Our Website Development Protocol
Welcome to our detailed guide on our website development protocol. We pride ourselves on delivering top-tier websites through a meticulous, step-by-step process. Below is a breakdown of our approach, ensuring clarity and transparency for our valued clients. This blog post aims to give you a comprehensive understanding of how we turn your vision into a reality.
Initial Consultation and Contract Signing: The first step in our process is acquiring the contract. During this phase, we conduct an initial consultation to understand your needs, goals, and budget. After assessing your requirements, we draft a contract detailing the scope of work, timeline, and cost.
Deposit Requirement: To initiate the project, we require a deposit ranging from 25% to 50% of the total project cost. The deposit percentage depends on the overall budget: the higher the budget, the lower the deposit percentage. This ensures that both parties are committed and ready to proceed with the project.
Crafting the Blueprint: Once the contract is signed and the deposit received, we move on to the design and framework phase. This is where creativity meets strategy. Our team of designers and developers collaborates to create a blueprint of your website.
Wireframing, Prototyping & Development: We start with wireframing, creating a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of your website. This includes layout design, navigation flow, and basic functionality. Following this, we develop a prototype that gives you a tangible preview of the final product. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire project, ensuring that all elements align with your brand identity and business objectives. Then we launch the final product.
Optional Onboarding Services: The onboarding phase is designed to seamlessly integrate your team with the new website. While optional, many clients find this step invaluable. Our onboarding services include training sessions, user manuals, and ongoing support to ensure you can effectively manage and update your website.
Cost Integration: The cost of onboarding is calculated within your final quote. This ensures transparency and allows you to decide whether to include this service based on your needs and budget.
Enhancing Online Visibility: With the design and functionality in place, we shift our focus to SEO and marketing. This phase involves optimising your website to ensure it ranks well on search engines. Our SEO experts work on keyword research, on-page optimisation, and link-building strategies tailored to your industry.
Marketing Campaigns: In addition to SEO, we develop comprehensive marketing campaigns to drive traffic and conversions. This includes content marketing, social media strategies, and paid advertising. Our goal is to create a robust online presence that attracts and engages your target audience.
Separate PR Services While PR management is quoted and purchased separately, it is an integral part of our holistic approach to website development. Our PR services include brand management, social media management, and ongoing marketing efforts. This ensures that your website not only attracts visitors but also builds and maintains a positive brand image.
Continued Marketing and PR Our PR management services are designed to provide continuous support, helping you navigate the ever-changing digital landscape. We monitor your brand’s online reputation, manage media relations, and execute strategic PR campaigns to enhance your visibility and credibility.
