OUR PROCESS
OUR PROCESS
Preliminary Research
The Brief
I'll ask the right questions to learn about you, your business, your project, and exactly what it is you're trying to achieve. Some of these questions may seem a little uncomfortable to force you to think deeply about the questions and the answers. This helps us to better understand you, your needs, and your goals. The more we understand, the more we can help.
Data and Analytics
We take a dive into your website analytics and Google Search Console. (if you don't have either, we can help set them up.) The data always tells a story. We focus on what the data says we should focus on, and leverage what we have learned to make your website better than ever before.
UI/UX Prototyping
One of the most important aspects of a website is the usability and functionality. We layout and build an interactive prototype in the browser to show you how our solution will work. With no attention to design at this stage, it keeps everyone focused on the user experience and functionality of the moving parts.
Deliverables
The Design
After the prototype is approved, we move onto the fun stuff, the design. We get to play with the crayons and coloring pencils in bringing your interactive prototype to life to match your brand identity. This is also where we customize any "off-the-shelf" solutions to match the design of the site.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization
We build every website with SEO in mind. We make sure your site is technically sound, contains the correct Structured Data (also called Schema) so the search algorithms can better understand your website's content and improve your search engine rankings. We also build in SEO tools that you can use to further help your search engine rankings.
Production
Finally, we spend a couple of weeks to implement the design and to make sure everything is plugged in and tested before deploying your shiny new website so you can show it off to the whole world.
