Our Web Design Process

A Thoughtful Process. A Better Website.

Creating a great website starts with understanding you. We take the time to learn about your business or organization, your goals, your audiences, and what you need your website to accomplish before we begin designing.

From discovery and content strategy through design, development and launch, we’ll guide you through every step of the process. You’ll always know where your project stands, what comes next, and when we need your input — making the experience collaborative, organized and as easy as possible.

Here’s what you can expect along the way:

Step 1

Discovery: We Start by Listening

We’ll get to know your business or organization, your audience, your goals, and what you want your new website to accomplish. Together, we’ll talk through content, navigation, functionality, and opportunities to make your website work better.

What you can expect: Website strategy + content sitemap

Step 2

Design: Bringing Your Vision to Life

We’ll translate everything we’ve learned into a visual direction for your new website, including layout, typography, colors, imagery and the overall user experience.

The goal isn’t to make your website look like everyone else’s. It’s to create a design that feels appropriate for you, connects with your audience, and supports what your website needs to accomplish.

What you can expect: Full-color design concepts + opportunity for feedback

Step 3

Development: Turning the Design Into a Website

Once the design is approved, we’ll build your new website in WordPress, add your content and functionality, and make sure everything works beautifully across desktop, tablet and mobile.

Along the way, we’ll continue paying attention to the details — from page layouts and navigation to forms, functionality and the way your content comes together throughout the site.

What you can expect: A fully developed website ready for your review

Step 4

Refinement: Your Feedback Matters

You’ll have an opportunity to explore the new website and provide feedback before anything goes live.

We’ll work through your comments, make adjustments and put the finishing touches on everything. This is where we make sure the website not only looks right, but feels right to you and works the way it should.

What you can expect: Website review + final revisions

Step 5

Launch: Ready to Go Live

Once everything is approved, it’s time to launch.

We’ll take your new website live, make sure everything is working as expected, and provide personalized WordPress training so you’re comfortable managing your website moving forward.

And launch isn’t goodbye. We’ll remain available afterward whenever you need support, have a question, or want to make your website even better.

What you can expect: Website launch + training and ongoing support
