Discovery and Defintion

This is where the foundation for a successful website is made. This critical stage involves understanding your goals, target audience, and desired functionalities for the website. By investing time and effort in the discovery and definition phase, we ensure the website delivers your requested features and functionality.

Site architecture

Spending time on the website architecture is the foundation of any good web project. This involves categorizing and structuring the content in a logical manner. Users should be able to easily find what they are looking for. Here we organize the site navigation and content to define relationships between different pages.

Wireframing

Wireframing is the process of creating the black and white “skeleton” to outline the website’s layout. Here we focus on the placement of key elements. Website wireframes allow us to review and easily adjust crucial pieces of the organization before any true development time begins.

Website Development

During the web development stage of a web site build we are actually coding out the new website online. We start in a local development environment and then move the site live in stages as sections of the site are ready to be reviewed. Once the site is completed we optimize for mobile, test across devices and browsers, and then send the site live for all to see!

Discovery and Defintion

Just like any project, having a good foundation is key. The Discovery and Definition stage creates a deep understanding of your audience, goals, and what you want to get out of your website.

We work closely with you to identify the goals and objectives of your website.This includes understanding the purpose of the website, whether it’s to increase brand awareness, generate leads, sell products, or provide information.

We analyze competitors and industry leader websites to identify elements that we like and dislike. Reviewing these sites helps us create a unique and compelling online presence for your brand that you’ll love and we know will be a sucess.

Outling what content will be included on the site is crucial. Even just identifying the types of content needed, such as text, images, videos, and downloadable resources helps to plan ahead. Then we establish a plan for organizing and structuring the content to ensure optimal user experience and SEO.

Lastly we review the features and functionality that you want indluded on the site. This covers e-commerce catalogs, contact forms, organized CTAs, user profiles, user portals, social media integration, or any other higher-end functionality that you may need.

By investing time and effort here, we can ensure that the end result will meet your specific requirements.

Site Architecture

website information architecture

Addressing the architecture of the site is a crucial step in creating a well-organized and user-friendly website. Here we focus first on the navigation then on the order of the content displayed on each page of the site.

We’ll start by laying the content out into logical groups. We need to make sure it makes sense to both you as the owner but also to a consumer coming into the site.

Information heirarchy is where we determine which of the information takes priority over other information. Top selling products and services should be prominent, while less important content can be moved down into subcategories or secondary pages.

Once we know this information we can lay out the navigation structure of the website into understandable menu(s) as needed.

This stage of planning helps us to make sure users can easily find what they are looking for but more importantly, a well-structured website helps to improve search engine optimization (SEO).

Wireframing

What we call the wireframing stage is a vital step in the design process of your website. Here we focus is on creating the visual blueprint or “skeleton” of the website. Wireframing involves outlining the layout and placement of key elements without incorporating detailed design elements or colors.

This stage allows us to work through the layout of key elements such as the header, navigation, content sections, CTAs, sidebar, footer, and any other essential components that the site may require.

Addressing the content layout during the wireframing stage helps to keep the project time and our overall costs down. It’s far more efficient to work throuigh and edit the layout when working within wireframes than in actual design documents or even when coding out the site.

It’s also a great team exercise and opportunity to gather feedback from other company owners to ensure nothing is missing before going to design and development.

It is easier and less time-consuming to modify wireframes compared to making changes during the later stages of development.

Remember these wireframes are NOT intended to be visually appealing. Wireframes are used to present (in black and white) the layout and structure rather than the final aesthetics. Once the wireframes are approved, we can move on to the fun stuff!

Custom Web Design

Let’s have some fun and bring your online presence to life! Unlike using pre-designed templates or generic themes we provide custom web designs to make sure your website is as unique as your business.

During the custom web design stage we work witinin your brand guidelines to deliver a website that plays into your brand identity. It’s important that when users arrive at your website, they are captured by the essence of your brand.

Creating a custom web design makes sure your site is visually appealing but also that it aligns with your goals and marketing strategy.

From colors to font choices and gorgeous imagery, every element is chosen to enhance your brand statement on the web.

As your business evolves and grows, your website can easily adapt to accommodate new features, functionalities, and content. Custom designs provide the foundation for future expansion, enabling seamless integration with additional tools and technologies as your needs change.

Custom web design gives you the opportunity to set your business apart from the competition.

Website Development

3D-Product-Rendering-Family-Shot1

Once the first four stages are complete, we can get started bringing your website to life on the internet! While we are proficient in many languages out there, it’s becoming more and more common to build websites that are leveraging a CMS or content management system.

CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal are nice since website owners can manage and update their content easily without having to rely on a development team at all times.

We’ll start by building the site in a development environment and then releasing progress in stages for you to review.

After the website is built to completion, we’ll “beta” test the website’s functionality, performance, and compatibility across different devices and browsers making sure all users across the web have a good experience.

Before going live with any site, we optimize it per Google Developer requirements to improve the site’s speed, performance, and search engine visibility. Techniques such as image compression, code minification, caching, and SEO optimization are implemented to enhance the site’s overall performance.

After your final review and you give us the green light, we deploy the site on your server and URL so it’s visibie to the public. Here we can help purchase and establish hosting as needed, configuration your domain DNS settings, and move the website from our development environment to the live server.
