We develop customized social networking websites. The task of creating a social networking community platform from scratch is a daunting one. We've spent thousands upon thousands of hours building a social networking software that can be easily built upon and customized for any type of community platform. The social networking framework we've developed is 100% tested and functional. Any new features can be easily developed and integrated by our web developers who have experience developing social media, social applications and other web 2.0 features.
Initial ConsultationPearse Street Consulting wants to offer helpful advice and planning throughout the process of building your site. However, compiling the details of your site and brainstorming your concept initially is especially important in creating a thorough and well-planned site. A Project Manager will discuss your preliminary site plans at no charge, and when you are ready to discuss your concept and required features in more depth, we ask that you provide a signed NDA as well as an initial retainer for design, development and marketing consultation, the balance of which will be applied toward subsequent development costs should you decide to move forward.
In order to provide you with the most informative consultation, we ask that you provide our team with the following documents and informational items:
After the initial consultation has been completed and the project has been discussed in depth, the Pearse Street team will draft a detailed project proposal for your social network website. This professional document, which will be integral in any investor presentations, will include the following items:
Upon review of your proposal, you may request that information be added or removed from the proposal for final approval. When you are ready to commence site construction, we will schedule your project and finalize payment details.
We will first ask you to complete a very thorough questionnaire that once completed will give our team a clear perspective on your goals for visual presentation, functionality requirements, and your target audience. Once your site plan is established, the Pearse Street Design Team will work with graphic designers and front-end developers to create a professional logo if needed, establish a color scheme, and layout the pages of the network's user interface for your review. This is the first step of the visual definition of your social networking site. From this point we will then tweak the design and layout based on your input, and once approved, we will begin implementing the user-interface design with the back-end functionality of the site.
Once branding of your site is complete, our development team will begin connecting the graphic components with the basic framework functions, in addition to those detailed in your final contract. The site will go through many phases of testing, after which it will go into beta and then public launch. Upon final launch, discussions for Phase II marketing & development can commence.
Marketing initiatives coordinate with branding and development of your site. Our basic framework included a base marketing package including services such as keyword analysis, SEO, SEM and press release submissions, which we strongly recommend to jumpstart initial traffic to the launched site. You will have the ability upgrade this package at any stage of your site construction and launch.
Once you are ready to commence site construction, we will schedule your project and finalize a timeline. Some aspects of your projects will be worked on concurrently, while others cannot begin until other phases are complete. You can learn more about our design and development process through the flow chart below, keeping in mind that this project is unique to your specific needs and will be approached accordingly.
