Web Design Process

Step 01: Discovery & Kick-Off

Getting to Know Your Business

• We start with a conversation. What are your goals? Who are your customers? What makes your brand unique?
• We’ll discuss your current website (if you have one), audit its strengths & weaknesses, and get clear on what success looks like.
• We assign your Project Manager so you always have a consistent point of contact.

Result: A documented brief: goals, target audience, features, initial sitemap, timeline, and budget.

Step 02: Strategy & Planning

Building the Blueprint

• Competitor research & market positioning — seeing what others are doing, what works, and what can set you apart.
• SEO planning early on — keywords, page structure, content outlines.
• Technical scoping — CMS choice, integrations, performance, accessibility, hosting.

Result: Strategy document + project plan + rough wireframes or content structure (site map) to guide design.

Step 03: Content Creation & Messaging

Crafting Words & Visuals That Connect

• Copywriting: how you tell your story, what your visitors need to know, in what voice.
• Content mapping: which pages, sections, images, calls to action.
• If needed: image sourcing or photo direction; deciding what graphics or visuals will enrich the design.

Result: Final content ready (or nearly ready) to drop in — text, images, multimedia assets.

Step 04: UX & Design Mockups

Bringing Ideas to Life Visually

• Wireframes / low-fidelity mockups to establish layout & structure.
• Design comps: visual design, branding, typography, color, imagery.
• Iteration: getting feedback, refining until design feels right, intuitive, visually aligned with your brand.

Result: Approved design mockups for key pages (e.g. homepage, interior page, mobile view), style guide as needed.

Step 05: Development & Testing

Turning Designs into a Working Website

• Building in a staging environment (not live yet) so you can see progress without risk.
• Responsive design: making it look great on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Functionality: forms, integrations, interactive features.
• Quality Assurance (QA): cross-browser testing, performance (speed), accessibility checks, security.

Result: Full working website prototype ready for final review.

Step 06: Client Review & Revisions

Fine-Tuning Before the Big Launch

• You review the site in staging. We capture feedback and make necessary tweaks.
• Verify content is placed, images work, features function, responsive displays correctly.
• Final polish: edge-case fixes, minor adjustments.

Result: You sign off; everything is ready for production.

Step 07: Launch

Taking Your Website Live

• Move site from staging to live environment.
• Domain, hosting, DNS, SSL, analytics — all configured properly.
• Final testing in live setting.

Result: Your site is live to the world 🎉

Step 08: Training & Handover

Empowering You to Manage Your Site

• We’ll walk you (or your team) through how to use the CMS, edit content, update images, etc.
• Documentation or short guides are provided as needed.
• Support window after launch, to catch anything unexpected.

Step 09: Maintenance & Growth

Keeping Your Website Strong & Future-Ready

• Website upkeep: security, backups, performance monitoring.
• Analytics & optimization: tracking traffic, conversions, refining content or UI based on data.
• Ongoing improvements: new features, A/B testing, SEO refinement.
