All about our Website Design Process
1
Where to start your Web Project
Project Meeting
We will first have a meeting, either in person or online where we will discuss your requirements for your project including an overview of your project, the budget, the due date etc. After this meeting I should be able to work out a quote or invoice to send to you for the required work.
Working with Existing Team Members
If you have, for example, a graphic designer you would like to include in the project, I can work in conjunction with them. otherwise, if you will be relying on me exclusively, I am highly experienced and more than happy to tackle this with you.

Designing your Website
Each website starts with looking at your existing branding, your ideas, your competition and then using my skills to create a web design that represents you professionally,
Designing a website properly needs a professional who will give attention to important concepts such as the UX and UI Design, the navigation, Leading CTAs, the structure of the website in general, the Graphics, Web-Friendliness, Responsivity Look and Functioning, SEO Structure, your Target Audience / Market, the Goal of your website which will dictate the Strategy and many other factors.

Taking Over an Existing Website
Assessing your current website
If you already have a website that needs maintenance and refreshing, or needs rebuilding, an assessment of your current website installation needs to be conducted to determine the best path to achieve the desired outcome.
What will be assessed in your website?
Various things will be assessed: type of website, type of installation, position on Google searches for obvious seo keywords, tags structure, navigation, design, usability – ux and ui design, responsivity, compatibility with different browsers, website speed, faults, errors and general performance. There are other criteria, but these list the most important.
Rebuilding old websites
Very outdated websites need to be completely rebuilt because the coding and platform would be so outdated that it would not be worth keeping, and the design would need a complete refresh. however, very often, because of the age of these websites, their positioning on Google searches can be good in relation to their onboard SEO – age is a determining positive factor for organic SEO in most cases. The SEO onboard the website will be preserved and in almost every case guaranteed to be improved.

Server Login Details
I require server login details
Before I begin work on your website project, I will need login details for your server that can be requested from your hosting company, or which you may already have on an email sent to you. This is essential so that if any problems occur while working on your project, I will be able to do a full backup and restore if required.
What are these server login details?
This will be a username and password that will login to either your Cpanel or KonsoleH or whichever server system your hosts are using. If there is 2 factor authentication, arrangements will need to be made for me to be able to login. Please do not give me the login details for your hosting account, I require login details to your server only.
