Our standard 3 week website design process
Any good website designer will give you a standard (or typical) timeline for a customised website. Now, this can depend on whether or not the website designer also offers services like brand design as a package deal. We offer customised Squarespace & Shopify website design, and also a website + branding package. We also offer photography and/or videography which can be paired up with the custom web design, and all these aspects will impact our timeline to get the final website launched!
For this reason, we typically say between 3 to 4 weeks to have you up and running 🤗
Customised Website Process
So why 3 weeks?! Let’s think about it this way, it gives us plenty of time to customise a website based on a client’s needs as well as getting feedback on it, and gives the client a website in a quicker time frame and ready to launch to the world sooner!
A typical timeline of 3 weeks is only possible when we follow a certain process, so let’s run through what that might look like:
Pre-Design Content (client to provide before start date):
Compilation of photography/imagery
Asset pack (e.g. branding, colours, logo, etc)
Week 1:
1 hr consultation on Zoom (typically on the Monday)
Photos/imagery added
Brand design (if applicable)
Color codes + font styles implemented on a mood board
Full desktop + mobile website design
Domain setup
Other content added
Pages styled
Links embedded
Light coding (if required)
Functionality added
Week 2 (the week for client feedback):
Edits requested by Client
Edits completed by Designer
Edits requested by Client (repeat as needed)
Edits completed by Designer (repeat as needed)
Week 3:
Functionality tested
Finishing style touch ups
1.5 hr post-design lesson on Zoom (typically on the Friday)
Website is launched!
Scheduling & Booking
The best way to get in touch with us is via our contact form (so that we can gather some info beforehand 🤩).
We’ll then get back in touch with you within 24 hours, to schedule a free 30 minute strategy call (usually on Zoom so we can meet each other 🤗). Where we’ll talk about what you have in place already (if you have a current website), and what your website goals are from this project. Once we know your goals we can discuss a website user journey & strategy going forward!
The next steps will look like this:
We send through a proposal, detailing exactly what we discussed in the strategy call, along with some Ts & Cs.
If you love what you see and want to go ahead to work with us, we’ll put together a contract for you!
The project commencement payment is 50% of the total fee, and this will also secure your start date into our design calendar.
But do remember, we need all the elements for the website ready before this start date, so that it all runs smoothly! 🤩
