It is important that the design and development process is clear and allows the developer's team and the client to work together most productively and quickly.

 

Requirements

To design website, firstly we'll talk and work with you to find out what it is you need from your website. This will include what the business goals for the website are, which visitors should find your website and what you want them to be able to do, how the website should look in terms of existing branding or the ideas you want to portray and any technical requirements you may have.

 

Content

Once we have your requirements, we can look at what content will need to go on your website e.g. text, images, downloads, video, flash etc. The content will be informed by the requirements as it will need to communicate your message(s) to visitors and prompt them to take the action you want.

 

Structure

Now we know what the content is going to be, we can start to structure it and decide what pages are needed and how they should be grouped and linked together. For complex sites we may also look at the different journeys a visitor could take through your website.

 

Design

The design stage may begin before the structure has been finalised but once this has happened and we know what pages there will be and what will be on them we can finally give you an idea of what the finished website will look like.

 

Build

Once we have all the content and have finalised the structure and design we can begin to build the pages of your website.
