Steps in carrying out a website design and development project.
Project Definition
Once you contact us about your website project, we will send you a form to fill out. This way, we can find out more about what your requirements are.
Project Scope
This is one of the most important steps in web development. Once we have the full picture of exactly what you are looking for, we will provide a quote, with an approximate timeframe for completing your website design and development project. If you are happy to proceed with our services, we will begin your website project.
Wireframes and Site Architecture
Site architecture includes the sitemap and wireframes of pages. You may already have an idea of your website layout, and wish to provide us with this plan. We welcome your ideas, and will work with you, otherwise we will design them for you. Creating the sitemap outlines the key pages in the site, showing their relationship to each other and defining how the sites overall navigation should be structured. Wireframes provides a detailed view of the content that will appear on each page. Even they don’t show any actual design elements, the wireframes provide a guide for defining content hierarchy on the page.
This is an example of a wireframe.
Visual Design
The next step is to create a visual style. More than likely the overall visual style will be determined by the visual brand of your organisation. Your brand plays an important role in this part of the process, as designers we want to visually convey key brand perceptual ideas within the design. It is good business practice to use your business logo and overall design ie banner, site colours etc with not only your website, but also your social media accounts. Let your customers know it is you, with one glance.
Site Development
Once you are completely happy with your proposed website, it’s time to implement the design of the pages, develop new content or refine old content, create slideshows, or other design features we decided on.
Site Testing
Before the site is launched, it will be placed on a production server. We will provide you with the link, to be able to see your completed, fully tested website before it goes live. Testing of the site is critical as there will inevitably be issues that need to be sorted before the site goes live. You can be confident that we will not put your site live, until you are completely happy.
Launch
Once we have thoroughly tested the site, had it reviewed and approved by you, your website will be ready to launch.
Website Maintenance
Websites need constant care and maintenance. Updating content, making changes to the backend and fixing broken links are all in a day’s work. You can opt to do the maintenance yourself, and we will give you some training and guidance how to do this yourself, or alternatively, for a nominal fee, we can do all this for you.
