What does the web design process look like?
While there may be some variation from project to project, the typical process includes discovery/planning, sitemap outline, design mockups (and sometimes wireframing), development, content integration, testing, and launch. Each phase includes opportunties for client feedback and revision as needed.
How long will it take to design and launch my website?
Most small to medium business websites take 6-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity, content readiness, and rounds of revision. Custom functionality, or e-commerce features may extend this timeline. Small mini- or temp sites have been completed in as little as a few days to a week in a pinch.
Do you help with content creation?
We can and we will if requested. Most clients prefer to provide their own written content for the majority of their site. In such cases, we consult on tone, clarity and messaging to ensure effective communication and ensure your provided text works well in its new context.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Modern websites are built using responsive design principles, ensuring optimal viewing and functionality across all devices - from phones and tablets to laptop and desktop computers. We focus providing a compelling experience for all users.
Can I update the website myself after launch?
Most websites are built on content management systems (CMS) like WordPress that allow clients to make basic content updates. Many clients prefer to send us specific edits for implementation. However, larger organizations with available staff do take on responsibility for content publication and mantainance. Training and consulting is available for all clients to help you get up to speed and professionally manager your site.
What happens after the website launches? Who manages it?
Our post-launch support includes uptime monitoring, security updates, backups, and technical maintenance. Nearly all our clients partake in one or more of these services. Providing regular support, be it consulting or technical assistance, is one way we work to ensure your continued success.
Will my website be secure?
Maintaining a secure website requires a comprehensive approach. Security measures include SSL certificates, regular updates, secure hosting, and following best practices for user data protection among others. E-commerce sites require additional security considerations.
Can you host our website?
We are happy to provide you excellent hosting services, or can make a suitable recommendation for a third-party host that will match your requirements.
Mobile-Friendly Web Design
Designing responsive websites that look great on mobile, tablet, destop and more.
Everyday, the number of devices, platforms, and browsers used to view your site grows.
Responsive web design allows a single site to be served to mobile, tablet and desktop users. It accomplishes this by adapting its layout to the size of the web browser or device’s screen.
For example, users on a desktop computer may see page content displayed in a three column format, users on a tablet a two column format, while mobile users would see the same content in a single column view.
