Our process

โ€˜How much is a websiteโ€™ can be a challenging question, but when you look under the bonnet you can break it into its components.

Discovery

It all starts with an initial consultation to determine:

  • Your goals
  • Your challenges
  • Any integrations you have currently, or want to integrate in future
  • SEO goals or current meta data and goal tracking you need to migrate
  • Your best performing pages so we can ensure they retain their rankings
  • Understanding your current client engagement – case studies, testimonials, FAQs, blogs, resources
  • Your audience types – this is essential to make sure we have content and visuals to directly connect with your target audiences
  • Your competitors – what can we leverage against them, what are the opportunities and how do you want to be different
  • Your calls to action (CTAs) – what do you want your audience to do when they reach your website?
  • Your content – will you be writing content and providing images, or do you need support from our team?
  • Your branding – do you have guidelines for us, or is now the time to reposition your brand?
  • Your value proposition – is it instantly clear what you do and how you help people?
  • Finally, your deadline for launch

Once this is complete, we move on to the next stage.

Content

To go much further, we need to know if youโ€™ll be providing web-ready content, or if you have commissioned us to support you with that, our content team will be in touch to get the ball rolling.

Great content is essential – it engages your prospect with your value proposition, it provides high quality content for your search engine rankings, and above all else, it drives lead conversions.

Project setup

Once we’ve stablished your sitemap and timelines, we use Asana to plan your project internally, with checkpoints and each stage, working backwards from your delivery date.

This can be shared with you at key stages to get teams aligned to the deadline.

Visuals

Weโ€™ll work with you to identify key pages to visualise as โ€˜flatโ€™ visuals (e.g. before we build anything) to ensure the tone, style and messaging is right. This is done from signed-off text content, and we usually start with the homepage and move on to a service page or other identified page. Content can feel different once you see it in situ, so this is your opportunity to make any minor revisions to the content too.

Server setup

Whilst the content and visuals are underway, we get the server set up for you:

  • Configuring a cPanel or NGINX instance thatโ€™s optimised for your site needs
  • Set up development domain, SSL certificates and crawl stoppers to prevent Google from indexing your development site
  • Deploy the basic WordPress install ready for development

Development

Once we have initial visuals signed off, weโ€™ll go to build in the browser. This helps get the โ€˜realโ€™ feel of the website for you and a tangible focus point.

Key stages will be shared with you along the way, so we can continue getting sign-off of modules to make sure itโ€™s kept in line with the vision, and so that itโ€™s not a big โ€˜surprise – hereโ€™s your site!โ€™.

With more complex or custom builds, there will be rounds of full stack development for functionality and integrations so we can test things like payment systems, and CRM APIs.

Testing

Now what weโ€™re underway with the whole site, first deliverables can go through testing. This is performed on multiple systems and multiple browsers – they all behave slightly differently so we need to ensure it looks great everywhere.

QA (Quality Assurance)

As well as the designers and developers testing, the project management team will run separate QA for sense check, spell check, and of course against the brief. This is performed on key modules, and again once the site is ready for first delivery.

First delivery

You will have seen phases throughout, but First Delivery is our complete first delivery of the site to you to share with wider team / key stakeholders, and to review all content ahead of the next stage.

Mobile Optimisation

We work a little on the mobile version of the site throughout design and development, but once the desktop design and content is approved, we do a top to bottom run through of the site to make sure it as seamless an experience as possible.

Feedback

To keep changes to a minimum, we show you the site in various stages throughout the build process, but the full feedback on first delivery is your opportunity to check it all through yourself.

Launch

The big event – and much as weโ€™d love for it to be the press of a button, it really isnโ€™t! Weโ€™ll arrange a go-live day at the start of the project, and confirm again once weโ€™re nearer completion.

Typically Mon-Weds are go-live days so we can make sure the relevant teams are available – this includes your IT team if you manage your domain.

We never go-live on a Friday – there is a 30+ point go-live checklist (checking web forms are sending correctly etc) and post-go-live activity to go through, which no-one wants to do at the weekend.ย 

Speed Optimisation

Once the site is live, we run through our 16 point optimisation checklist to ensure the site is in peak performance.

Post-launch checks

This is usually 2 weeks after launch, to check speed performance and a check in with you to ensure youโ€™re happy with your site.

What you get for your investment

As the process above outlines, there is a LOT that goes into creating a website โ€“ it really is a worthy investment in the right team to deliver your website with you.

In addition to all this, you also get:

Experience

Weโ€™ve been doing this for over 10 years, with an experienced team of designers, developers, project managers and content creators. In this time, we’ve created over 200 websites and learned a lot along the way, as well as adapting to exponential changes in browsers and technology.

Knowledge

All of our team members are trained in their disciplines and have the expertise to advise and consult at the start, during and after the project. Thereโ€™s not much we havenโ€™t seen or done over the years!

Communication

A friendly, human team to talk to and seek advice from, backed up by our support team. We genuinely love creating websites, and itโ€™s our mission to create a site that youโ€™ll love, but importantly your prospective clients will love, so communication really is key.

Tools

The hardware and software to create, develop and maintain your website. We use UK based servers (nestled in an ultra secure location in the South East) which is in operation 24/7 and regularly maintained and upgraded. We licence lots of applications from our internal comms, to project management tools, to discovery sessions to keep our teamโ€™s minds sharp.
