Our process for web design

When it comes to website design, we focus on creating optimized websites for local SEO. Our website design process needs to look great, but also optimize for local SEO. We believe that web design should integrate keyword research with on-page SEO copywriting to enhance the overall user experience. Then, the design is tailored to convey the message effectively, connecting with your core audiences, while integrating on-page SEO with technical SEO.

We design clean, modern, and user-friendly responsive websites that are built to support your digital marketing goals. Whether you need a brand-new site or a redesign, we focus on functionality, speed, SEO, design methods, and mobile responsiveness to help you connect with your audience to grow your online presence. From small businesses to growing brands, we create websites that are both affordable and built to perform.

Our services include an introductory meeting to help you plan your web design project.

Professional web design methods

We begin by understanding your business goals, audience, and brand, then move through a thoughtful design and development process, maintaining open communication and clear timelines throughout.

We combine web design creativity with strategic communication methods to ensure your website not only looks great on desktop or mobile, but also drives results, attracting more visitors, generating leads, and expanding your online brand.

All of our web design projects begin with a discovery phase, where we define objectives and key functionalities. Next, we will develop a keyword strategy and design a content hierarchy in wireframes, followed by a clean, responsive design.

This is followed by wireframing to establish the site’s structure, user flow, and visual hierarchy. Once approved, we create mockups of website pages that reflect the brand’s style and colours. We prioritize intuitive navigation and ease of access to help visitors find the information they are searching for.

The final design is then developed using responsive design and SEO standards, ensuring optimal performance across all devices and platforms. Regular client feedback, testing, and revisions help ensure the final product is both visually compelling and conversion-focused.

Our service includes a platform that’s easy for you to use, training (if needed), and the ability to create functional pages optimized for both performance and local search results independently. This ensures your new website not only meets expectations but also grows with you.

We are academically trained in web design and development with 20 years of professional experience.

Exceptional web design from start to finish

Our exceptional web design extends beyond mere aesthetics. From the initial call to the final live launch, we take a collaborative approach to understand your goals, audiences, vision, and business needs, integrating website functionality.

We can design anything your small business needs for the online world.

Every step of your online e-commerce store is planned, designed and perfected

Our custom e-commerce design process focuses on creating a user-friendly, conversion-optimized online store tailored to the brand’s products and customer journey.

We begin with a strategic planning phase to understand the product catalogue, customer behaviour, and business goals. Information architecture is then developed alongside website functionality to organize product categories, filters, and navigation for easy browsing.

The design phase incorporates branded visuals, intuitive layout, and mobile responsiveness, while ensuring seamless integration with payment gateways, inventory systems, and marketing tools.

We can continue to work on the website after launch, utilizing best practices in UX/UI design. A/B testing and customer feedback methods are used to refine the experience and create a customized e-commerce shopping experience that not only showcases products effectively but also drives sales.

We create cost-effective websites for budgets of small businesses and nonprofits, reducing their technical maintenance and development wait times.
