Web Design & Web Development Services

The Dragil Mission is simple: with our expertise in planning, implementation and ability to grow online businesses, our goal is to ensure all aspects of a successful online business are in place and working in tandem:

  • Website Planning
  • Web Design
  • Web Development
  • Content Creation
  • Web Marketing

It’s our belief all successful businesses share a denominating pattern of thorough planning, appealing design structures, cost efficient implementation efforts, valuable content and finally, a focused and tailored marketing plan that is critical to any successful business.

Website Planning

Before the first design is created and the first code is written, the Dragil team participates in several planning sessions to ensure a solid foundation is in place. It’s our belief the more time, effort and energies put forth during this critical planning phase, the stronger the final project will be that’s both cost efficient and effective.

This initial phase, and certainly the most important phase, includes prototype designs, wireframes, layouts, SRS and launch strategy output. These will be referred to and used throughout the project and all items will be successfully prepared and carefully reviewed before the project moves forward.

Web Design

Based on the wireframes defined during the initial phase, the Dragil design team creates all design related elements such as logos, page designs, icons and graphics. Once approved and the team has verified it complies with wireframes, the designs are then sliced to create pixel perfect HTML Code.

Web Development

Depending on the project objectives and the launch strategy, Dragil then decides to incorporate an “out of the box” solution or a “from scratch” solution. At times, your needs might be better served by combining these two methods. The overall paradigm is simple: the solution should be as cost-efficient as possible while remaining as extendable as possible for future additions or changes to the website.

Web Content Creation

Whether the project includes a micro site that describes your business or a social networking site, it’s crucial your ideas, services and products are presented and described as thoroughly, but also as succinctly, as possible.

Regardless of how appealing the design might be or how user-friendly it is, your website should support and frame the actual content, deliver its message and frame the product in such a way that customers will respond. It’s a delicate balance to ensure enough information is carefully created and presented while not getting lost in an incredible design and development effort.

Content ranges from brief marketing blurbs, product images, video testimonials and downloadable fliers. The content should work in tandem with these efforts while meeting the business objectives.

Web Marketing

The final step to a successful online business launch or web project is to get the word out. You want the online community to know who you are, what your product is and what makes it stand apart. If no one is aware of its existence, the best website won’t generate revenue and won’t serve its purpose.

Marketing is similar to football: you need a good team in place, but you need a great running forward to hit its mark. There are many different avenues of promotion for one’s services and products. There are no hard and fast rules and often, the best combinations are drawn from an eclectic mix of different marketing tools.

… Own Dog Food

Dragil does not offer any service that it hasn’t tried and isn’t using for its own internal projects. We believe this only reiterates our mission and confidence. In other words, we eat our own dog food.
