3Step Three : Design
We will get our graphic designers involved at this stage. We'll provide them your initial document and our interactive prototype and ask them to interpret this as a bespoke website design. The design for website is very important so we can iterate on this until you are happy.
4Step Four : Build Website
We will take the layout for web page created by our graphic designer and adapt it to produce a responsive design web theme in whatever content management system you have chosen to use for your bespoke web design project. This website development stage is important so we will tweak until you're happy.
5Step Five : SEO Review
We will review the website design we've created and assess it against basic technical SEO criteria and Google Web Vitals standards to ensure that all is good. Design and web development are exceptionally important so in this stage we may make changes to boost your chances of ranking well.
