OUR WORK
Phase 1 - Plan
This is the very start of your project and arguably the most important stage. We will sit down and learn about your business and it's needs. What do you want the new website design to do? What pain points and gripes do you and your customers currently have that the new design needs to address. What are the main goals of the new website; more enquiries or sign-ups? This phase allows us to clearly identify the issues and validate the new designs against, we achieve this through interviews and analytical tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar that allow us to see where your visitors are entering the website and where they are dropping off and why they might be doing so as well as watching recordings of your visitors behaviour whilst on the website to highlight areas of improvement.

Phase 2 - Design
Your ecommerce site will be designed from scratch in Photoshop, to meet your specific requirements, in a truly collaborative process with one of our skilled in-house designers. We’ll assess key influencing factors such as your target audience and branding, whilst assessing aspects like colour palettes, competitor research and overall visual style, with the aim of finalising a design that perfectly complements your ecommerce objectives. The final pages will then be delivered to you for sign off, before development begins.
25% of the overall cost of the project is due at the beginning of this phase.

Phase 3 - Development
During this phase we’ll populate your ecommerce site with content and the functionality of the site will be fully developed. In cases where we are redesigning an existing website, we will migrate your existing content across to your new site and if copy-writing or new content is required, it will be developed at this stage. We’ll also be adding in your products and setting up shipping and payment capabilities.

Phase 4 - Population
This is the phase in which the website functionality is developed and content populated as outlined in the proposal.
For Ecommerce websites, this means adding products, and set up of shipping and payment capabilities. In the case of website redesigns, content may be sourced from the previous site where applicable. If copywriting or new content is required, this will also be developed at this stage.
25% of the overall cost of the project is due at the beginning of this phase.

Phase 5 - Testing & Launch
Prior to launching your ecommerce site, we’ll be performing thorough testing, checking the functionality and overall integrity of the build to avoid running into any issues after launch. We’ll be initiating test transactions using various payment methods and clusters of products to ensure the process is working flawlessly across your site, and that your in-house operating systems are functioning correctly. There will be a heavy emphasis on website interoperability and mobile browser considerations to ensure your ecommerce site performs seamlessly across all portable devices with technology such as touch screen interfaces.
Search engine optimisation will also be performed during this period if required and CMS training can be provided ahead of launch.
The final 50% of payment is due at the end of this phase, and the project is signed off to go live.
