*THE DESIGN PROCESS

We conventionally classify web sites by their volume, intensity of graphics and functionality. This classification helps us better understand the task, plan our work and calculate the price. First of all, we distinguish the following classes of web sites by their graphical (art) design:

Class A1: Informational. Personal, educational and other simple web sites with minimal graphics.

Class A2: Presentation. Commercial web sites with more "promotional" look, better graphics. You may want us to add professional illustrations or photos, which are licensed separately.

Class A3: E-zine. Online magazines or other sites with highly dynamic content and complex site structure.

Class A4: Deluxe. Corporate web sites with ideal art design and custom photography.

Prices for this part of work may vary depending on the class and the number of page templates we create. An A1 site with no more than 10 pages, for example, may cost from $200 to $500.

Besides the "look and feel", your web site may have some functionality and interaction.

Class F1: Plain pages, no functionality.

Class F2: Standard set of server-side features with no or little customization, such like site search, automatic newsletter subscription and distribution, feedback and support forms, also automatic page generation (for example, you have a big number of plain-text articles and you want them to be formatted and displayed on the fly).

Class F3: Online stores or corporate sites with a product database.

Class F4: Custom web applications, such like email front-ends, job banks, as well as big online stores and other interactive sites with rich functionality, not limited to database programming.

*YOUR REQUIREMENTS

We at *NetFlute are always open to any additional requirements you may have.

For example, some customers require us to use specific colors on the site, as each color has its own meaning and mood. Or, we can carefully analyze and choose a dominating color(s) for your web site depending on the nature of your business.

If you are aware of the browser compatibility problem, then you can tell us whether your site should be fully compatible with older browsers (e.g. with the functionally poor and buggy Netscape 4 - less than 2% of the clients still use it), or otherwise you want to count only on the newest browsers and have all modern functionality on your pages.

When the server toolkit is not an issue for you, then we prefer Unix/Apache/PHP/C++/MySQL - the most popular and proven web platform. However, for future compatibility or any other reason you may require a different platform/toolkit to be used on your web site. Our experts have deep knowledges of other solutions as well (e.g. Windows NT, IIS, ASP, Java, Oracle etc.)

*LANGUAGES

We build sites in English, French, Russian and Armenian, as well as multilingual sites with any combination of these languages.
