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.
