How it works
My web design process
I’ve developed a smooth process that makes working with me clear, efficient and enjoyable.
Step 1
The first step is the discovery session where I’ll learn more about you and talk through the strategy for your website. We could meet in person if you’d like to, or a Zoom call is fine.
Step 2
Next is the content plan & website strategy. I’ll determine your sitemap and the pages you need. If we’re writing your content for you we’ll begin that too before we start designing.
Step 3
I will then develop wireframes, which are blueprints that help us think about the kind of content on each page and the way it should be presented.
Step 4
At last, design! Based on my strategy and wireframes, we will now create a home page mockup design to set the style of the site, this is usually the most fun part.
Step 5
Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll develop the website and create the rest of the pages. We’ll create the mobile layouts and get everything working nicely.
Step 6
Once the site has been produced, we’ll go through a process of testing, optimising and perfecting every detail before we’re happy to launch.
Step 7
It’s launch time! We’ll set a suitable time and date for launching your new site. I’ll then do all the techy things needed to launch the site. I also carry out a bunch of post-live checks and optimisations too.
