A clear process from start to go-live.
How it works
Step 01:
Discover & Blueprint
We’ll begin with a dive deep. You’ll work closely with our lead website strategists to map out your ideal user journeys, define all necessary custom functionality, detail required system integrations (CRM, ERP, etc.), and establish key performance indicators (KPIs).
Then, we’ll translate your vision into a comprehensive website blueprint that guides every stage of the process, start to finish.
Step 02:
Design & Develop
Next, our senior creative team will get to work. Our copywriter will draft your copy and our UX/UI designer will create clickable design mockups, prioritizing user experience, conversions, and brand cohesion.
After you sign-off on the creative, our in-house development team will develop your website from scratch on a development server using the latest robust WordPress technology.
Step 03:
Launch & Support
Finally, we perform rigorous testing to ensure every element is flawless and functioning as expected.
After go-live, we perform additional optimizations to make your site run at lightning-fast speeds.
We also offer managed hosting, maintenance, and support so your site stays secure and updated, and your investment is protected.
