The Design Process
We follow the following steps in every new site design.
Strategy Call
The first step to a new project is determining specific objectives for the site.
In a 30-minute Zoom call, we’ll determine needs and answer your questions.
Design & Develop
Next, we’ll get to work creating some layouts and drafting site structure.
In this phase, you’ll prepare the text and images you want included on the site.
Revise & Optimize
In this stage, we’ll present our draft design for your review. We’ll review any adjustments.
Once approved, we’ll optimize the site for speed, SEO, and user experience.
Go Live
With the site approved and optimized, it’s time to go live.
We’ll transfer the site to your hosting and make it live. Once launched, we’ll make the final CRM and SEO integrations.
5 Pillars of Site Design
We follow five pillars of site design. As you’ll notice, these are related and must be developed together. Each design pillar focuses on the specific site objectives.
Site Speed
Site speed is required for a site that converts well and ranks well in search. The majority of visitors won’t wait for a slow site to load.
We employ caching, minification, image optimization, and lazy loading to improve site speed. And we develop clean, light code for the fastest sites possible.
SEO
Organic search traffic is valuable for every business. Every site is created with search engines in mind. This includes technical, on-page, off-page, schema, and metadata. Plus, every site is integrated with Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Bing Webmasters Tools.
UX
While speed is a factor, it is just a small part of the user experience. We build with logical navigational and contextual links, readable font (size and color), and no content shift.
Every site is designed with mobile-first experience in mind.
Appearance
While often the first detail that comes to mind, site appearance must be chosen with other factors in mind.
Images, videos, pricing tables, and other site features must be carefully chosen and designed.
Updateability
Many sites are beautifully designed but can be almost impossible to update. We build sites that can be updated and changed by your staff or other developers. We know that you don’t want to call us every time something needs to be updated or added. We follow best practices for layout and design, making it easily updatable.
To accomplish these goals, we are careful when choosing the tech stack that your site is built on.
We always build as lightly as possible, avoiding needless plugins and custom code that don’t contribute directly to the site objective. We avoid excessive plugins, resource-heavy widgets, sliders, and features.
Other factors affecting site design include security, user intent, content plans, and site architecture.
