Design and development process
It's important that the design and development process is flexible enough to meet your specific needs. The following guide gives you a rough indication of the development steps typically involved.
Discovery
We ask you to complete the website design questionnaire and email it back to us. Alternatively, if you have one, you provide us with your detailed website design brief and any specific requirements.
Step 1: Discovery
Quote and Proposal
We supply you with a detailed quote based on the information and website requirements you have submitted to-date. If you feel the quote is acceptable we follow up with a comprehensive website design proposal.
Step 2: Quote and Proposal
Site Planning/Mapping
An initial meeting takes place. We discuss your target audience, site-branding and clarify your message. We work on creating a detailed website map, discuss functionality, accessibility, usability and plan a coherent SEO strategy.
Step 3: Site Planning and Mapping
Visual Design / Compositions
We create a set of bespoke static layouts (desktop and Mobile) depicting the look and feel of your website. Revision and changes take place based on target audience specific feedback. After final approval the layouts are signed off.
Step 4: Visuals and Composition
Coding and Server Side Work
The static layouts are converted into working HTML templates. Server side work commences including installation of the CMS. The CMS is configured to reflect your specific requirements and website templates are incorporated into the CMS. The website structure is created mirroring the website map.
Step 5: Coding and Server Side Work
Content, Launch and Training
We add your final content to your website via the CMS. A CMS training session is arranged so you can update / manage your website independently. After rigorous checks the website is launched.
Step 6: Checks, Training and Launch
