Website Design
You have a unique story and it is our job to tell that story
through your website.
Getting 'Over' Getting Started
Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part. Trying to get organized
and begin work on project in unfamiliar territory can seem like a
daunting task. During our initial conversation, we encourage you
to ask us a lot of questions because we want you to feel confident
that we can work together and design a website that is right you.
Defining Your Website Goals
What is the purpose of your website?
Who do you want to visit your website?
What do you want your visitors to do?
How will you get them to do it?
These are some of the questions we ask you when we sit down to talk
about designing your website. We will discuss what your short term
/ long term goals are and how we can achieve these goals. You have
a unique story and it is our job to tell that story through your
website.
Organizing Your Website Content
Once we have clearly defined your goals, we will start mapping out
your content. We organize your written content and images in a logical
way so your visitors can find the information they came looking for
in the fewest amount of 'clicks' as possible. We can help you decide
what type of content to provide and can even assist in writing the
content with you if necessary.
Creating a Design That Is Right For You
After finalizing the website content, we will start working on the
design. Usually we will ask you to show us a few examples of websites
that you like and why you like them. We will also ask you to show
us a few examples of websites that you find to be outright awful
and what it is about those sites that make you feel that way. This
will help us get an idea of what your design likes and dislikes are
so we can design a website that suits your taste.
We encourage you to provide us with as much design inspiration as
you’d like. It’s not uncommon for clients to show us pages torn from
magazines or even simple sketches drawn on napkins to help illustrate
what they are looking for in a design.
You will be presented with two mockups to review, one of the website
home page and the other a sub-page. You'll have option to make any
changes if needed. When you approve your website design we will begin
building the actual website pages.
Charting the Progress
As we build your website, you will be able to view the progress
in a password-protected area on our server. When the site is finished
you will be asked to review it and make any last minutes changes
if needed.
Launching Your Website
Upon your final approval we will launch your website. We can host
your website for you and provide you with a program that will allow
you to monitor your website traffic so you can see how visitors are
finding you. Website maintenance can also be arranged so you can
keep your new site up to date.
