Our Six-Step Process
First, we take time to understand your business and objectives and gather the necessary information that we need from you in order to design and build your website.
Second, we create the design for your website and present each page to you as a PDF mockup. We receive your feedback about the design and make any revisions that you’d like.
Third, we convert the finalized website design into a working website with custom coding and develop it within WordPress.
Fourth, we upload your website to our private server and test it for proper functionality and performance.
Fifth, we go through client WordPress training with you to teach you how to use your website and how to manage and update it.
Sixth, we launch your website, uploading it to your own server and ensuring that it is accessible to the public.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Who supplies the content for my website?
As the client, it is your responsibility to provide us with the content for your website, which includes both website copy (text) and images. Once we receive this content from you, we have the essential building blocks for your website and are able to start working on the design.
-
How long does the process typically take from start to finish?
This depends on several different factors, such as the website’s number of pages and level of complexity, along with how quickly you are able to supply the content of your website to us. Generally, the timeframe is between 2 and 5 months.
-
Do you offer Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services?
Our websites are built to be clean, fast, and responsive, which helps your ranking on Google. We also walk you through basic setup of the popular Yoast SEO WordPress plugin to further help your search engine results.
-
Will my website be mobile responsive?
Absolutely. All of our websites include a responsive design and will look and work great on all different screen sizes.
-
Will I be able to update my website myself?
Yes. We build all of our websites within WordPress, a content management system, so that you have the ability to control and update the content of your website.
-
Will you host my website for me?
We do not currently offer web hosting services, but would be glad to recommend some competent web hosting companies to you.
-
What is a privacy policy and why do I need to include one on my website?
A privacy policy is a short description of the kind of information you collect from visitors on your website and what you do with that information. It is important to include this because it is often required by law and third-party services.
-
With all of the free website builders available online, why should I hire someone to build my website for me?
If all you need is a very simple website that does not require any custom design or functionality, then a free online website builder might be a good option for you. However, if you would like your website to be unique, not based off of a template, and specially built to meet your business’s specific needs, then hiring a professional who can build a custom website is the way to go.
In general, most people do not have a good understanding of everything that goes into building a great website that will represent your business well. It is a complex process that requires a thorough knowledge of good design, layout, and usability and takes into account the specific needs of your business and target audience. Often, the do-it-yourself approach of building a website will not give you the advantage if you desire to increase sales, differentiate yourself from your competitors, and have a strong online presence. Hiring a professional web designer and developer to design and build a website for you will save you time and potential frustration and allow you to devote your focus and energy to your growing business.
