Our 8 step Web Design process
01 – SCOPE MEETING – 3 HOURS
We start, with a sit-down and de-brief. This meeting is an opportunity to get to know each other, discuss the goals and also share our thoughts on the project. We encourage any stakeholder to be part of this process so we don’t miss anyone’s input. We discuss onboarding, platform, training, colours, brand, features, images & of course log-ins to all relevant social media platforms and communication portals.
02 – KEYWORDS & LANDSCAPE – 1 WEEK
Following our de-brief we will get to work looking at the current landscape of your business, the personas of the ideal clients & where their attention is focussed. We research the industry keywords and of course competition analysis and on-page SEO.
03 – LETS MAKE IT PRETTY – 3 WEEKS
Using the full Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, we design the base site and create the layout grids for mobile, desktop and tablets. This is where we can get very creative in the way we use sections, columns, features, AI images, your photos and text as well as movements to build the engaging and visually exciting website design. Building on the work we did at the beginning, we use the personas and keyword research to create a site that takes your visitors from search inquiries to buying intent.
04 – LETS TAKE A LOOK – 2 DAYS
As soon as we are happy with the design we create a 3-page website demo for you to get a realistic feel of the design & how it performs. This demo will be fully mobile responsive and provide a great way for you and your team to analyse the design and performance.
05 – TIME FOR THE DEV – 3 WEEKS
Love the mock-up? When you approve the design in principle we get started building the site. We take the layouts, content, site map & create all of the pages and navigation ready to hand over to you for inspection and testing. At this point we take a step back and allow you & your team to get under the hood of the site & snag-test it.
06 – ACTING ON FEEDBACK – 2 WEEKS
Once your team delivers its feedback we get started making the amends. We then present this back to you for up to three rounds of amends until we have a finished & ready-for-publication website.
07- TWEEKS AND SEO – 1 WEEK
With a 99% completed site we get started tweaking the on-page and technical SEO & prepare the pages with SEO-friendly URLs, Meta page titles, meta descriptions, & ready the site for indexing to Google Search Console.
08 – LETS GO! – Contact us today to start your next project
When we have finished, we give the site one more stress test & make sure all internal & external links work & that our automations & forms are working. We then go live after editing the domain DNS and checking all is working OK before handing the site over to you & the team. Once that’s done, we start the training of your team to use the page templates we have created, edit forms, create new content and of course discuss any final teaching requirements.
