Our Simple Website Design Process
Here are some basic steps we use to create your site:
1 State of the Union
If you already have an online presence, we take a look at your current messaging and design. If website analytics are available, we will analyze what can be improved upon for the new site design.
2 Return on Investment (R.O.I.)
With the help of a thorough questionnaire, we gain a better understanding of the types of clients that provide you the best Return on Investment. By doing this, we can better prioritize your site’s messaging, positioning and content.
3 Site Structure
Your site should be designed in such a way that makes the most sense to your site visitors and to search engines like Google. We organize your web pages into a wireframe that will act as a blueprint for your website. With sound site structure, you will have a new site that will engage site visitors and make it easy for search engines to index your content.
4 Mockup
Before the site actually gets coded and goes live, we design a PDF mockup that will allow you to see and edit the design before it launches. Your new site design will be created by our team of web design professionals. Our website designers are well versed in creating web designs that convert site visitors into customers. At this time, you will be able to suggest site design changes.
5 Coding Compliance
Upon approval, we will code your site design to work with all the major devices (desktop computers, laptops, mobile devices, pads, etc…) and with all major web browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome etc…). Not only will your site look good, but we will also optimize the site to load quickly on any device. With a quick load time, site visitors are more likely to stay on your site and not lose patience. In addition, we adhere to W3C coding standards.
6 Customized Content Management System (CMS)
Depending on your needs and the direction you would like to go with your site, we can install and customize a content management system that is right for you. Common open source CMS platforms include WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magneto, Open Cart and Zen Cart.
7 Personalization
Your site’s content may be written by you, your staff or our staff. If time is of the essence, you may want to use our content writers. Our team of writers have written articles and web pages on just about every topic imaginable. They know how to write content that not only appeals to site visitors, but to the search engines as well.
Not only will your content be personalized, so will the photography on your site. With website photos, you have the option of supplying us the photos and/or utilizing our extensive database of photography. We can also set up a photo session to capture just the right moment and setting.
8 Site Changes & Marketing
There will always be some aspect of your website that can be improved upon. Over time, your business needs, messaging, content and direction may change. No matter what the reason, we can help fine tune your website as needed to get you the best return on investment.
