The Web Design Process Step By Step

By Jeremy Talbot


With this in mind, we have developed a four stage planning and design process which covers every aspect of the build, from placement of your order through to delivery of your completed web site.

At each and every stage, you make sure that we are making numerous checks in order to make sure that the created site is developing according to the design brief that you provided. We also strive to always look for new ways to improve our standards and this is a methodology that allows us to give you polished, professional, high quality websites at competitive prices and in a small amount of time.

1. Free design quotation.
Tell us a bit about your business, the types of products or services you provide and your target market. Let us know the approximate number of pages you require and if you have any specific design ideas you would like us to incorporate. From this information we can provide you with an initial quote for the website and if you are happy with this we would go to stage 2.

2. Detailed Design Brief.
This is where we would like for you to be able to paint for us a picture of how you imagine your site to appear. Providing us with links or examples of design aspects that would to include is important. This is your moment to express any and all ideas that you have for your site. This is also the time where we will examine your target audience and discover just what their experience with your site will be.

This all might sound like a little bit of a daunting task at first, however, we can fully discuss with you, on a personal level, until you are able to see and believe that we have fully gathered your brief. If you feel that you would like to write a summary, there is a Word doc template we can send you. This is in an easy question-answer format and it will cover just about every aspect of design. There might even be some points that you didn't even think of.

3. Initial design in practice - construction of your site begins.
Your dedicated designer will now craft the home page of your new site, which will act as a design cue for the remaining pages of the site in terms of colour, graphics, and the navigation menus.

Even during this early phase of development, you will be able to see your ideas coming to life. This will be your first official glimpse at the entire web design concept you have created with us and we ensure that we are meeting the objectives originally agreed upon. This is where we can now expand on the content and the site in general.

4. Site Delivered
Now that we have taken the consultation and design process in a step by step fashion, you will now have the dividends. The design brief is fully realized and you will have the first opportunity to review the site before it becomes live to the rest of the world.

Domain Names
We, at Absolute Web Design, will be able to purchase and configure your brand new domain name. Then again, we could simply transfer the existing domain name and configure it. It really is simple and then your new site is officially launched.
