Designing a Successful Website

Designing a website, or any design, is a process that requires certain key elements: creativity, research, hard work and communication. Your website is an organic digital product that will deliver a return on investment. It will help to communicate an effective message to help grow your brand and customer base. Outlined below, in simple terms, are the steps required in designing a successful website.

Discovery Process

Defining a roadmap is the first step.  It is here where budgets are discussed, scheduling defined, sitemap outlined and vision realized.  This process of discovery will insure a successful website that meets everyone’s expectations and goals.

Design Stage

A layout will be outlined using a simple wireframe approach.  Like a blueprint, wireframing will helps define the general design direction.  Once approved, the design process begins. Using client, stock and custom assets (logos, photos, written content, etc…) a comprehensive layout and intuitive design will be developed that will echo your brand and vision. A style guide will also be developed during this stage, creating a digital library of assets that can then be easily accessed for future use.

The Build

Once the design is approved the development process (coding: CSS, HTML5 and JavaScript) begins and your vision is brought to life.  The site is staged on a private test server. The website pages are populated with content, links, forms, responsive functionality and basic SEO elements implemented.  The website will not only look shiny, on the outside, but under the hood will be a well-oiled machine.

Testing

The website functionality is tested on a variety of platforms as well as different devices and browsers. The goal is to have a consistent user experience across all viewing points.

Go Live

We will coordinate with the hosting provider to insure a smooth and successful website launch. We will continue to monitor the site and backup the site after any updates. Professionalism, reliability and quick response time is something we pride ourself on.
