Development

A great website is easy to maintain.

At SmallBox, we code so that you don’t have to. Out of all of our team members, you will most likely have the least interaction with the development team, but they will always be behind the scenes, transforming all of our great ideas into workable realities.

During this phase, our Developers will translate the approved designs into HTML/CSS templates, building in the behind-the-scenes functionality that makes it all "work" — essentially bringing the site to life.

We create a non-public version of the site — what we call a "staging area." This is where it all comes together. We build your site's pages based on the Site Map, place your content into the site, optimize the site for usability and search engines; perform browser testing and debugging for all site functionality; and then give it a final coat of "polish." Then it's your turn, as we'll give you a link and ask that you "kick the tires" — to interact with the site, and test it before launching it for the public.

A site's launch is NOT the end.

Every SmallBox site comes with a customized Content Management System (CMS). We understand that an owner-friendly site is one that is easy to update. If you don't enjoy updating
your website then you likely won't — and that creates problems with search engines (and users) as your website will quickly grow stale. A number of features are included with every SmallBox CMS —
all geared toward making it easy and efficient to update your site's content.

Every SmallBox site also comes with an hour of CMS training, and 30-days of post-launch support, making for a smoother transition of the site into your care — and ensuring that your investment continues to perform.

Once your new site is up and running, we have a plan to help you drive traffic to it! Good thing we're also really good at helping you Market that great new site of yours!
