“Skyhook’s approach to website development is a game changer. Our new website is like a salesperson — constantly growing our business, and never sleeping.”
Custom Website Development
Our flagship service, Skyhook’s Custom Website Development, is designed to take your organization’s website to the next level. The process begins with a series of strategic meetings where we help you articulate your audience, brand, product offering, competitive landscape, culture and marketing strategy. Based on these discussions, we will guide you through our proven website creation process as follows:
- Architecture & Planning. We’ll create a custom website strategy for your organization, including sitemap, user flows, messaging, and key wireframes.
- Content Creation. We’ll write or edit text, and gather appropriate photos/videos for your website.
- Visual Design. We’ll create a website look & feel that matches the website strategy we’ve defined together. Then we’ll build out designs for key site pages.
- Code. We’ll convert approved visual designs into pixel-perfect front-end website code, which will then be applied to a content management system (CMS) for easier building and management. We’ll program the site to adapt as appropriate on mobile/tablet devices, and we’ll perform extensive QA testing on all major browser/OS combinations.
- Content Loading. We’ll migrate content from your existing site and/or load in new content that has been created as appropriate.
- Launch & Training. We’ll archive your old site and launch your new one. We’ll also train you on how to update and care for your site going forward.
Custom Websites take 8-12 weeks to build, and are priced individually, starting at $15,000.
Template-Based Website Development
Template-based websites are great for simpler projects that don’t need high-end graphic design or custom code, such as a campaign or event site, or a small business site that isn’t really being advertised. In a template-based build, you’ll choose from a bank of pre-made website design concepts, then work with Skyhook to fill in your content (text, images, videos) and apply your visual branding (logo, colors, fonts). The process goes as follows:
- Content Planning & Creation. We’ll help you plan out the pages of your site, then work with you to assemble, edit, and/or create new content (text, images, videos) to be used throughout the site.
- Platform Setup. We’ll set up a server environment, then install & configure your chosen template so that it matches your brand’s look & feel
- Content Loading. We’ll migrate content from your existing site and/or load in new content that has been created as appropriate.
- Launch & Training. We’ll archive your old site and launch your new one. We’ll also train you on how to update and care for your site going forward.
Template-Based Websites take 6-8 weeks to build and are priced individually, starting at $7,000.
