Website Design Process
How it works
JPcreative’s web design process is tuned to cater to prospective clients whether you are business owner or individual who are seeking a professional web designer in Calgary, Alberta.
1-Discovery & Project Scoping
- Discovery Phase: Discuss your project goals, requirements, any existing challenges, desired features, target region & audience, and if there’s an existing logo & visual identity.
- Project Scope: Translate discovery into a concrete plan, including:
- Pages: Number and types of pages (home, about us, contact, service or product pages, etc.)
- Features: Required functionalities (booking calendar, sign up, contact forms, blog, e-commerce, etc.)
- Content: Text and images provided by the client or designer.
- Timeline: Estimated project timeline.
- Budget: Confirm budget range and payment terms.
2-Proposal
- Proposal: I typically present a proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, cost, and deliverables.
- Agreement: A formal agreement can be provided upon request. Otherwise, written approval of the final proposal serves as the working agreement.
3-Project Onboarding & Further Discovery
- Project Start:
After receiving the kick-off deposit, the project begins within 2–3 business days to allow time for preparation. - Onboarding:
I’ll request your assets (e.g., font names, logo files in Illustrator), brand files, and account access for you to provide. You’ll also complete a questionnaire to clarify initial requirements such as booking calendar features, e-commerce needs, content creation, etc. - Further Discovery:
I’ll review and research requirements to narrow down options—such as plugin choices—based on insights from the questionnaire, onboarding, and initial work.
4-Design Phase
- Research & Planning: I conduct further research in key areas such as your target audience and competitors to inform the design approach.
Custom Design Mockups: For custom design, I create visual layouts of key pages—starting with the homepage or landing page. This includes color schemes, typography, and imagery, informed by research and analysis. The remaining pages follow the approved style. Wireframes are available for complex layouts as requested.
Client Feedback, Revisions & Final Approval:
You’ll provide feedback on the mockups, and I’ll make revisions accordingly before final approval.
5-Website Building
The website design and building phase mostly takes place simultaneously.
- Theme Selection & Customization: You and I will choose a WordPress theme that aligns with your website’s design goals and brand identity. I’ll provide recommendations and advice on the best-suited theme.
- Plugin Selection & Setup: This will be chosen depending on your website’s functionality needs. I’ll install and configure plugins for added functionality like contact forms, galleries, and e-commerce capabilities.
- Content Integration: You’ll provide the text, images, and videos you want to include on your website pages. I’ll add and manage the content using the building platform chosen for your project ex) WordPress, Shopify, Wix, etc.
- Page Building: I’ll visually construct the website’s layout and customize the look and feel by adding content elements, arranging sections, and customizing the overall look and feel.
- Basic Performance Optimization: Throughout development, I will optimize your website’s performance by compressing images, minifying code, enabling caching, removing unnecessary elements, and implementing other best-practice optimizations.
- Testing & Preview: You’ll preview your website’s appearance and functionality, and also can test your website for responsiveness and user experiences before publishing it live.
6-Website Launch & Handover
- Website Delivery & Launch: Once the website is built and thoroughly tested, I’ll deliver it for launch on your chosen domain and hosting.
