Your WordPress website design

Our WordPress website design process.

The primary objective of your WordPress website project is to create a bespoke solution that you and your team can easily keep up to date. The website needs to represent your business and highlight its unique selling points (USPs). All of our design decisions are based on thorough research, strategic planning combined with your unique insights.

Our WordPress web design and development process follows a proven process, but what sets us apart is our flexibility. While many agencies stick rigidly to their frameworks, we treat ours as a guideline, allowing us to revisit earlier stages if we see opportunities for improvement. 

Web design process 1 - Discovery workshop

1. Discovery workshop

In the Discovery Workshop, we dive deep into your business to fully understand its unique needs. We’ll discuss your team, operations, company history, customers, and goals, as well as your likes and dislikes. Together, we’ll evaluate your current website and analyse your competitors to uncover opportunities for growth and differentiation.
Web design process 2 - Existing website audit

2. Website audit

Our comprehensive website audit examines every critical aspect of your current site. From SEO performance and user experience to traffic, page speed, and conversion rates, we identify strengths and areas for improvement. This ensures your new website is built on a foundation of clear, actionable insights.
Web design process 3 - Competitor research

3. Competitor research

We conduct an in-depth review of your competitors’ online presence, including their websites, social media strategies, and visibility on search engines and other digital platforms. This analysis helps identify opportunities to set your business apart and create a stronger online presence.

Web design process 4 - Agreeing key performance indicators

4. Agree KPIs

To position your business effectively online, we work collaboratively to define clear goals for your project. We’ll plan the structure, content, and design of your new website while setting measurable KPIs to track success and ensure the project delivers meaningful results.

Web design process 5 - Website specifications and sitemap

5. Specifications & sitemap

We will write a detailed Website Specification to include: sitemap, content structure, page layout, site architecture, customer journey, and calls to action. It serves as a roadmap for the entire project, and you’ll have the chance to review and refine it to ensure it meets your exact requirements.

Web design process 6 - Project management

6. Project management

Your project will be overseen by a dedicated expert from our design and development team. Using Monday.com, we’ll break the project into manageable deliverables aligned with the Website Specification. This ensures a smooth, organised workflow and keeps you informed every step of the way.

Web design process 7 - Website prototyping

7. Website prototype

We begin by creating a prototype of the main navigation and homepage including the header and footer to illustrate the overall direction. Generally we present this as a working prototype so that you can get a better feel for the mobile responsiveness and how the website will flow through the planned sitemap.

Upon approval of the homepage design, we will proceed to design the full website with all inner pages and mobile versions. We may use draft or dummy content at this stage, we will discuss with you the best cause of action.

Our development process begins with a blank canvas, refining every element to deliver a clean, standard-compliant solution. This approach ensures the website meets Google’s requirements for page speed and mobile optimisation. SEO-friendliness, GDPR compliance with a cookie popup, and fast-loading pages are prioritised to create a high-performing, user-focused website.
