Introduction

Creating a website that works hard for your business or organisation involves a series of stages that must be correctly followed, getting client approval at each stage, to ensure success. 

Our process has been developed over many years to encourage collaboration between us and you, the client, so that every project ends with the results that you are seeking.

On this page we take you briefly through that process, so you know what will happen and how you will be involved. 

Please get in touch or arrange a chat if you'd like to know more...

 

 

01

Discover

We learn more form you about your business and what you want to achieve from the website.

The discovery phase is key to finding out what you want to achieve with the new website, and what other websites you have seen that you like or want to be influenced by. We discuss your competitors to see what they are doing and ask you for your current pain points, likes and dislikes about your current website (if you have one).

02

Plan

The planning stage is critical to creating a high-converting, website that is simple and easy to use. 

Planning involves developing your new websites architecture through sitemaps and wireframes.  This allows us to explore how people are likely to interact with the site and steer your visitors towards your most important products or services.  The right structure and layout encourages your users to get in touch, buy or donate through your website.

03

Design

Next, we develop the wireframes into full high-fidelity designs with your branding, images and colour.

We now take the sitemap and wireframes and develop them into the high-quality designs that your users will see when they visit your site.  At this stage we add colour, images, video and stylised typography to produce the final appearance of your new website. This is exciting because we start to see the project come to life!  We design the home page first and ask you to review that before moving onto the other page types, that will be used throughout the website.

04

Build

The design is now complete, so we start to write code and add pages and blocks within the the new site to populate it's content and make it fully interactive. 

We will build the home page first and show you, then move onto the inner pages.   This is where the pages become interactive and you will be able to navigate through the website and test it's functionality.  If the designs contain any Latin "padding text", we will need your content so we can add that into the pages or you can hire our Copywriter to assist writing content for you (we will provide an estimate for this).

05

Test

The testing stage involves checking your new website works well in major web browsers.

We test your new website across all screen sizes from small mobile devices, through to tablets and large desktop screns. We test on physical devices as much as we can and use an emulator to test any others that we don't have.  se to test the site on. We also ask you to help test the site and report back on any bugs so we can fix them as quickly as possible.

06

Launch!

The exciting bit!  The website is complete and we set it live!

We will run through the final going live checklist, making sure everything works and copy over the site files and database to the live web space on the server.

We commissioned David at Made Simple Media to build our website for About Mortgages. David was responsive, incredibly patient, on budget and provided a great finished product that we're delighted with.

Dave was so patient and understanding when it came to explaining the process and how things work. I highly recommend MSM to anyone who needs that extra help understanding the fundamentals of website building.

We are delighted with the quality of our new website, which has enabled us to effectively communicate our various areas of work and build an engaged and increasingly active audience. The common-sense design and easy-to-navigate structure has also helped us establish our organisational identity following a full rebrand in 2017. The support has been excellent throughout.

Having never had the responsibility of creating a new website for the business before, Made Simple Media could not have made it a more easier and pleasurable experience. From the initial meeting to the end product, we could not have been happier. Made Simple Media quickly grasped what we were looking to achieve in both design style and function.
