Services :: Deployment
Deployment can be a simple and straightforward task, so long as you know what to watch out for. After picking a winning strategy, finalizing the design, and turning out the scope of work we come to the final challenge: introducing this intrepid new tool to your target audience. In the new and evolving web environment of related databases, email requirements, and conversion tracking we will leverage all our skill and experience to deploy your project correctly out of the gate.
Quality Assurance Processes
No getting around it: even the best designed and developed web sites will experience a certain percentage of problems and failures. For that there is QA. Quality assurance for websites describes the process of enforcing quality control standards and working to improve processes that are used in producing the site, its components, infrastructure and content. Our highly competent quality assurance team will set expectations around what QA can effectively accomplish and take action to debug and optimize before launch, even on quick turn projects.
Browser Compatibility Testing
Browser compatibility is an issue of making variable browsers being able to handle capability or function correctly even when they don’t want to. For example, the implementation of JavaScript code often raises browser compatibility issues because different browsers vary in their ability to support the same JavaScript object model the same way. ENTERMEDIA will build your site so that performance and presentation are seamless from browser to browser. W3C statistics indicate that Internet Explorer (IE) remains the most prevalently used browser type — IE6 being slightly more used than IE7 (a slim percentage still use IE5) — whereas Firefox is nearly as widespread and many users exclusively use Safari or Opera. We ensure that your site will work on any machine using any browser/resolution type, from PCs to Macs to handheld PDAs.
Secure Transaction Testing (Gateway, Merchant Accounts, Paypal, etc)
ENTERMEDIA will examine the server access and file ownership privileges and verify that no security holes exist. Encryption can be used so that if someone intercepts the data they cannot decode it back to the original credit card number or encrypted data element. SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer, a protocol which uses a form of public key encryption. This information can be encoded by the browser using a publicly available key but can only be decoded by someone who knows the corresponding private key.
File Size & Performance Optimization
The major benefit of optimization is speed. The better the code and the more attention paid to file size & performance optimization, the more opportunity to control: a) how fast a page downloads; b) how well a web server handles HTTP requests; c) how fast a server program, CGI or macro can initiate, run, and complete; and d) how much load a server CPU can handle. ENTERMEDIA will use solid judgment based on our experience to decide when and where optimization is necessary. The most important issue regarding file size & performance optimization is how well you build and implement the code in the first place: good and clean code is faster to render and easier to analyze for optimization in every respect.
Search Engine Optimization
As we near launch, ENTERMEDIA will make your web site not only “user friendly” but “search engine friendly”, too. By this time we’ll have built your site in a manner that makes it easy for search engine ‘bots’ or ’spiders’ to crawl your links and document your site content so as to determine your page rank within related search engine results pages. Now we will layer identified keywords and target phrases into your page content (what hasn’t been done already), your heading tags, your page titles, your meta tags, etc. With proficient technique and the latest know-how on SEO strategy for 301 redirects or new site roll-outs, we’ll implement quick content manipulations and tag descriptions that can dramatically influence your relevancy throughout the most popular search engine rankings and raise ROI for your pay per click campaigns.
Ongoing Website & Database Maintenance
One never knows with absolute certainty how a website will perform until it’s observed in its real-world environment. It’s very common that the web sites we build will be revisited at a later date to update functionality, streamline data behavior, and implement content changes as a result of research collected around how end-users are operating on our client’s sites. If it’s only a minor tweak and not too far outside the original scope, ENTERMEDIA may service these maintenance tasks at no charge. You can always count on ENTERMEDIA to be ready and able to perform ongoing website & database maintenance so your site remains an accurate extension of your business online.
