Business Solution - Proposal 02/09/2009

1. Management Summary

This document outlines the proposal for the design and development of a bespoke website for ATS.

The new website will act as a presence to promote the corporate identity of the business and act as an information point for new and existing customers.

The importance of the website is to enable the company to increase their brand awareness – providing the technology to help them remain at the forefront of their industry over the competition. The website will be designed to be scalable, allowing additional features to be added in the future.

2. Solution Overview

To capture the customer’s attention when visiting the website, PH New Media proposes to develop a series of ‘unique selling points’ to promote ATS. The USP messages will be snappy phrases that will be used throughout the website in rotating animated banners. It is suggested that the USPs created are used in all promotional activity to create synergy between the company’s advertising.

To maximise the visitor’s experience and aid in the management of the website, PH New Media proposes to include the below features:

Bespoke design service – PH New Media focus on delivering websites that fit with the client’s brand image and perception in the market. Usability and navigation is also taken into consideration during the design stage and internal testing is completed to ensure that the end-user experience is optimised.

Branding – PH New Media propose to create new branding to differentiate the different divisions within ATS. The branding will be used throughout the website and also supplied to ATS to rollout across all offline print media.

Gallery – The website will feature a gallery section that will be used to display images of previous jobs completed.

Google Analytics – The advanced statistics package provided by Google will be used to monitor the performance of the ATS website. Permissions will be granted to view the reports generated by the system. In addition PH New Media will make recommendations on changes to the website based on the results of the analytics.

Google Maps – Google Maps will be used on the website to display the location of the business.

Website hosting – The ATS website will be hosted in the PH New Media ‘class one’ Data centre. The dedicated Account Manger will act as a primary point of contact for all technical support queries.

Email and domain support – POP3 email setup and support is provided as an option with the website. PH New Media can also work with existing suppliers if required.

Dedicated Account Manager – ATS will be designated a dedicated Account Manager who will be the company’s main point of contact.

Design and Development process – At the beginning of the project, ATS will be presented with a project schedule. The project schedule will highlight when input is required from the client. The benefit of this approach is that the process is becomes very transparent and no time is wasted.

3. Our Approach

QMS - Quality Management SystemAll projects at PH New Media are executed within the framework of its Quality Management System (QMS). The QMS requires the project to be broken up into the following processes:

Mechanism / Site SpecificationThe Project Management Plan will be prepared in this phase. The project plan will contain the detailed schedule with milestones, review mechanism and training details.Project Steering representative initialised from the client. This individual will conduct periodic reviews and resolve issues pertaining to the project.

Conceptualising / Design MappingWe can storyboard the interpretation of requirements to ensure that the client is entirely happy that an accurate reflection of the vision of the site has been achieved. We view this phase as essential as it helps iron out any issues before time is committed to actual implementation.

Design Production / Technical FrameworkDesign the GUI Graphical User Interface and navigation system details as per signed-off final requirement. The templates to be used for key screens will be identified. Sample screens will be used to demonstrate the look and feel of the application to ensure that ATS are entirely happy it meets with both their expectations and brand identity requirements.

Software Development and Unit TestingThe development of any content management system is intensive. Internally we have created a structured procedure to deal with new content builds and plug-ins to existing clients. Our testing services are tailored to client needs to insure that the software works in the intended environment.

Integration TestingTo evaluate the design workings of your content management system we continually test for poor connectivity as we follow the project schedule. Tests are completed by different members of staff not involved with the project to assure the administration section and front end web interface communicate correctly.

User Acceptance TestingNominated company representatives will be asked to walk through each section of the site to not only check for errors, but also ensure that the site meets objectives for user-friendliness.

Training / Post Implementation SupportPH New Media shall provide ATS users with training on how to use the administration section. Online help / training is also provided with every software application we build.
