CHRISTIAN INTERNET DESIGN was created in 1993 in an effort to supply professional websites for American Churches at affordable costs. Little did we know we would be flooded with requests from 3rd world Country Churches and ministries Worldwide! We have since visited Africa and India many times and turned both CHRISTIAN INTERNET DESIGN and HIGHTECH MINISTRY into more than just a Website Design Co. It is now an International Ministry that provides websites and support to many 3rd World Country Pastors and Ministries as well as National Businesses, Churches, Ministries and Organizations.

What should we look for in a Website Development firm?

One of the major frustrations for clients occurs when they receive wildly varying quotes for Web design projects. One of the best ways to avoid this, and ensure the work is completed to the highest standards, is to specify accurately all aspects of the work to be completed.

The old cliché of comparing apples to apples rings true. Note down the exact specifications for the project, how many pages you require, how many forms, etc. Only by doing that will you ensure that everyone is quoting the same and only then can you really see who is the best value - without compromising on quality.

Having said that, we usually only establish the exact needs of our clients after several meetings and discussions. It can be very difficult for people inexperienced with the Internet to know exactly what can be done to serve best your specific needs. Beyond this, you need to consider various other factors.

These may include:

• Experience of the team.
• Expertise of the team.
• Past projects completed.
• Success of previous projects.
• References and testimonials.
• Equipment - does the designer have all the equipment necessary to complete all aspects of your project? This could include digital cameras, scanners and software.
• Specialist skills (i.e. Search Engine placement skills, 'Flash' programming experience).

As an example, our Web Team consists of a researcher, Internet Marketer, Web designer, Website Programmer and Graphic Artist. A site completed by us is reviewed extensively by our experts for such critical issues as load time (how long does the site take to come up onto the screen?), browser compatibility (is the site displayed the same by different computers?), and navigational ease. Most of our sites are reviewed regularly by a focus group of up to 10 people with various levels of Internet usage skills. With these extensive skills and review, sites completed are of the highest quality.

A lot of people have Web design skills now. Why shouldn't we use a graduate who has these skills?

We do find that this is one of the most common scenarios we are presented with. Our answer is that design skills are only a very small part of Website development. It is no good having an attractive site if it does not attract visitors.

The process we go through in designing a site is exhaustive. Firstly, there are a series of meetings with clients to establish exactly what they want and need the site to do. Once the objectives of the site are clearly fixed, we research the target market and assess their requirements for such a site. We then establish a focus group of the target market that assists in the development of the site. This group completes a series of surveys to identify issues such as load time, copy effectiveness, navigational ease, and the quality of product presentation and overall design success.

In close consultation with our clients, we then move on to complete the look and 'feel' of the site.

The wording of the site is completed by the client’s team. The copy is developed in association with the project manager who also is our expert Internet Marketer to ensure that the site will place as high as possible in Search Engines, if this is relevant, and to ensure its relevancy. Privacy commitments are then included into the site (again, research shows that privacy is the biggest concerns for Internet users).

Our Security Expert is brought in to try to 'crack' the site code, access databases, etc to ensure a high level of security is provided for the site.

The entire site is then reviewed via a complex process whereby a vast amount of technical information is gathered and assessed by our team.

Once the site passes a series of strict criteria, ranging from security issues, to navigational issues, to marketing issues, then the site is passed for hosting.

Clients are involved in the development of the site as much as possible, to ensure it meets the objectives set earlier and is a site of the highest standard.

How long would it take to build a site as detailed here?

The site would be completed within one month from the time the client returns all Content Forms. The time of completion depends on the time it takes to obtain clients information and site plan. We do not start design until all content for website is in. Once all the Information is in, a site of 16 pages can be designed within one week.

The next step is to review others sites, speak with industry sources and generally access the way our proposal provides the solutions to taking your website into the market of tomorrow today - the Internet.

The Internet is a sometimes mystifying and complicated world—we welcome any questions or suggestions you may have regarding this proposal. We would be delighted to provide additional information on how we can make your website the best it can be.
