Listed below are the four basic stages that you can expect us to follow for your website design and development. Of course, the number of steps within each stage may vary depending on the size and complexity of your website in terms of design and functionality requirements. 

STAGE 1/ Brand & Business Discovery
A. Desktop Research – Assessment of your competitors and industry leaders for an understanding of how best to position your business.
B. Stakeholder Workshop – Meeting with your team members to ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of expectations as to how the website needs to look and function, and what it needs to say.

STAGE 2/ Website Design, Refinement & Development
Here we start to develop the design for your website based on the workshop outcomes, allowing for any changes you need before moving to the website development stage.

STAGE 3/ Website Development
Front end development (how the site looks to visitors), as well as back end development (which is the CMS content management system where you can make edits) based on approved design. This is done on our staging environment.

STAGE 4/ Website Deployment & Hosting
We make your new site go live either on our server, or with your trusted hosting partner. We also provide training on how to use the back-end so that you can carry out minor changes yourself. 

Complete control and clarity. That’s what you can expect throughout the process. Your feedback is sought and implemented at every stage ensuring that the site is built exactly to your needs and exceeds your expectations. The solutions we provide are based on your budget so you can be sure they are achievable. Any extras or additions will always be clarified at the outset and will only proceed based on your approval.

STAGE 1/ Brand & Business Discovery
This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our understanding of your business, the goals you’re looking to achieve, and the role the website needs to play. It’s also a time to share our design vision for your site. It’s also an opportunity for you and your team to clarify any issues so we are all clear on how best to proceed to the design stage.

STAGE 2/ Website Design, Refinement & Development
Our design vision comes to life along with imagery and messaging. You get to see how this design applies to various page templates and whether this matches your requirements. You can suggest changes to imagery and text to ensure the end-customer has complete clarity about your product or service.

STAGE 3/ Website Development
One more opportunity to ensure that the site looks and functions as discussed, and as you expect. By the time, all your feedback has been implemented and usually only minor text edits remain, if any.

STAGE 4/ Website Deployment & Hosting
The training session helps you and your team understand how to make changes to text and imagery. Which means you don’t have to come to us for minor edits that you can make yourself.
