Website Design Process

1. Discovery & Strategy
Developing a strategy

The Discovery phase is all about understanding your business, audience, and goals to create a conversion-focused website. We collaborate with you to create goals and vision for your site, ensuring your website serves a clear purpose—whether it’s increasing sales, generating leads, or showcasing your expertise.
By aligning the design with your objectives, we build a custom solution that drives meaningful results for your business.

2. Wireframing & Sitemapping
User-focused sitemaps

We create black-and-white wireframes that serve as the blueprint for your website’s, need-to-have pages. This stage focuses on structuring the site for optimal user experience, addressing strategy, user intent, and site architecture while factoring in SEO.

The interactive sitemaps are made through Octopus.do and viewable in a browser by all clients. This allows us to collaborate on structure and content. They also give a big picture view of the site and an early feel for the user experience and flow and sets the foundation for the website’s navigation and user interaction.

We use Basecamp to streamline communication and keep projects organized. It serves as a central hub for all project-related discussions, files, and progress updates. Clients can easily upload and store assets, while our team provides transparent, real-time progress reports. With everything in one place, from timelines to task lists, Basecamp ensures that both our team and clients are on the same page, making collaboration efficient and the project process smooth and clear.

Our goal is to create a seamless, intuitive journey, the design not only looks great but also enhances user experience and gets results.

Hand-off to development

We focus on building a fast, efficient site using a lightweight WordPress theme that prioritizes speed and performance. We integrate Elementor, a highly rated WordPress page builder, which allows for intuitive drag-and-drop editing. This gives clients the flexibility to easily make updates or edits in the future without needing extensive technical knowledge.

Throughout development, we ensure the site is optimized for speed, security, and SEO, all while maintaining a seamless user experience across devices.

Search Engine Optimization

We ensure your website is set up for SEO success from the start. By implementing correct technical SEO, we create a clean site architecture and URL structure that makes it easy for Google to crawl and index your pages. We optimize on-page SEO by using targeted keywords in key areas like meta titles, descriptions, and headers, helping your site rank higher in relevant search queries.

We fine-tune other technical aspects such as mobile-friendliness and fast load times, which are crucial factors Google considers when ranking websites, ensuring your site has the best possible chance to appear at the top of search results.

7. Quality Assurance & User Testing
Pre-launch testing

We conduct a thorough review to ensure the website is ready for launch. Our team uses a detailed 150-point checklist to cover all aspects of functionality, design accuracy, and performance, both pre-launch and post-launch. This process includes user testing and UX audits by real people to evaluate the overall user experience.

We also complete a comprehensive SEO audit, verifying that all technical SEO elements, such as meta tags, URL structure, and page speed, are optimized for search engine visibility. This rigorous process ensures no small detail is missed, guaranteeing a polished, high-performing website that meets both your business goals and industry standards before going live.
