The process that it takes to build these websites I prefer to think of as more of a journey. There are 3 main stages to this journey.
Before the Build and Beyond
The ‘Before’ stage takes place right at the beginning of the project. This is the time that we decide on the branding of the website. We are setting the foundations for the website to sit on. This is the first stage that the website goes through and everything gets mapped out. If you as a client has an existing website that we are updating, this is where we run an appraisal of the site and also select any existing content that may be wanted onto the new site. At this time a Coming Soon page will be produced to let prospective clients know that the website is under construction but they can still contact you through the named channels.
Some of the services that are included in the ‘Before’ stage are:
– Branding/Logo Design and Discovery
– Website Evaluation
– Content Planning
– Consultation/Final Quotation
– Domain and Hosting Setup/Guidance
Some of the services that are included in the ‘Build’ stage are:
– Responsive Design and Layout
– Navigation and Menu Setup
– Form Setup
– Social Media Integration
– Search Engine Optimisation
The ‘Build’ stage is about the website beginning to form through the plans and ideas. This is where the design is brought to life the structure of the website develops and it starts to take shape. The content is added into the site and any forms, navigation menus or interactive elements are implemented into the design. Eventually the website starts to look like the finished product with user experience considered throughout. Final checks get run over to ensure that the website functions fully and is responsive throughout ready for the launch.

After launch the ‘Beyond’ stage begins. This is the stage where your website starts to work for you bringing in new clients and supporting prospective leads. After handover, you will be shown how to manage your site yourself to enable you to make those small changes yourself. It is about making sure that your website is a lasting tool not a one-time project.
At this stage I provide ongoing support to help you keep everything running smoothly. Some of the packages have this included, however this can also be additionally purchased and you can pay for this monthly.
Some of the services that are included in the ‘Beyond’ stage are:
– Training and Handover
– Revisions
– Technical Support
– Ongoing Maintenance
– Ongoing Content Updates
