A requirements study is completed to define the customer's requirements and a requirement report is generated. The communication media with the client would be through telecom, email and/or a personal interaction. The requirement definition report is forwarded to the client for approval. The requirements document would define the proposed web-site's functionality, target users, user-interface, aesthetic "look & feel", media and technological boundaries.

The client organization would be responsible for providing the content for the design and development of the proposed web-site. An analysis of this content would be required to understand its purpose in fulfilling strategic Internet objectives. The client organization's presence on the World Wide Web would be planned accordingly. Tripmedia could offer suggestions in providing new material and/or formatting content that would effectively complement an innovative web design for the client organization.

The design would be conceptualized following the accord of the client on requirements and content. The design concept would effectively mirror the customer's requirements and would aim to realize the purpose of the site in terms of the needs, expectations of prospective target users.

The interface design would be consistent with the client organization's requirements, the functionality enabled on the web site, and would offer a desirable front end presentation interface as outlined in the requirements document.

A prototype design based on client user requirements would be created and demonstrated to the client over the Internet for critique and approval. The prototype would constitute a representation of the user interface and navigation within the application. On the client organization's accord, the following stages of the project would be realized to provide a complete working model of the application.

This marks the development of media assets such as graphics, animation (if required), still images, text format etc. Content material such as photographs; pictures would then be converted to Internet format.

At this stage the various media assets would be integrated & authored contingent on the design criteria, navigation and capabilities of the host server.

Testing of the application would commence following the integration of its various parts to provide the complete functionality outlined in the requirements specifications and design criteria. Testing procedures are consistent with the test plan. The acceptance of the final test results would ensure that the application is bug-free, operationally accurate and visually on target. This stage would also constitute the final evaluation that the integrated application fulfills the criteria that has, at the outset, been outlined by the client organization.

The application/web-site is deployed following the multiple tests to confirm its functionality. At this stage, the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are handed over to the client organization.

Maintenance activities are conducted as per the maintenance plan if the same is specified in the contract.
