How We Work ?

Babblecom has established a hassle-free method of production based on a series of stages that are presented and signed off by the client before proceeding. 'Content' and 'design' are separated into two production paths so that there are minimal delays. The steps we generally use to produce websites are:

Initial phase

  • The client accepts quotation/tender, agrees to Babblecom Terms and Conditions and makes initial (50%) payment.
  • Babblecom meets with the client to discuss a detailed brief, including proposed direction of the project, structure and navigation options, and visual references (such as other web sites or applications) that may help explain the proposed visual direction. Other issues should also be discussed, such as existing style guides, corporate logos or policies (if appropriate).
  • The client delivers a content package (including all images and text needed for the site).

Design production path

  • Babblecom creates a series of initial graphic mock-ups for inspection. These will be displayed on the Test site in the case of a web site development or they will be presented directly to the client.
  • The client inspects the mock-ups and shows colleagues and a sample of target audience users if appropriate. The client does not have to sign off on initial mock-ups as further modifications can take place. We generally allow three stages of mock-ups: initial mock-ups and two refinement stages (if required).
  • Babblecom refines mock-ups and displays them online (if web) or presents them for feedback.
  • The client signs off on final mock-ups.

Final phase

  • Babblecom 'cuts and codes' the templates for the project and includes the content.
  • The client provides any final content changes. If graphic changes are requested, additional charges will apply, as sign-off has already been given for graphic production.
  • Babblecom applies final changes.
  • The client signs off on the final stage and makes a final payment to Babblecom.
  • Babblecom uploads (or otherwise delivers) the project deliverable to its final live location.
