Step 1: The Proposal
All projects start with an idea. You can fill out our questionnaire or give us a call on 07794 113 607 with your thoughts.
In order for us to understand what you are looking for, you should be as specific as possible and list all the features you would like such as web shop, Facebook feed, mobile responsive design, best SEO practices.
It also helps us to ascertain what you are looking for if you can give us links to other websites you like the look of, your current website (if you have one) and any of your competitors.
Step 2: Initial Design
Our graphic designer will use your ideas to create the overall design. This normally takes between one to two weeks. Once the design is ready we will send it to you for approval.
If you are not happy with the design we may take a step back to the Proposal phase in order to clarify and better understand your needs then we will revise the design.
At this early stage, the design is only a mock-up. Any text used in the mock-up probably would not be copied into the final website. You may see some gibberish words like Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit… This is Latin filler text called Lorem Ipsum.
You can learn more about what this is and why designers use it at www.lipsum.org.
Do not panic! Your website will not have any filler text when it goes live so try not to focus on what content you see in the design we send you.
The mock-up is primarily to confirm that you are happy with the colour scheme, images and positioning of layout elements like the logo, menu and content boxes.
Step 3: Construction
When you are happy with the initial design, we will begin the development and construction phase. During this phase we will turn the designer’s mock-up into a fully interactive website.
This is generally the most time-consuming part of the process but we will keep you updated regularly to let you know how it is progressing.
We build all the required functionality behind the scenes that makes your website work.
We also build you an admin area so you can run your website and view necessary reports and data.
Step 4: Adding Content
Once the website is fully functional, it needs some good, high-quality content. If you have an existing website we can usually copy the content across from that. For the best practice of SEO (your website’s ranking in search engine results) we recommend all content is either updated or rewritten fresh for the new website.
If you have no existing content we will ask you to provide some text and/or pictures for each page.

Step 5: Testing & Review Phase
It is time to give your new website a test drive so we can identify any issues or amendments we need to make.
It is very rare for major issues to creep in but if they do, our professional team will rectify it so your website is 100% ready for visitors on launch day.
Step 6: Website Goes Live
Finally, we transfer your finished website to its permanent home on our web server. We will also manage the domain name setup and configuration. Your site is now visible to the world.
At this stage we will also create your new email accounts @yourdomain.com which can be accessed via a web browser, via an email application like Outlook or Google mail and on your mobile phone or tablet.
Step 7: But it does not end there
After the website is launched, we continue to provide aftercare and support for a full 12 months. Any time you need it, assistance is just an email or phone call away.
Once the site is live we have a run in period where any snags are ironed out as your dream becomes reality. You will also receive a full 12 months of web and email hosting for free, including free technical support in case you need help.
At this stage we will also start any marketing campaigns we have planned for you and deliver customers and revenue for your business.
Step 8: Training Session
Once everything is in place and you are happy, we will contact you to arrange a training session. This is the home stretch! Everything is in place, all that is left is for you to take the reins.
We will walk you through every step of managing your website, from logging in, editing pages, uploading images and adding products. WordPress is easy to use and quick to learn. The training session normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
It is usually best if we visit you at your office or home so you can do the training using a computer you are familiar with. If a visit is not practical then we can log into your computer over the internet and give you the training session over the phone.
