CUSTOM WEB DESIGN SERVICES

OUR PROCESS

Step 1: Consultation

This part is free! Tell us what you require for your website in broad terms, then we hone in on specifics to determine generally what the site would entail and cost. Afterwards – based on that conversation – we will simply create an itemized proposal with a quote, and if you are comfortable with the terms we will begin!

Step 2: Payment

All of our web design projects charge 50% up front and the remaining 50% when the client is satisfied and the site is officially launched. Most sites take 2-3 weeks to complete, though smaller sites can be completed within a week.

Step 3: Preparation

There are a number of items to address when planning and building a site, beginning with its appearance. We provide helpful tips and resources that will help you choose the fonts, colors, and an overall vibe for your site. A useful trick is to provide links to a few different existing sites that have qualities you want to incorporate which we can reference while building yours. You will also want to draft or assemble all of the content such as the text and images that will be used for the site. We utilize Dropbox and share folders with our clients in order to deposit those items with ease.

Step 4: Mockups

Once we have received the content we will create a couple of wireframes or mockups of what your site could potentially look like based on the examples given. This is a way to visualize the site’s appearance first before spending time building. Once approved, we will begin!

Step 5: Build the Website

This is where the code meets the road! We will begin building out the site and during this time we will create short personalized videos touring each page as it’s completed. The client can follow along with the process and provide feedback accordingly.

Step 6: Hands-On Tour

We will link the client to the site in test mode so that they can click around as if they were the user and get the full impression before signing off! Once everything is in order and the client signs off on the final product, the most exciting phase can begin!

Step 7: Launch

Time to launch your website and show it to the world! There are things that can be done to make launches more impactful, whether it be alerting your networks via social media or sites like LinkedIn, or – depending on your budget – you might want to engage in some marketing; these are topics we can advise you on before the big reveal!

Step 8: Support and Tutorials

After your site is launched, we will provide you with a series of video tutorials on your site’s CMS (Content Management System) with an array of tips and methods to keep your site healthy, secure and functional for years to come!

THIS IS YOUR WEBSITE!

We build our websites on third party servers owned by clients, that means you will have complete ownership and administrative access to your site regardless of who built it. We work primarily with WordPress, which dominates 43% of the market, not surprising due to its versatility. In fact, institutions like Rolling Stone, NASA and even The White House use WordPress for their official sites! Due to its popularity, you will ALWAYS be able to find somebody who can provide technical assistance, whether in-house or otherwise!

We can set everything up for you and hand over the keys when we’re done! However, if you would benefit from a third party to maintain and update your site we do offer administrative services for a fair monthly fee. If down the line you wish to add pages or content, we can assess each new project’s cost accordingly, and we offer discounted rates for ongoing clients!  Please feel free to consult us for any of these services!
