Web Design Process
The method used to design websites varies from design team to design team, but the web design process usually follows the same basic pattern. Having received your initial inquiry and provided you with an acceptable quotation, we arrange an initial consultation.
This is an outline of the web design process that we use to create a professional website that not only looks good but is also capable of producing the results you expect from your online business. Use the next button below to quickly review each stage of the process.
NextInitial Consultation
The entire website design process that we use is geared towards producing an effective website that exceeds your expectations. This initial consultation is possibly the most important stage and can take place at a time suitable to you either by telephone or face to face.
There are a large number of things to be taken into consideration and this discussion enables us to gather vital information about the main purpose of your site, your key objectives, your company message, the target market and your competitors.

Website Planning
Having gathered relevant information during the initial consultation we undergo a period of intense planning which includes thorough research of your intended market. This period of planning is another important stage of our website design process and helps to ensure that we structure and design websites in the best possible way.
Design and functional features are explored to produce a user friendly interface which helps to enhance the user experience. This is of key importance to the future success of your website.

Design and Revisions
This stage of the web design process focuses on design aspects that determine the look and feel of your website. A sample home page design is produced for you to view and we invite feedback to ensure that it meets with your approval.
We like to encourage regular communication between you and our designers and will make any revisions that you feel are necessary. It is important that the look and feel of the site match your expectations, but also crucial that the end result satisfies your future visitors.

Development and Testing
Work now starts to develop the actual website using key elements identified during the earlier stages. A suitable blend of technologies, coding and optimisation techniques are used to create a functional website capable of fulfilling your online business objectives.
Before delivering each site rigorous testing is carried out to check the functionality, loading speed, cross-browser compatibility code validation. Once the development and testing stage has been completed the finished website can be delivered for your approval.
Next
Delivery and Launch
The final stage of our web design process is the delivery and launch of your website. This is when it goes live and is made visible across the World Wide Web. With the site live and visible to the public a final set of checks are made and any necessary adjustments made.
Although the web design process is now over the development of your site may continue. Following the launch of your site we provide a 30 day period of support and maintenance during which time we are happy to make any small alterations that you ask for.
