Here are 4 key steps of website design process from start to finish :

1. Planning & Discovery

  • Goal Setting: Understand the purpose of the website (e.g. e-commerce, portfolio, informational).

  • Audience Research: Identify target users and their needs.

  • Content Planning: Define sitemap and key pages (home, about, services, etc.).

  • Technical Requirements: Choose platform (WordPress, custom code, etc.), features, and integrations.

2. Wireframing & Design

  • Wireframes: Create basic layouts for structure and navigation.

  • UI/UX Design: Design high-fidelity mockups using tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.

  • Visual Identity: Incorporate branding—colors, fonts, logos, imagery.

  • Feedback & Revisions: Review and adjust based on client or stakeholder feedback.

3. Development

  • Front-End Coding: Build HTML, CSS, JavaScript for the user interface.

  • Back-End Setup: Set up server, databases, and CMS (if applicable).

  • Responsive Design: Ensure mobile and tablet compatibility.

  • Testing & QA: Fix bugs, test speed, SEO, forms, and cross-browser functionality.

4. Launch & Maintenance

  • Deployment: Move the site to a live server.

  • Final Testing: Double-check everything post-launch.

  • Training: If applicable, teach client how to use and update the site.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: Update content, fix issues, manage backups, and monitor performance.
