Our 7-Step Website Design Process
From kickoff to launch, here’s exactly how we build conversion-ready websites for high-growth brands.
-
1. Project Onboarding & Set Up
We spin up Basecamp, gather brand assets, confirm access, and define success metrics. You’ll know who’s accountable for every deliverable before design begins.
-
2. Discovery Workshops
Through stakeholder interviews and competitive audits, we uncover your unique value proposition, target audiences, and conversion pathways.
-
3. Strategy & Information Architecture
We craft SEO-informed sitemaps, content outlines, and UX flows that map user intent to business goals, ensuring no page is built in isolation.
-
4. Wireframes & Content Direction
Low-fidelity wireframes highlight hierarchy, messaging prompts, and interaction patterns so your copy, design, and development teams stay synchronized.
-
5. Visual Design & Prototyping
Mood boards evolve into pixel-perfect UI screens. We present interactive prototypes, collect consolidated feedback, and iterate until sign-off.
-
6. Development & CMS Build
Our engineers translate approved designs into performant, responsive builds on WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify—using best-in-class tooling and clean code standards.
-
7. QA, Launch & Optimization
We run multi-device QA, ADA scans, performance tuning, and analytics tagging. After launch, we provide a 30-day optimization window and training sessions.

Website Design Process FAQs
Still curious about timelines, responsibilities, or tech requirements? We’ve got answers.
How long does the Website Design and Development process take? +
Most brochure-style websites launch within 8–10 weeks. Ecommerce and web apps can take 12–16 weeks depending on integrations and content readiness. Keep in mind that every site, depending on the complexity, will have their own timelines. These are just guidelines.
Can we plug in our own designers or developers? +
Absolutely. If you have designers and have wireframes or Figma files ready, we can definitely use those and collaborate further on that. If you don't, then our designers can design it for you. We routinely hand off approved UI kits, component libraries, and technical documentation to in-house or third-party dev squads. We remain available for design QA and consultations.
What tools do you use for collaboration? +
We have our own Client Portal for project management, Figma for design and prototypes, Google Meet for async walkthroughs, and Gmail/Slack for other communications. If your team prefers Jira, Asana, or ClickUp, we can integrate our workflow.
Do you provide content and SEO support? +
Yes. Our content strategists optimize page outlines, craft SEO briefs, and deliver keyword-rich copy that aligns with your brand voice. Technical SEO, schema, and analytics tagging are included pre-launch.
