Progressive web design for progressive online businesses

Web Design

Your website is a crucial tool in your business’s success

When people land on it, they are actively choosing to enter your business inner-sphere.

It’s the magical, critical moment when clients are most open to purchasing. Too many businesses rush through website creation and don’t seize the opportunity to fully make their mark.

Not harnessing the power of your website is both an expensive oversight and a real disservice to your people

Our Difference

responsive website
Perfected across all devices

When most viewers are accessing websites on mobile, just checking its responsiveness isn’t enough. Your site needs to be custom designed on mobile, as well. Mobile needs to be an experience, not an afterthought.

custom websites
100% custom Design

Every website I design is 100% custom to your brand and vision. It’s so much more than a run-of-the-mill superficial template.

editable websites
Yes, you’ll be able to update it

Your site needs to be easy to update for it to endure through time. I’ll build your site on a platform that is accessible based on your past experience and technical know-how, so you feel comfortable hopping in and making changes.

Time to reward yourself with a new website if:

  • You’re feeling embarrassed by your outdated website. It looks and feels like a younger version of you that you’ve completely outgrown.
  • The work you do is an extension of who you are. You desire to create a space online where you can bare your soul and share something real that’s impactful to your people.
  • You’re sick of feeling isolated in your business experience. You’re drawn to the idea of building a team… and starting with a designer is the first step in attracting quality talent. This isn’t an arts and crafts project; it’s your livelihood.

The Process

Wireframes
Banner Concepts
Full Mockups
Development

Before the design and build process begins, we’ll meet to go through your vision, so we can ensure we’re on the same page from the get-go. If you don’t have a brand at all, that is a-okay. Designing your logo is incorporated into the website build process. We will start with my unique branding worksheets and exercises full of prompts to get you thinking deeply about what you have to offer from a very customer-centric angle.

Once we’re clear on the brand direction, we develop wireframes. Wireframes are like website skeletons and are a very important tool for content strategy. This will be a guide for you to write your content, otherwise, I have an incredible copywriting partner you can work with.

I will present several design concepts for the home page banner that approach the brand from different visual directions. These banner concepts allow you to decide between a few different looks before major design work is started. After that, the full mockups are designed based on the chosen banner concept.

Once all design work is approved, I go into my creative cave and website development begins. We build websites in WordPress primarily but also build in Shopify or Kajabi if that is better suited to your business needs. 

The final result will be a 100% custom-to-you, robust, and responsive website that you can be proud of for years.

The Process

for your new WordPress Website

Prep Work

Prep Work Initial Strategy Call

Before the design and build process begins, we’ll meet to go through your vision, the process, and any questions, so we can ensure we’re on the same page from the get-go

Get your copy organised

All copy and photos need to be supplied in a completed and proof-read format beforehand. If you’re lost on where to start with copy, I offer a powerful content strategy package.

Design

Step 1 Banner Concept Designs

The most exciting part! After I spend time exploring a few different design directions, you will be presented with several overall design concepts for the home page. These concepts allows you to decide between different style directions before major design work is started.

Develop

Step 2 Homepage build

Website development is started straight away! Periodically, you will be sent an interactive home page to check on progress and make sure you’re still loving the direction. I want to keep you in the loop through the whole process so you get the site of your dreams.

Step 3 A Service or Sales Page

This is the key space selling your signature offering. Let’s put some love into this page and integrate proven sales UX strategies.

Refine

Step 4 Review Meeting

At the midway mark we meet again to go over the two most important pages. As the CEO of your brand vision, your voice is maintained as an integral strategy driver throughout the development process

Step 5 Smaller Pages (About + Contact)

Two very important but smaller pages are the About and Contact pages. These pages are left to last as the styles developed in earlier pages are easily carried over in a brand-consistent manner.

Step 6 Final Touches

Before the site goes live, there’s one final opportunity for proofing, tweaking, and mobile testing. All websites are designed to be impactful on mobile, SEO friendly (through Yoast integration), and visually stunning.

Go Live

Step 7 Launch Day

Either pop the bubblies or pop the kettle on! You have a gorgeous, fully custom site ready for the world to see. A website handover lesson will be organised after the ‘Go Live’ where you will be taught how to maintain the site yourself. It’s your time to thrive! But don’t worry, I’m always only an email away.

Questions?..

Nope – and I promise it’s for the better. For an impactful experience, content should lead design. We want to make sure you have space for all your valuable offerings, and we know what should be highlighted where. When your new website is capturing heaps of leads, you’ll thank me for insisting on doing things this order.

All good! We can discuss customizing your project on our intro call. It may take more time, or we might break your website up into phases.

WordPress still leads the pack in terms of custom functionality. Over time, it can evolve into a membership website, a forum, create a custom booking calendar, a new sub-blog for podcasts, and more! Plus, plugins on WordPress are top notch, enabling us to integrate top CRM systems, analytics systems, push notifications . . . the list could go on forever. On WordPress, I can keep your website clean and clutter free. There’s a reason the majority of the websites out there are still on WordPress.

Full payment is required before the design process is started. But if you book your website far enough in advance you’ll see the option to choose a payment plan.
