A typical website design process

You may be wondering what is involved with getting a business online, so below I have detailed a typical process that you would go through, as follows:

  • You have an idea, product or service and decide to share it with the online community
  • You contact us or another website designer
  • There will be a conversation around what you want
  • From that conversation we can determine whether you need a brochure site, a membership or community site, blog, shop, authority site etc and can determine whether it fits into existing software or needs something written from scratch
  • We agree a price, payment plan and a timescale
  • You decide on a domain name ( internet address ) and lease it, or we can do it for you
  • You rent hosting ( somewhere to site your address ), or we can do it for you
  • We design the structure of your website ie outline what pages, software etc are needed
  • We build your website on the host, based on the content ( text, audio, video and images ) you provide
  • You test the website and feedback any changes that are needed
  • We make the changes and you test
  • The website goes live and is visible to people on the internet

Once the site is visible on the internet it does not mean that visitors will come to it, this is where SEO ( Search Engine Optimisation ) comes into it. This is the post live work to convince the search engines that your site is the best and most relevant for their searchers.
