Phase 2 takes time to learn about your business. Long before technological solutions are discussed, we meet one-on-one with you to learn about your company and its goals. During the discovery process, Phase 2 staff members:

- Define Functionality Requirements
- Develop Technical Specifications
- Develop Project Blueprint
- Determine Resource Needs
- Develop Test Plan
- Develop flow charts, data flow diagrams, database schemes, etc.
- Present two mock-ups of the Web site design
Phase 2’s creative and technical team work side-by-side to develop Web sites and applications of all sizes. Key activities in the development process may include:

- Design and development of a Web site search engine
Now that the site is built it is ready to launch, right? Wrong. Phase 2 has a final step to complete before we place a your site online. Phase 2 will:
