From creating the initial plan to completing the launching process, there are many steps that go into designing a website. In most cases, the web design process follows 6 steps or phases from start to completion.
- Gather information—During this phase, the web designer will determine the purpose of the website, the business’ main goals, and the target audience the website should be appealing to. We also start writing copy, based on our goals, and we start planning the photo shoot, to create beautiful photographic images to use on your website.
- Planning—Based on the information that was gathered in phase 1, we create a sitemap, and decided on pages, and posts, we need to meet our goals.
- Design—During the design phase, page layouts will be created and filled with visual content including colours, placeholder text, and placeholder images to demonstrate the basic functionality of the site and to provide you with a good idea of what the finished product will look like.
- Content writing and photography—The content writing phase involves writing catchy headlines, writing blocks of text for each of the pages, and proofreading. We edit and prepare original photos captured to use on your website.
- Development—While the content is being written for the site, the development of the website should also be underway. The graphic elements that were designed during phase 3 will be used as a template for developing the actual website.
- Review, test, and launch—Once the website has been fully populated with content and images, it will be thoroughly reviewed and tested to ensure that everything is functioning properly. The web design team will also ask you to review the website to make sure you are satisfied with the final results. With your approval, the site will be launched.
Optional
- Maintenance and regular updates—We backup, update, and keep an eye on security for you.
