Many businesses and individuals are looking for the perfect web design company that can deliver the vision on time and budget in the hope they know what they're doing, only to be let down by the final delivered solution, why is this?

Well, there are a few reasons, project development complexity, exact Web Design solutions are rarely bought off the shelf and therefore are just a visionary concept in the mind or on paper until the completed beta version can be fully assessed. In many circumstances, what is delivered can be very disappointing for the client and the design company. In fact, there's no guarantee whatsoever that what you expect will actually arrive.

Interpretation is another reason why the beta version is delivered with a large percentage of the functionality missing, what you actually require compared to what you actually get can vary tremendously.

Partially defined specifications, if the requirements are not fully defined and agreed (what you want) then this can ...
... lead to ambiguity and assumption from a web developer's viewpoint, particularly the database design which may need to be re-written completely. This can cost the client a lot of money and delay the go live time by weeks or months.

It's a bit like designing the perfect property and turning up on site the day the builder is finishing the final touches and you stating, I asked for a 4 bedroom house not a 3 bedroom bungalow! If this was the scenario, you'd want to be around at key stages in the build to ensure what was asked for is being built right?

There's no difference with a complex web design solution, you want to see what's being done as it's being built and although this is not as accessible as an open field with bricks and mortar the design company can better position themselves to keep you the customer fully involved with the overall design concept from the look and feel through to the navigation pages and features.

So, can the process be improved? Can the customer and the web design company can work together to deliver the perfect solution? Well, yes, there is and it's one that doesn't cost a lot of money to achieve, in fact, it's cheaper in the long run and it's know as a prototype web design approach.

This is about turning the vision into reality at the concept stages rather than the beta (developed) stage. Prototyping is a very intuitive process and for larger complex solutions it is recommend that a prototype website is the way forward. This involves providing a mock-up of the home page and then designing all the pages and features of the whole website as a shell. All the links from page to page work but there's no code behind the design, for example the link to play a sample track is visible but when selected, nothing happens. This method is very popular as it allows the client to visually navigate through the website and make any design alterations or additions to the pages or features. It's also provides a virtual tour of the website (like a visiting customer) then when the client is completely satisfied with the overall prototype, the development of the complete working solution can begin. No ambiguity, no assumptions and no delays!

This helps both parties because, the client is happy, the web design studio knows exactly what needs doing and they can accurately price the complete development of the website. This approach is a lot more flexible as it delivers exactly what you see.
