Discovery Phase

Stage 2: Discovery & Planning

Defining Goals

Before our designers lay down a single pixel, we listen. The more we understand about your specific services, your core competitors, and your long-term goals, the better your website will convert.

Creative Phase

Stage 3: Homepage Design

Visual Blueprint

The homepage establishes the entire voice and aesthetic of your digital store. Instead of building out dozens of sub-pages first, our strategy is to focus completely on perfecting this single view first.

This acts as our foundational blueprint, ensuring we build with consistency across the remaining layout.

🛠 What We Perfect:

  • 🎨 Layout Structure & Visual Hierarchy
  • 🖼 Typographic pairing & palettes
  • 🧭 Main Header & Navigation paths
  • 🎯 Primary call-to-actions (CTAs)

💡 Guidelines for Review

Reviewing designs can sometimes feel overwhelming. To make it simple, we recommend reviewing in layers:

  • ✔️ Feel & Vibe: Does this match your overall business tone?
  • ✔️ Structure: Is navigation natural and intuitive?
  • ✔️ Action: Are the lead generation zones highly obvious?
*Don't sweat small typos yet! We can correct content errors easily down the line. Focus heavily on general structural structure.
Core Engineering

Stage 4: Website Development

Coding & Integration

Once you sign off on the home design blueprints, our engineering team gets to work. This is where we hand-translate flat graphic layouts into lightweight, responsive code.

What goes on under the hood:

📱 Mobile responsive checks
⚡ Page speed loading checks
🔌 Custom form config
🏃 Animation & interactions
Pro-tip for Launch

Missing text copy or files?

Don't let missing written paragraphs stall your project. Our engineers can simply apply beautiful placeholder templates so we don't drop momentum.

We'll provide a straightforward punch list of outstanding assets before going live.

Refinements

Stage 5: Review & Feedback

Interactive Proofing

No long, messy email chains, screenshots, or attachments here. We build with transparency using a modern, interactive feedback platform.

When we send you your active proofing link, all you have to do is navigate, click on any element, type your comment, and tap submit.

1 Navigate to the staging build
2 Click on any image, block, or layout spacing
3 Send comment instantly to our engineering board

💡 Pro-Review Strategy

Rather than sending separate bullet points throughout the week, we recommend running a complete page-by-page review of the build in a single sitting. Consolidating adjustments ensures our engineering team gets revisions processed cleanly and efficiently.

Quality Assurance

Stage 6: Final Review

The Pre-Flight Check

Before flipping the final network switch, we run one final complete verification round. We want you to review the site to ensure everything matches your expectations.

🚀 What to verify in this stage:

Phone numbers & email addresses
Correct logo files & layouts
Functional form routes
Downloadable links
Staff member bio cards & names
Legal Policies & T&C templates
Going Live

Stage 7: Website Launch

Deployment

Congratulations! Your hard work pays off today.

On launch day, our team performs a complete visual and technical migration checklist:

✓ Publish database configuration and web domain updates
✓ Set live routing for target email servers and custom contact forms
✓ Activate SSL Encryption and secure certificate checks
✓ Run baseline mobile performance and caching scripts
✓ Configure fundamental index maps for search engines
🍾

Zero interruption to your active systems

Don't worry—most launches take place seamlessly, with little to zero interruption to current active websites.
