Website Design ⎯ Process
01
INTRO & INSIGHT
Time to get to know you, your brand and goals for your site. I will share a questionnaire for you to fill in. Following that, we can have a call, chat over email or have a coffee — whichever you’re most comfortable with.
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll make it official with a contract and 50% deposit to reserve your project.
02
STRATEGY & CLARITY
I’ll develop a moodboard to clarify your style, send it to you for review and make adjustments until you are happy with the final direction.
03
Content
I will need the following to start developing your site structure:
Copy: All text that you wish to appear on the site, titled with the page/section it needs to go onto. This also includes any contact info you want to appear on your site.
Social media page links: All links to your social media profiles.
Photos: All the images you wish to appear on the site. I am happy to resize them to fit accordingly. I’ll also source stock or free photos (if agreed as part of the quote). This includes photos of you if you want these on your About/Contact pages.
04
Site map
I then develop your site map (how your site is structured). It may be worth looking at the sites in your moodboard at this stage to see what structure you feel drawn to.
05
Site development
I’ll start building your site on Squarespace and send you a password protected link once it’s ready for review. Then we can make amends until you are happy with it (rounds of amends agreed prior to design).
06
SQUARESPACE ACCOUNT SETUP
I’ll add you as an admin to the site and you can set up a Squarespace account. Here’s the link to the Squarespace pricing so you can see the different options: https://www.squarespace.com/pricing
They have a code GIMME10 for 10% off for new users too.
07
Domain and go time
We get the domain finalised in your Squarespace account, then you are ready to go live!
