Where is Stadia Studio based out of?

We are physically based out of St. Louis, MO. We have graphic designers and website programmers on staff who work remotely. Stadia Studio's owner serves as the Single Point of Contact (SPoC) for our clients and is available via phone, email, Skype, text message and instant message consistently. We work for clients throughout North America and beyond very effectively.

When we are working to complete a professional website for a client, we're often asked what our process is and how we can develop a website without face-to-face meetings. First, we use email as our primary communication tool. We send our clients a series of emails during the development process that outline what their next steps are, what questions we need answered, and discuss what we're working on. By using email, we can provide this information to a client in a way that they can deal with it when it's convenient for them. By receiving the responses via email, we can easily share them among team members and refer back the included information at any time during the course of the project. (We have also provided online instructions and additional information with regard to these initial emails here.)

Design drafts are emailed to clients as PDF files which can be shared and printed as needed.

The website in development is placed on a private Stadia Studio server and the URL is shared with the client. Again, this facilitates the client being able to review and share development progress as their convenience.

Conference calls, group instant messages and even Video conferencing is scheduled as needed to discuss complex topics, provide training, and review development progress. For our more complex projects, we may also utilize online task tools like BaseCamp to communicate site development progress. We have an internal project management system that we use, so such tools are only used when needed for the client's benefit.

With this development process and procedures in place, we can avoid some of the issues and delays that trying to schedule on site meetings can cause.
