This week we go over a common question we get at Clikzy Creative. Do you need a custom website design, or will a template do the job? We find using a template or off the shelf WordPress theme can work for very small websites that do not require the need to be unique or memorable.
I recently moved to the DC area and am trying to get settled. One of the first things I’ve done is to look for places where I can get good food.
I’ve also taken up a hobby of watching pretty much every Gordon Ramsey show (he has like 80 of them if you have access to the BBC, Food Network, and Top Chef.) Recently, I’ve been interested in finding a good burger. You can’t go wrong with a burger; it’s meat, it’s a sandwich, and you can dress it with pretty much anything want.
There are a lot of ways to define a best website design company. At Clikzy Creative, we feel highlighting best website design company trends in various industries is one of the top ways to show our experience.
Note: For this blog we are showing a WordPress website, but the same issue can be found with any content management system (Joomla, Drupal, Magento, .NET, etc).
An up to date version of your content management system can safeguard against your site being hacked. A website owner who had her site built on WordPress contacted our team today to troubleshoot a small problem on her website. She said when she clicked on her portfolio images on her homepage they were not displaying the images clicked.
We will be hosting our second Beer and Website talk on 20 February 2013 @ 7:00PM. This months talk will focus on how to rank your website locally.
A level playing field in the cut throat world of business is a figment of the imagination. You will undoubtedly need to carve a place out for yourself, or the corporate dogs are going to swallow your small business whole. Don’t worry, this doesn’t need to be as gruesome as a Tarantino film, there is a light at the end of the tunnel – this light is called online marketing, and its usefulness is entirely dependent on the marketing campaign that you are able to build and its sustainability in the face of some tough competition.
Discovery
Discovery is the most important phase of the design process. This is when we get to know your company, your brand, your goals, and your objectives. The design process is a collaboration between client and agency. We want to give you the best and most effective product possible. To do this, both parties have to do some homework. The client must know what they want to convey to their site audience, and we must know how to convey that message(s) in the most effective way.
Questionnaire and Site Map
To begin our discovery process, we ask our clients to thoroughly fill out a website questionnaire that we created. The questionnaire guides the design process by giving our design team the overall direction to take with each custom design. If this questionnaire is filled out fully and thoroughly, our designers are always in the ballpark when it comes to creating wireframes and mockup designs. The client will tell us websites they like and dislike, competitor websites, goals and objectives, keywords for SEO purposes, and more.
Kick-off Phone Call
During the kick-off phone call we go over the questionnaire and sitemap to make sure we are on the same page. Depending how thoroughly the questionnaire was filled out, a kick-off call can be a brief 5 minutes, to a lengthy 2 hours. Our designers will ask for any clarifications they may need, and our clients will ask any questions they have on their end as well.
Content
We believe it is never too soon to start gathering your content, especially for the homepage. To move from discovery into a homepage wireframe, we ask that you tell us what information (text, charts, images, videos, contact forms, etc.) you need to have displayed on the homepage. The relationship between agency and client is like that between homeowner and contractor. Kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms – they all have 4 walls, but each room serves a different purpose. We will take care of the (information) architecture; we just ask that you tell us what room we’re building.
Wireframe
A wireframe is the skeleton of your site. By building a rough outline of your site (black and white, no graphics) we ensure that every piece is in place. It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done. This bare-bones layout reveals the structure of the site without distracting stylistic treatments. At this point, if there are any content changes, they can easily be made without disrupting the design.
Mockup
This is the point where our designers wave their magic wands/mouses and transform your rough site plan into a real design. We summon all of our Photoshop/Illustrator talent and design know-how to create a website that not only works, but wows.
Revisions
We want you to love your website. The feedback you provide drives the design process. Before we develop your site we make sure that every detail has been approved. We’re flexible so you don’t have to be.
Development
Our development team brings your website to life. They slice the designs into HTML and CSS code. The code is then incorporated into a content management system (CMS platform). Here, you can manage any interactive elements, such as updates, news, or blog posts. We test every page to make sure the site is web ready and functioning as planned. Our SEO Company partner.
LAUNCH!
Once you approve the demo of your site – we upload the site to your hosting platform where it becomes live and ready to be searched and viewed by the world wide web! Pete Juratovic Google Plus
Contacting corporate web design companies to talk about your web project can be a little overwhelming, for you and for them! Knowing a few things before you begin making calls can make the process of getting a proposal and quote a lot smoother.
