Once you contact us, either by email or phone call, we will get to know you, your goals, mission, and ultimate vision. We simply want to breathe the same air that you breathe. From understanding why you started your business or work for the business and what the pain points are for you and your customers, to learning about what products and services you offer to your target audiences and also learning how you define success in regards to internet marketing.

Once we have all of this great information about your business, our Colorado Springs website developers will start to create mockups of a new website to present to you for your approval to ensure you will love your new website. This may include getting your feedback on some of your favorite websites, colors, website structures, and even learn from you the pet peeves you may have and learn what you may hate about some websites and designs. This may sound odd, but if you don’t like floating headers, we’re not going to add it. If you don’t like the color blue, stock images, or contact forms on pages, well again, we’re going to factor this into your web design process, and if there are any issues that may conflict with your future SEO, social media, or your digital marketing strategies, we will share with you our professional thoughts, but this is your website and we want you to be happy.

We want the entire web design process to be as easy as possible. Once you’re ready to work with us and our website design experts, we will provide you with a proposal, contract, and invoice to get started. This is all very simple. Here are the three parts: 1, You will get an email with a link to view your custom web design & development proposal. When you open this up, this includes an outline of services, statement of work, and costs breakdown. If you agree with the terms, work to be rendered, costs, and the contract including how we care about your privacy, you electronically sign the contract and then you will automatically go to the invoice to pay any deposits, fees, or costs required to get started.

Once this step is completed, then our web designers will get started on your web design project. Simply and easy friend!

You must have a domain name for your new website build. So we will work with you to ensure you have a domain name ready for your new website. 99% of web design customers who contact us already have a domain name, so this is no issue.

Now if you’re starting a new website for your business and need help with finding a new domain name, we have services to help with domain name discovery, purchasing, and implementation.

With your new website design, you will need some sort of web hosting for your website to get found online. A web host is where we will upload your new web design including files, text, content, images, and media in general.

Now if you already have a website, then there is a great chance that you already have a web host and so no problem at all. But if this web design project is new, then we can help you with your web hosting needs.

So it may seem like the web design and website development process is taking a long time to get to this step, but honestly, it’s not a long process. Basically, we find out who you are and what your goals are, we agree to work together, find out if you have a domain name and web hosting, and now we get to work.

The development process involves building a website that will showcase your products, services, and business in a positive light. We take inventory of your content, text, media, colors, and design styles to build out the rough draft of your website. Typically this process takes 3-5 days.

After our web developers are finished with the rough draft of your new website, we submit it to you and then work with you on edits, changes, and updates to finalize the project.

So how long does this step take? Well depends on how many changes you, the client, needs. The rough draft version of your website should be nearly perfect and ready to launch because of our excellent communication with you during the consultation stage. But in the event there are changes you need to be done, we will gladly change as much as you need until the website is ready to launch.

Ready for blast off! At this point, our web design experts have completed the building of your new business website, and now it’s ready to be launched and viewable live to the world.

So what’s next? Well as with many WordPress websites, there will be daily, weekly, and potentially monthly updates that you will want to perform to stay current and to keep your website working properly. This can include your updating plugins, theme, and WordPress version updates. You can easily do this yourself, but we do offer a very affordable monthly website maintenance plan where we will keep your website up to date. We also offer website maintenance training if you, or if you have an employee who will be maintaining your website needs initial help getting started. Worse case, we’re always an email or phone call away if you get stuck!
