How the Design Process Works
1. Getting Started
The project starts with an exploratory call to discuss your business goals, define the scope of the project, agree on the details, and you place your deposit.
2. Gathering Materials
You will receive a list of materials to send to me, including logo, current brand guidelines, photos, content, videos, testimonials, etc.. I’ll also request your hosting and domain login credentials. If you don’t have hosting or a domain, I will guide you through the process of setting it up. I will also request your social media links and login credentials.
3. Website Style + Site Outline
At this point, the second installment of the payment is due. During this stage, I will develop your personalized website brand style guide, including the fonts, colors, signature elements, and photo style that will make up your design. I will also send a navigation outline, which will detail the pages of your new website.
4. Building your Website
After we’ve agreed on the website style and structure, I’ll start building. I’ll develop and design and your website on WordPress, Squarespace or Shopify, depending on your selection. I’ll install all the plugins, widgets, contact forms, integrations, security features, and other important technical things.
While I’m working on this stage, you’ll be writing your website using a series of templates that I’ll provide. I’ll then coach you through refining it and optimizing it for use on your website.
5. Testing and Launch!
Once I’ve finished step 4, you’ll get a link to live view your new website! We’ll test everything, make any adjustments, add once it’s 100% to your satisfaction, we’ll go live! Your final payment is due in order to set your site live.
6. Next Steps: Learning to Use and Market Your New Website
After your website is live, we’ll set up a 45-minute Zoom call and I will walk you through the basics of updating your website. You’ll be able to refer back to the video at any time. You will also gain access to my Website Marketing 101 online course, which will teach you marketing tips to grow your website traffic and promote your services and programs on social media.
