Phase 1 Blueprint

We’ll kick things off with the Website Workshop, a 2-hour virtual exploration led by our Founder & Creative Director, Caroline. She’ll dive into your business and website goals, audience, brand personality, budget, and more. This interactive workshop is similar to hiring an architect to create a blueprint for a new home before having the cement poured. It’s critical in laying the right foundation and sets your project up for success. And don’t worry — if you have more questions than answers, that’s ok! We’re here to help.

Get Started

Phase 2 Implementation

After we finalize your Blueprint, we’ll get to work creating your new site according to the plan we established.

Content Writing

Our seasoned copywriters will craft the right words for your website. Whether it’s only a few pages of copy, an entire overhaul of your existing messaging, or any other content needs, we’ve got you covered. Our copywriting approach is rooted in user experience, branding, and information architecture.

Deliverable

You’ll receive a document with comprehensive website messaging. It will be mapped out based on your approved website structure, so you’ll get a clear understanding of messaging hierarchy and placement. 

Design & Development

Next, our design and development team will get to work building your site. We’ll build out a logical structure, add stylistic elements, and input copy so it all comes together just the way you want it to. Using a mobile-friendly approach, our team will make sure your site puts its best foot forward no matter the device it’s viewed on.

Output

You’ll get a thoughtfully constructed, on-brand website that wows your customers. We’ll keep the website in “preview” mode so that we can get it just right before it goes live in the next step.

Training & Launch

It’s go time. Once you give us final approval on the website design, we will hit “publish” and share your new website with the world. During this phase, we will set up website hosting, connect your website to a domain (URL), and ensure a solid SEO (Search Engine Optimization) foundation so that your site appears in Google search results. Finally, we’ll provide a tutorial on how to make basic edits to the site yourself.

Output

You’ll get a perfectly polished live website, and the training you need to make basic edits yourself. Prefer us to take care of website edits for you? That works, too – we’re happy to help with as much or as little as you want us to.

Phase 3 Iteration

After go-live, we’ll set up a custom dashboard that allows you to access your website data in a way that’s meaningful and actionable. We’ll use this data to recommend changes that will improve your website and business performance over time. You’ll have the tools you need to make these website changes yourself, but we’re always happy to help, too.
