Deep Web Design & Development Skills
Web Design and development is a staple service at Hök Nik Creative. We have successfully planned, created, and deployed hundreds of websites during our 16 year history in the city of Edmonton. We are a company you can build a long term relationship with — in fact, many of our clients have been with us for over a decade. No matter if you are in Kelowna, Calgary, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, Toronto, Halifax, Sasktoon or Yellowknife, we can easily put your project online. Year after year we work with clients from all over Canada and the USA to ensure their web presence is working for their company and their customers.
The reason we're so confident in our website design service is that our web development process is proven to deliver high impact results. Here's how we do it:
Define & Consult
Contact us and we'll organize a meeting to flesh out your online needs. We can meet in person, or we can meet online. We think our approach is refreshing. Listening to you, we will define the project, and get to know your goals and requirements. Then we architect an appropriate strategy with costs. Goals are prioritized. Deliverables are specified. Key performance indicators are agreed upon and a project production schedules are established.
Content Creation
Content is king on the internet. It's just as important as the visual aspect of your website. Without engaging, information-rich content your website will barely be visible. We provide copy-writing and editing services to supplement your written content. We write specifically for the web. Once we know your search goals, we mix tight, white-hat Search Engine Optimization (SEO) practices with information-rich copy to ensure your message resonates with your site's users and the search engine robots.
Design
Our visual designers have the design skills to create a site interface that matches your branding and identity, and works in multiple browser environments. Our Edmonton design team will approach your web project in a unique way to ensure that the website design solution we present will be original, eye-catching and effective. Our approach to design is to create a beautiful framework around the site’s content and functionality features.
Development
The next step after design and content formulation is the technical heavy-lifting of development. In this phase, the development team will use the content, design and documentation produced in the first phase to create and code your website. All of our sites are built using a world-recognized CMS software called DotNetNuke (DNN). This allows us to rapidly design and deliver a rich web experience to your users. This CMS has thousands of add-on modules available — such as blogs, event management registration apps, e-commerce carts, and user management resources — so your ongoing needs are covered at a lower cost than buying custom-written web software.
Review & Deploy
Once we have the site's foundation built, we deploy your website. First, we ensure that it's compatible with all major browsers and mobile devices, and check that your email and forms are set up and functioning properly. We also triple check page content to ensure optimum search indexing. By making your content indexable and more easily found by your target markets, we help you get closer to your customer right out of the gate.
After-Launch Care
We are happy to work on a web project on a single project basis, but we believe that the interactive world is more and more about journeys. A brand’s online presence evolves continuously and rapidly. Websites need to be continually monitored and adjusted to ensure their effectiveness. It's a little like painting a big bridge: once you get to the end, you just have to begin again. So we use and provide statistics reporting from Google Analytics to monitor your site's on-going performance. And we offer a number of after-launch services to ensure your website remains fresh and relevant, and your traffic continues to grow. We generally work on retainer for this ongoing work.
