FLASH: Flash Processes and Procedures

[Shaina Boone]

     We are currently in the process of writing a Flash Processes and

     Procedures document to give to our clients and I was wondering what types

     of procedures other webshops are using. I am looking for some response to

     the random group of questions I have listed below. You do not have to

     respond to all of them of course any help you give will be appreciated. If

     anyone has ideas or suggestions I would be most thankful!

     

     1. What is your approximate or standard timeline you propose to your

     client to build an entire site in Flash? (I am aware that there are

     thousands of possiblities so if anyone has url�s they can give with the

     amount of time spent from start(design concepts) to finish (final testing)

     that would probably be best.)

     

     2. If you were to answer the question, "Why use Flash?" what would your

     answer be?

     

     3. With the release of Flash 4 how have you been telling your clients that

     if they want these great new features MP3, video, ecommerce, etc., their

     viewers will have to download the plug-in again?

     

     4. We have a standard process we have been using to ensure the client a

     perfect animation. It is composed of a few simple steps. After initial

     client meetings and we are ready to begin creating the Flash content we

     require all approved  copy to be in our hands. Then we build a concept/

     storyboard based on this copy. Once this is signed off on and approved

     then we begin building the flash animation. About half way through we post

     the animation just to make sure the client is aware of what we are doing

     and at that time they are free to make changes. If the changes are deemed

     "significant" the animator can request more time and the client can be

     charged more where necessary. When we are finished it must be posted on

     the final server for testing purposes. 

     

     The above is of course a simplified version of the process but it is  the

     basic steps. With that in mind I am wondering if anyone has a      process

     that is very different from this and if so would you please      share.

     

     Sincerely

     Miss Boone
