What would be the ideal process to have a website?
Definition of objectives and audience
Before starting with the design and development of the website, it is crucial to be clear about the objectives you want to achieve with it and who will be the target audience.
These objectives must be relevant and achievable, aligned with the vision and mission of the business, and supported by concrete tracking metrics to measure progress. Simultaneously, understanding the audience is crucial to designing a website that resonates with potential customers.
This involves conducting thorough market research, segmenting the audience into demographic and psychographic groups, and creating ideal customer profiles. Ongoing feedback and data analysis is key to adjusting the audience strategy as needed and ensuring that the website meets the needs and expectations of the target audience, thus contributing to the achievement of established business objectives.
Creation of texts
We reach a stage where many companies face challenges. We often receive requests from companies interested in having a website, but lack a clear concept of what they want. It is essential that the company has defined objectives and a clearly identified audience, as this will provide us with the necessary foundation to create relevant and effective web content.
Usually, providing texts for products or services is simpler, while the wording of the brand’s differentiating points tends to be more complex.
Here are some important questions you should consider:
Brand Manual
A brand manual establishes clear guidelines on how the visual elements of the brand, such as the logo, colors, fonts and image styles, should be used. This ensures that all marketing materials, from the website to brochures to social media, maintain a consistent and recognizable look and feel, which strengthens the brand identity.
In case the company does not have a defined brand manual, we are prepared to offer this service. It is crucial to establish the brand identity before starting the visual part of the web development. Otherwise, lack of clarity about the visual direction may not only delay the project, but also negatively affect the site development experience.
Let's get to work
Our team of highly trained web designers will take the raw material provided by the client to present a first proposal. In their work, they will analyze the competition, the brand manual and the texts provided by the client to create this first visual proposal.
Feedback until the target is reached
According to the previous commitment with the client, our agency will establish a work schedule with minimum and maximum delivery times. To meet these objectives, it is essential to maintain fluid communication with the client and understand their preferences and requirements for the development of the website.
During the agreed period, the client will have the opportunity to express their opinions, which will allow our team of experts to carry out their work in an agile and professional manner, thus ensuring client satisfaction.
Functional tests
Functional testing ensures that all website functions and features work as expected. This includes navigation, contact forms, shopping cart functionality (if applicable), among others. By performing thorough testing, any bugs or malfunctions can be identified and corrected before the site goes online.
