Our Design Process

From Brief to Brilliant: Our Simple 6-Step Process

Discovery & Strategy

Before we begin designing your website, we take the time to understand your business goals and identify your target audience to ensure every design decision resonates with the right people. We review competitor websites to spot opportunities for your site to stand out, then work with you to define clear website objectives. Together, we'll discuss the features and functionality you need and establish a realistic project timeline. This discovery phase ensures we create a website that looks exceptional and delivers real results for your business.

Planning & Structure

Once we understand your goals, we create a detailed site map that outlines your website's structure and navigation. We carefully plan each page's structure and develop a content strategy that speaks directly to your audience while supporting your business objectives. By mapping out user journeys, we ensure visitors can easily find what they need and take the actions you want them to take. Our wireframe development brings these plans to visual life, showing you exactly how each page will be laid out before we move into design. Throughout this phase, we document detailed feature specifications so everyone knows exactly what functionality your website will include and how it will work.

Design & Branding

We create custom design concepts tailored specifically to your business, seamlessly integrating your brand elements including your logo, colours, and fonts to ensure consistency across every page. You'll receive detailed visual mockups for all key pages, showing exactly how your website will look before any coding begins. We include unlimited design revisions in our standard process because we want you to be completely satisfied with the result. Every design is crafted with both mobile and desktop layouts to ensure your site looks stunning on any device. Most importantly, we won't move forward to development until you've given your full approval, ensuring the final design perfectly matches your vision.

Development & Build

Once designs are approved, our professional coding brings your website to life with clean, reliable code that meets industry standards. We set up a user-friendly content management system so you can easily update your site whenever needed. Every page is built with mobile-responsive implementation to ensure flawless performance across all devices, while our speed optimisation techniques guarantee fast loading times that keep visitors engaged. We handle the technical SEO setup from the ground up, giving your site the best foundation for search engine visibility. All essential functionality including contact forms and other features are thoroughly integrated and tested to work seamlessly, ensuring your website not only looks great but performs brilliantly for your business.

Content & SEO

We create SEO-optimised page content that speaks to your audience while naturally integrating relevant keywords that help you rank in search results. Every page receives carefully crafted meta titles and descriptions designed to improve click-through rates from search engines. All images are optimised for fast loading without sacrificing quality, and we implement schema markup to help search engines better understand your content and display rich results. To track your website's performance from day one, we set up Google Analytics so you can see exactly how visitors find and interact with your site. This comprehensive SEO foundation ensures your website is built not just to look good, but to be found by the customers searching for your services.

Testing & Launch

Before your website goes live, we conduct thorough cross-browser testing to ensure it works flawlessly on all major browsers, along with mobile device testing across different screen sizes and platforms. We perform comprehensive speed and performance checks to guarantee fast loading times, and complete a full SEO audit to verify all optimisation elements are properly implemented. We provide client training so you feel confident managing and updating your website independently. Once everything has been tested, approved, and you're comfortable with the system, it's time to go live! We handle the launch process smoothly, ensuring your new website makes its debut without a hitch and is ready to start delivering results for your business.
