1. Start with Strategy: Define Goals and Vision
Before design begins or any copywriting starts on the site, first step back and define success: Is it building awareness for your brands? Getting leads qualified? Or could it mean sales through the web? List priorities-and don’t forget to go through your entire product or service array.
Clear goals help give the web design team the direction in order to build an effectively purposeful site for you.
2. Know Your Audience Inside and Out
Your website should be built for your customers, not just your own company. Knowing their demographics, interests, behaviors, and needs helps us create the user experience that resonates with them truly.
When you are working with Web2Byte’s web design team, we will ask the right questions and take the steps needed to build a site that defines and sings directly to your ideal customer.
3. Prioritize: Must-Haves vs. Nice-to-Haves
If we were to look from a bird’s-eye view, it is quite clear from the list above that there is much to love with animations, carousels, chatbots, and so forth, but an excessive number of features will not allow you to take your attention to the primary objectives. Keeping things focused means we categorize your website requests as follows:
- Must-have: Content and functionality that are essential
- Nice-to-have: Things that seem cool to have but are not critical
This helps keep your project within scope and ensures quality UX and performance.
4. Represent Your Brand Authentically
Your website is a digital storefront in itself; thus, it should look and feel like you. Gather the brand guidelines, logo files, preferred fonts, and colors with you. If you don’t have a style guide, then don’t fret! Just provide us with some notes on your brand’s personality and visual tone.
At Web2Byte, we ensure that the web design service understands all the touchpoints of your brand identity.
5. Share Examples You Love
Do you have websites you love? Maybe some competitors or maybe from a whole different industry—but these sites inspire you. Sharing them with us during planning gives us insight into the styles of design and foundations of UX that you actually admire.
We do, of course, conduct our own competitor research; however, this step to align our creative direction with your preferences is worthwhile.
6. Read the Project Scope Carefully
Before starting the build, go ahead and give the contract or project document a thorough read. It should lay down the following:
- Scope and deliverables
- Milestones and timeline
- Budget and payment terms
- Content rights, cancellation policies
Here at Web2Byte, we like to believe that good clarity sets up an easygoing collaborative encounter.
7. Designate a Point Person
At the very least, to keep things streamlined at first, designate one point of contact from the client side. This contact must be organized, communicative, and able to consolidate feedback from any involved internal team. She will then serve as the main interface and will work alongside our dedicated project manager, keeping the project moving and out of the way of conflicting revisions or delivery.
8. Review and Provide Feedback Promptly
Keep in mind to reserve time to review design mockups, content drafts, and development milestones so that you can stay on schedule. Clear and timely feedback will allow us to make iterations quickly and provide a finished product.
Your return feedback is what makes the site successful, and thus we are here to listen, direct, and tweak it to your satisfaction.
9. Invest in Content That Works
Alright, so your text has not only to be creative but also to wow an audience on first impression. Depending on whether it is your own copy or somebody else’s, the messaging must be sent across succinctly through clear customer-focused language and SEO.
Using your photography? Make sure the pictures are of good quality (high-res), on brand, and professionally shot. Decisions about whether to stay on a site or bounce off in seconds—visualism counts.
You need help? Our web design services encompass content strategy and SEO copywriting services to ensure your messaging hits the home run.
10. Write for the Web and SEO
Further, readers online scan for information, and for that reason, your copy should always be kept brief, punchy, and well-structured. Use:
- Short paragraphs
- Clear headings
- Bulleted lists
- Internal links
- Keyword-rich phrases
We’ll provide you with SEO best practices and even some keyword suggestions. The thought is an attractive site that will also be found in search engines.
