A Simple Three Step Process
Based on clear communication and collaboration, this three step workflow will keep the project on task, on time and within budget – ensuring a smooth transition from concept through to completion.
Discovery
The first step is taking time to get to know you, your business and what you are trying to accomplish. This is initiated with a questionnaire that will ask key questions such as the purpose, audience and objectives. We also encourage any additional input and direction you may have. After all, you are the expert in your industry just as much as we are in ours. At this point, all written content and imagery that you would like used on your Minisite should be supplied. The information and content collected here will be used to plan the ideal Minisite.
Design
This is where the creative juices begin to flow! Drawing from the information gathered up to this point, we will hit the drawing board to create a design concept that will accurately represent the overall look and feel of the end product. This includes a precise rendering of what your Minisite will look like. You will review the concept and provide feedback. Up to three rounds of iterations may be made to achieve the desired look.
Develop
Once the design is approved, programming will commence to turn it into a fully functioning website compliant with W3C web standards and compatible with all modern browsers and devices. First, the design will be converted into a HTML/CSS template. The database will be setup, content will be entered, formatted and optimized for all major search engines. A Content Management System (CMS) will be setup and a user guide provided for updating your Minisite in the future. After your final review and approval, your Minisite will be launched!

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? It may be one of our frequently asked questions below. Click the question to reveal the answer or contact us.
Traditional websites spread their content over many web pages, which cause loading delays when linking from page to page. Minisites eliminate this delay by condensing all content on to one seamless scrolling web page. This saves time for users, especially on mobile devices, which are now the dominant platform for viewing websites.
Minisites are great for small to medium sized businesses or serving a specific purpose, such as promoting a product, service or event, driving downloads, generating sign ups or taking orders. If you have a large database of content that must be accessible, a traditional website may be more appropriate than a Minisite. However, a Minisite could still be used to complement or even promote your full website or part of your website.
In today's society, a professional web presence for your business or organization is a must. People looking for information usually go to the internet first. If you don't have a good website, or no website at all, they tend to look for someone else who does.
We require your logo and any content (text, images, video, etc.) that you would like displayed on your Minisite. Aside from that, we require your input and approvals during the design and development process.
Everything can be done through email, telephone or Skype but we will be happy to meet with you if you wish, and you're located in or near St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
Copy writing is not included but we certainly can if needed, for an additional charge. However, we encourage you to write your own content because nobody knows your business or organization better than you do. Don't worry, we ask you key questions to help get the right information from you.

Minisites carry a limited 30 day warranty after launch to work out any bugs or issues you may run into. However, most problems occur from circumstances outside our control and therefore can't offer an extended warranty. In the unlikely event that you have an issues after the first 30 days, we will be happy to help you at an hourly rate.
Yes. By condensing your content down to one concise page and omitting unnecessary pages, we are able to pass savings on to you from the reduced development time.
