My Web Design Process for Small Businesses
1. Initial Consultation
The first step is to get in touch. Complete the form on the contact page and I will be in touch to arrange a Zoom call to find out more about your project.
If you’re ready to go ahead, I’ll send you the proposal. You’ll sign the agreement and pay a 50% deposit. Then, we’ll book in your Website Strategy call.
2. Website Planning
In this step, we plan the content and structure of your website as well as your pages.
3. Wireframe
In this step, I create a wireframe version of your website pages. Wireframes help to organise the content of your pages. They are a black and white version of your pages and contain placeholder copy.
4. Content
Now is the time to work on the content for your website. My content guide will help you write the copy for your website.
5. Website Design
Once you have all the content ready and I’ve received all the website assets from you, I’ll get started with the design of your site.
I’ll be creating mockups of your pages and once you are satisfied with the design, we can move on to the next step.
6. Website Development
Now, I’ll use the approved website design templates to create your new custom, mobile-friendly, responsive WordPress website.
I then fully test the website on different devices to make sure your site looks great on desktop, tablet and mobile.
7. Launch
When everything is completed, tested and you are happy with it all, it’s time to launch your website.
Celebrate and share your new professional website with the world!
8. Website Care & Growth
Launching your website is just the beginning. Websites need maintaining, updating and new content added to stay effective. That’s why I offer Website Care Plans. I take care of your site and provide the support you need for your business to thrive online.

How long does it take to complete a small business website design project?
The timeframe depends on the scope of the project.
We’ll agree on your launch date at the beginning of the project and then map out a timeline.
However, I typically aim to complete projects within a few weeks.
I like working at my own pace. Do you accommodate this?
No, I don’t accommodate working without a timeline.
We’ll agree on your launch date at the beginning of the project and then map out a timeline.
Once we have agreed on the timeline, then I allocated this time to your project.
What website platforms do you work with?
I only work with WordPress and the Divi builder.
Why WordPress? It’s the most popular website builder used by millions of people around the world and powers over 43% of all websites. Search engines like Google love it, making it easy for your clients to find you!
I already have hosting. Can I stay with my hosting provider?
You can stay with your hosting provider BUT I always suggest using our recommended hosting service who provides secure, fast and green hosting.
I don't have a logo or brand style guide. Can you help?
Yes, I can. Please have a look at my branding package.
You will need to have your brand assets (logo, brand style guide, etc.) before I can get started on creating your website.
When can you get started on my small business website design project?
At the moment, I require about one month notice to book a project, but it is usually useful for my clients to have this time to gather all the things they need to get started with their website.
Do your prices include VAT?
I am not VAT registered so there is no VAT to pay.
Will I be able to update my website?
Yes, you will be. BUT it does require some learning as how to use the Divi visual builder. How much of your updates and additions you can do will depend on your ability to use WordPress and Divi.
I provide you video tutorials that show you how to make basic edits to your site.
If you prefer to leave updates to your website to me, I offer website care plans to ensure your website stays in perfect shape.
Do you offer support after the launch?
Yes, absolutely! You can choose one of my website care plans.
How do I get started?
Every web design project starts with a call where we’ll talk about your new website. I will go over the process with you. Afterwards, you’ll receive a proposal, and then you can pay your deposit and secure your start date.
Let’s talk. Book your free consultation.
