Demystifying our process is one of Icom's primary goals in creating lasting relationships with our clients. Here's an outline of the ICOM web design process:

Step 1: Identify Requirements
Purpose - What is the main purpose of the site design or redesign?
Audience - Who is your intended audience?
Function - What must the site do for your customers? What would you like it to do?

Time - When must the work be completed?
Step 2: Determine a Solution
  • Definitive price
  • Accurate schedule
  • Detail of features
Step 3: Build it/Test it
During the building phase, you will have opportunities to review and approve the process.
Step 4: Go Live
  • Post finished website to location of your choice. Provide backup CD-ROM.
  • Domain name registration, modification or transfer

  • provide cost effective Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Step 5: Extended Support
  • Updates, modification to existing content
  • Search Engine registration and placement
  • Email advertisements and campaigns

Our web design and development projects are focused on 3 core concepts: functionality, usability and style.

Functionality - what does your website do for your customers?

In addition to incorporating standard textual and graphic content, Icom offers its clients a wide array of both pre-packaged and custom built modular functionality enhancements. These enhancements include but are not limited to:

  • Shopping Carts
  • Mailing Lists and Email forms
  • Content Management Systems
  • Quick Customer Polling and Rating
  • Discussion Groups and Threads
  • Banner Advertising

Incorporating these enhancements can add tremendous value to your online presence, shifting the concept of your site away from a simple "online phonebook ad" toward a true value added service offering.

Usability - ensuring customer return.

Usability, an often overlooked aspect of quality web design, is perhaps the most critical factor in customer retention. If your site's visitors cannot find the information they are looking for quickly and intuitively, they'll go to another site. It's that simple. Icom's web designers study and incorporate critical usability enhancements in all of our web and software design projects. The result is a better web site.

Style - making a statement about quality.

Increasingly, potential customers will look at your company's online presence before doing any business with you. When today's savvier Web surfer visits your site, quality is the first assumption they make about your business. And the styling of your site drives that assumption. Icom's web design team can create your website to match existing marketing materials or create an entire branding package from scratch.

Customer Support

Customer support doesn't end when the website is complete. Get responses to your questions in hours or minutes, not days.
