Website Design & Build Services

Process Overview

🛠️ Website Design and Creation Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to transform ideas into a fully realised website:

1. Wireframe Stage (Outline Sketch)

  • A wireframe is a basic visual layout of the web page or app interface.

  • It focuses on:

    • Structure and layout

    • Content placement

    • Core functionality

  • No colours, fonts, or images are used at this stage — it’s purely structural.

📄 Accompanied by a written client brief to align on goals and requirements.

 

2. Website Build

Once the wireframe and brief are approved, we move into the complete website build:

  • Application of a full colour scheme

  • Selection of fonts and typography

  • Addition of images, icons, and videos as needed

  • Creation of all website pages, functionality, testing, go-live process etc.

 

3. Responsive Layouts

The website is now adapted to multiple screen sizes:

  • 🖥️ Desktop (PC)

  • 📱 Mobile

  • 📊 Tablet

Roles & Processes

📝 Client Supplied

At a minimum, a client needs to supply:

  • A detailed brief outlining goals, content, and key functionality

  • (Optional) A design wireframe – helpful for reducing project cost and time

  • Content copy and images. These need to be in the appropriate sizes and formats

    • Generic or stock images can be provided upon request

    • Content copy assistance can be provided – see AI-Copy page.

 

🌐 Website Creation Process

Using your brief and wireframe (if supplied), I create a full, professional WordPress website.

If a wireframe is not supplied, I will design it for you, with live sharing options, so you can follow its progress.

  • I begin with a desktop version of the site

  • I apply a mix of:

    • Classic graphic design principles

    • Modern UI/UX patterns

    • Insights from user behaviour studies

  • We go through 3–4 review rounds to refine the website to be how you envisioned it

  • Once approved, I adapt the desktop version for:

    • Tablet

    • Mobile phones

Website Build

This follows straight on from the wire-frame design process. This direct move saves you both time and money.

I currently only build websites using the WordPress Content Management System(CMS) and the Elementor website design software, together with the appropriate WordPress plugins (e.g. WordFence).

Website Build Note

When you commit to a specific build software, you are tied to using it for the life of the website.

This means you will need to meet the ongoing support and/or costs of these specific software products.
