How it Works

STAGE 1

Research

Information is gathered on your services, products, company, goals and online competitors to gain a clear understanding of how to position your website to gain maximum exposure and conversions.

STAGE 1

STAGE 2

Wireframes

Sitemap and wireframes are created for desktop and mobiles web page templates based on the research gathered. A link to wireframes is email to you for discussion and revisions made to the wireframes before moving on to the web design phase.

STAGE 2

STAGE 3

Web Design

The design carries on from the wireframes by adding design elements including typography, colours, images, icons, and illustrations. Placeholder body text is typically used at this stage. A link is provided to you to view the designs for both desktop and mobile devices and provide feedback for design revisions.

STAGE 4

Content Creation

Content including text and images for your services, products, company profile and blog is provided by clients or a copywriter based on the design layout and is then search engine optimised.

WordPress Development

Our frontend developer converts the website design into HTML before our WordPress developer integrates the code into a custom WordPress theme and installs the required WordPress plugins.

Content Population

The website is populated with text, resized images, videos, icons and illustrations whilst your website is optimised for crawling and indexing on search engines.

Testing & Launch

The website is tested cross bross compatibility, user experience issues and coding errors using site auditing software before uploading the website to a secure server.

Do you design websites for SEO

I design and develop all websites with SEO in mind. This starts with the structure of your website by creating pages to target search terms on Google for people looking for your services.

For example, web design London is a term often used for people looking for a London web design agency. By creating content that targets this keyword along with associated terms, your website will start to rank for that particular term.

There are many other factors including reviews, FAQs, images related to your search terms, microdata, keywords in your URL, etc, which are all taken into consideration during the web design phase.
