The Design Process

For every website project

Approach

With expertise, dedication and integrity, I will work closely with you to understand your goals and visions for your online presence and reputation. Every step of the way, you are kept informed of progress (and any unavoidable delays), empowering you to make informed decisions. Transparency during the process of designing and building a your website ensures clear communication and collaboration from start to finish.

I firmly believe that open and honest two-way communication is essential for building strong and trustworthy relationships with clients.

Utilising skills honed from years of Life & Business Coaching, I can help you to understand how to best represent your values and personality for your brand, in order to send the right message to your ideal audience.

I can help you to identify those ideal customers to build the brand colours, style and overall look & feel. This will assist other professionals such as graphic designers, marketers and promotional merchandise producers in deciding how to best represent your brand across all marketing channels.

This isn’t just website design.

Bring your ideas to life, with a process that keeps you engaged and informed throughout.

Project Objectives

Defining project objectives is paramount for establishing a purposeful direction for the design process of your vision.

By precisely outlining goals and desired outcomes from the outset, we can strongly align expectations and collaborate towards a shared success. Establishing clear project boundaries can also assist in preventing scope creep to ensure a timely launch on-time and on-budget.

Moreover, well-defined objectives serve as a solid foundation for informed decision-making during the design and development phases, resulting in a significantly streamlined and highly effective website creation process.

Project Stages

1. Initial Call (Free)

Arrange a free call to discuss your ideas and to start considering design details. This call also allows us to decide whether we may be a good business fit.

(Typically ~30 minutes)

If agreed, you will be sent a quotation for the design project to decide if you wish to receive ideas of potential designs.

2. Design Ideas

Receive 3 draft ideas for layouts, colour schemes and fonts to choose one overall, high-level design to proceed with.

(Cost is €250, but no obligation to proceed with full project. You are free to give the draft designs to other web designers. This cost will be taken off cost of full site project. Demos and drafts are hosted on my hosting package.)

If you wish to proceed, you will be sent business contracts to commit to the full design and build project. A further deposit is payable at this stage to total 50% minus the draft layout fee of €250. Payment stage examples.

3. Define Scope

Defining a project scope for website design is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful process.

By clearly outlining the objectives, approach, and expected results, we can align expectations and goals to help avoid misunderstandings, scope creep, and delays in delivery timelines.

With a defined scope, we all have a clear understanding of what to expect, allowing me to fully focus on delivering results that meets your needs and expectations.

4. Build Draft Site

Build your draft website to ensure the design aligns perfectly with your vision.

By creating a preliminary version, we can ensure that every element - colors, fonts, layout and imagery - reflects your desired branding vision.

With an iterative process allowing for constructive feedback and collaboration ensures the final website design is not only visually appealing but also a true representation of your brand identity.

5. Tuning

During the tuning stage of the design process, meticulous adjustments are made to the layout, imagery, colors, and overall look & feel of the site.

This fine-tuning process allows for the perfect realisation of the website with your goals. By collaborating closely and gathering feedback, we ensure that every element reflects your desired image.

The result is a visually appealing and authentic representation of your brand, engaging your ideal audience and bringing your ideas to life.

6. Launch

Once the fine-tuning has been made, we arrange testing and training before agreeing to full sign-off to launch the live site. As part of this process, we will work together to arrange any domain registration/transfer and finally migrating the draft site to your live site. Remaining 50% of agreed project cost payable at sign-off before full migration to your live hosting service.

Rest assured, every step is handled with professionalism and expertise, ensuring a seamless and successful launch.

Launch your online presence confidently with our comprehensive services.

Post-launch support for up to a month included to ensure you are happy with the results. Choose to subscribe to any add-on services.
