We've used a business specialising in Parachuting for Cats to illustrate our website design process. While this is a lighthearted example, we have a good understanding of the needs of businesses and individuals in the real world.
See sample sites for a selection of previous websites we've designed.
Each design job is different from the next and therefore the process we follow will be slightly different each time, however the stages shown below show a fairly typical design process.
If you'd like a website that you can edit yourself, a database site where users can submit information, forums, blogs, or sites that include flash animation, we're more than happy to create a tailored solution for you. We have a range of experience in all these areas.
The links below go to more information on each stage in the design process.
|
1.
Planning
Discussing the site with you to gain a precise understanding
of your requirements. |
|
2.
Keywords
Discussing what people might enter into Search Engines to
find your website. We then check how often people have searched
for each word or phrase and generate new phrases. For the whole
of the website design process from this point forwards we keep
at the forefront of our minds these keywords and include them
where search engines can find them. |
|
3.
Website Creation
Designing the pages themselves, inserting navigation, etc.
We can also create logos and illustrations for you, as well
as text. We will also buy
your domain name (e.g. www.flycatfly.com) and host your website. |
|
4.
Search Engine Optimization
Creating
meta tags which search engines use to rank where you site appears.
Comparing
these to the top 10 websites that appear for searches in Google
in order to optimise them. Refining
text to help your site appear with search engines. |
|
5.
Search Engine Submission
We will submit your site to over 70 search engines (more for bilingual sites). This includes all the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo,
MSN, etc.
|
|
6.
Link Building
Ensuring that at least 10 other sites link to yours (this
is essential to appear well with Google and other search engines).
If you wish we can undertake a link building campaign for you
to generate numerous high quality links. |
|
7.
Ongoing Promotion
We can continue to generate
new links for you each month, plus update your website with
new products and services and ensure that when Google or other
search engines change their algorithms, your website always
appears on the first page. |
