A website design process driven by marketing

As a website design company, our background and focus is in marketing. On initial contact we make it our business to find out about you and your business. We can’t help market your brand without first knowing the basics – who are your customers? What are your products and or services? How do you currently market & sell to your customers? What other online and offline marketing activity do you currently undertake? And what does the website need to achieve and how should fit within your current marketing mix?

We don’t want to confuse you technical, strategic or marketing terms so we’ll always make sure to explain ourselves during these discussions. If required, we aim to equip you with knowledge, information and advice to enable you to develop a marketing thought process and constantly look to improve the user experience (UX) of your website.

We take a logical process to the design and development of your website by following a few short steps:

Visual designs of the website in Illustrator
Development of agreed design in WordPress on a development domain
Creation (if required) and addition of the content and images
Fine-tune responsiveness of the website to ensure the website works across all types of devices including phones, tablets, laptops and larger desktops
Review basic level SEO rules and structure
Final sign-off and go live
Submit website to search engines, addition of analytical software

Responsive

When developing a website it is important to ensure the website works as well on mobile devices and tablets as it does on a computer screen.

In 2019 Google estimated that 61% of all search traffic came via mobile phones. This is a trend that will continue with the development of mobile and global internet technologies. Search engines also prefer to see websites that respond so this not only benefits your organic position but it will also improve conversion rates.
