Web Site Creation Milestones
1. Discover
We ask lots of questions, learn about your industry, and figure out what you’re after. The goal of this phase is to gain a deep and intuitive sense of your goals, competitors, and business plan.
2. Plan
We take what we learned in the Discovery phase and transform it into an actionable plan. We also define the budget, timeline, technology, and deliverables (such as briefs, sitemaps, and content outlines) needed to complete the work.
3. Invent
Strategic plan in hand, we move to the drawing table — this is where the design and concept begin to take shape. We keep sifting and refining our ideas until we’ve found the best possible solution.
4. Build
Now that we have our vision and solution nailed down, we can start executing. In this phase, all the pieces fall into place.
5. Deploy
We put the spit-shine on our work with user testing, quality assurance, and reviews. When we’re sure all development is complete, we deploy the project in a live production environment.
6. Manage & Grow
Once the project is launched, we establish a roadmap for constant improvement and future enhancements. We discover the true results of our work as we monitor the project’s growth over time.

Mood Boards
I came to realization that a web designer needs to create 2 types of mood boards. The 1st is collage that contains different screen shots from various sites. The 2nd is a more refined mood board. It contains samples of color palette, textures and patterns, photography and illustration, typography, buttons and etc. I believe in most cases only the 2nd more refined mood board needs to be shown to the client.
