Solution: Purpose built CMS. Fit for purpose. Point and click. Any change. Any time. CMS editing made simple.

Problem: Unprofessional design (Level of client dissatisfaction that is impacting lead generation, conversions or sales).

We then wireframe the site, and only afterwards move to the following phase.

Other digital challenges we solve for our clients...

Poor accessibility (Website traffic through mobile accounting for more than half and people hate the experience).
Poor communication from current agency (missed sales/ ineffective response times etc).
Poor value from current agency (too expensive, deliverables are not correct etc).
Hard to get answers from current agency.
Failure to understand your business to provide the right solutions.

Our Web Design and Development Process

No one knows your business better than you, and we value your input every step of the way.

Our web design and development company has fine-tuned and perfected the art of delivering websites that leave our clients delighted and importantly, truly reflecting the quality of their services. The Made Simple Media process includes:

1. Exploration

We carry out research and competitor analysis of websites within your niche to help form a clear and successful plan of foundations.

2. Wireframing

We produce sitemaps and wireframes that create a clear structure of how the website will function and operate.

3. Design

A collaborative process where we add your branding (logo/graphics/images/colour scheme).

4. Development

Our front and back end developers help transition the design into an interactive stage with custom coding.

5. Web Content

Content, either produced in-house or by our copywriting team is added to pages throughout the website.

6. Testing

Before we hand it over, we undertake thorough and stringent testing of all website aspects.

Below we discuss this thorough process in greater detail so you can understand exactly why we create websites the way we do and why it leaves our customers greatly satisfied.

We deliver an initial consultation where everything is on the table for discussion. This provides a great starting point for your project and the collaboration between our web development company team and yourselves. The websites that we create for our clients follow three simple steps:

Planning it Right. Designing it Right. Building it Right.

But how do we do it exactly?

Plan It

We produce sitemaps and wireframes to distinguish the location of all important pages and where specific elements belong on the page. We make sure you have enough pagetypes to grow the site in the future with minimal development work from our end. We also explore the user journey for your target audiences so your users are able to navigate the site quickly and smoothly.

Design It

Once you’ve approved the sitemap and wireframes, we move onto the design stage - we’ll add your branding (logo/graphics images/colour scheme). Additionally, web content that resonates well with your audience may also be additionally required. Our web design and development team can assist you with this process.

Build It

Our front and back end developers help bring the idea to life. Normally, building the home page first and gaining your seal of approval before moving onto the next pages.

These are the central pillars of the process, of course more parts may be necessary for larger projects such as user research, copywriting, or interactive prototypes.

Once each stage is complete and is in line with the professional standards of our web development company, plus the client is happy, we move onto the testing stage where we use a range of browsers, devices and our website testing software. Finally, we are all set for the launch of your new website when your business is ready to go live.
