding which stategies are working best. In order to provide the best return on your marketing investment we devise means of tracking the success of your project.

Scope Creep Statement - We will do everything necessary to ensure that your expectations are met and project is completed as outlined in the project plan. Once the project is started it is very easy to see how small additions can be made to a project to increase it's usefullness. These small additions will quickly compound and cause the project to increse in size or scope. This is called "Scope Creep."

With this in mind, be aware that any additions to the project at this stage (outside of the project plan) will involve additional costs. We will gladly incorporate any ideas for the inclusion of additional items or information into your project, and before starting any additions will submit a quote for your approval.
