Timeline
Typical MediaRoom development and implementation time: six to
eight weeks
Design
We can implement design using one of the following methods:
1. You send us all elements to build your new site. This will be an
HTML template file with all elements linking back to your web
server including images, CSS and any JavaScript required to
make your page function.
2. We copy design directly from your current website or a
development site. Please send us a link that we can pull design
from.
Content
You can send us content using one or both methods below.
1. Send a link to a current site where we need to migrate content
from and give us specific instructions on what pages should be
moved. Please include direct links.
2. Send new content in the form of zip files or online transfers.
Next Steps
1. Once you deliver the design elements and content
instructions, we will set up a staged version of the site for you
to review.
2. After you’ve approved the staged version of the site, we will
be ready to take your site live.
3. You will need to decide the URL of your new site. We will give
you specific instructions if you decide to use a subdomain.
4. Once a contract is in place and we initiate the site build
process, our SiteSupport team will outline a more detailed
milestone roadmap of the development of your site.
