Our Process

These are the steps we take to make sure your website successfully communicates your company’s message.

Discovery

Before we can build you the perfect website we first have to make sure we know exactly what you need. We’ll send you a customer survey or schedule a meeting to discuss the overall scope of the project.

The majority of websites these days are built with some sort of content management control panel. This allows you to make updates to your website in a non-code environment. We have an unlimited number of options available, and if there is not anything that matches your needs we can build it from scratch. Once we have found the most feasible solution for your objective (and your budget!) we will be ready to start designing.

Time to Start Designing

The design process starts with us looking at your existing brand elements – business cards, letterhead, packaging, and signage. We want to ensure your website is easily identified as being uniquely yours. We like to try and involve you as much as possible in the design process, so we start by creating an initial design comp. We’ll post it online so you can view the website design in a browser just like any other website. Through a series of client-driven changes we tweak the website to your liking.

Don’t forget the Content

Writing good content can be a challenge, but nobody knows your business as well as you. While we work on the design you should spend some time thinking about what you want to say. The content you put on your website is the most important part of the project. This really should be emphasized, so I’ll say it a second time – the content on your website is the most important part of the project. Not only do your customers want to read about what you are offering, but search engines also look through your text and index the pages of your website based on what they find.

Writing the Code

The development process is when the website really starts to come to life. The flat design you have been looking at starts to take shape as a functioning website. The content you spent days or weeks writing is visible on the page.

The Revisions

You thought you had that text just right, but now that you see it on the page you magically have more to say. No problem. We always include a couple rounds of client-driven changes to ensure your message is just right.

Going Live

It’s finally done! It seems like it has taken forever, and you can’t believe how many times you have rewritten the copy. Time to make the website live! This is when it all finally pays off. The world will be able to access information about your company from anywhere on the planet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Updates

Of course don’t think your job is done just because the website is live. Updating and maintaining a website is an ongoing process, and changes are ultimately what keep people coming back!
