Website Design and Build
It’s 2024: If Your Business Isn’t Online, Does It Even Exist?
You might be thinking, “Do I really need a website for my small business? It’s just me, a couple of employees, and a coffee machine that’s on its last legs.” But here’s the truth – even a simple website can be a total game-changer!
Think of your website like your digital storefront. It’s open 24/7, never needs a coffee break, and will never call in sick. Even if it’s just one or two pages, it’s there to tell potential customers, “Hey, I’m here, I’m real, and I’m ready to help you!” Plus, it gives people a place to check out all the important stuff, like what you do, where you’re located, and how they can reach you (because, yes, those 3 AM emails do happen).
And let’s be honest – if you don’t have a website in 2024, people might think you’re still faxing your invoices. It’s your business’s chance to stand out, be searchable, and show you’re ahead of the game.
What Happens Next?
01. Let's Chat First
We’ll start by having a relaxed conversation about your business and what you’re hoping to achieve with your website. Got ideas? Great! No clue? No worries – we’ll figure it out together. It’s all about understanding your business, your goals, and how you want your online presence to feel.
02. Planning and Brainstorming
After our chat, I’ll put together a map for your website. We’ll decide on things like the number of pages, navigation, what content goes where, and any special features you might need (like a blog or contact forms). It’s your site, so you’re in control, but I’m here to offer ideas and suggestions to make it the best it can be.
03. Time to Design
With the plan locked in, I’ll get started on designing the look and feel of your website. You’ll see a preview of how it’ll look – colours, layout, style – and I’ll make sure it’s a great fit for your brand. This is where you can give feedback, and we’ll adjust anything you want until you’re happy with the design.
04. Building the Site
Once the design is approved, I’ll get down to the nitty-gritty of building the site. This part’s all about turning that design into a fully functional website. It’ll work seamlessly across all devices, from phones to desktops, and I’ll make sure everything runs like clockwork.
​
05. Fine-Tuning and Testing
Before we go live, we’ll go over everything together to make sure it’s spot-on. I’ll test the site thoroughly – checking links, forms, and making sure everything looks perfect on every screen. If we spot anything that needs tweaking, we’ll fix it up before the big launch.
​
06. Ready for Launch!
And now for the exciting part – launching your website! Once everything’s good to go, your site will be live and ready for visitors. I’ll also give you the info you need to manage it moving forward, so you’ll feel confident keeping things fresh. Need help after the launch? I’m still here to support you!
​
I’m here for the entire journey – from brainstorming the first idea to hitting the launch button. You’ll have input every step of the way, making sure your website reflects your business perfectly. Plus, we’ll make the process smooth and enjoyable, so building your online presence feels like a win!
