GETTING STARTED

Here's an overview of what we need and an overview to help guide you along before we begin!

The video is only 1 minutes and 21 seconds, don't skip it 😉.

1. Notion - Project Management

Notion is an awesome online platform for communication and project management. We’ll be using this to send messages, share files and track progress during the process. This will help alleviate content and images being lost in long email threads.

Once your project is underway, you’ll receive an email to set up your Notion project and we’ll be off and running!

2. What Content We Need

Style Guide

Brand style guide, colors or any specific design requirements.
These items can be uploaded to your Notion account. If you don't have all of these items, don't worry. Just let me know, and I will help you out.

3. The Design Process

Designing a website, no matter how big or small, is an extensive process that can be overwhelming (good thing you hired me to do it for you 😊).

To help you understand what to expect during the design and development, I’ve outlined my process into 3 steps:

Layout & Design

A large and time consuming part of designing a website is in the planning and layout stage of the process.

I’ll create the sitemap (Page/Menu hierarchy) of the website for approval first, then I’ll design the home page and a sub page (or more upon request) for approval.

Development

Once the site layout and design is approved, I’ll move forward with developing the entire site and add all functionality.

We’ll make sure your site looks great and functions nicely across all devices and web browsers before moving to the final step.

Edits & Revisions

Once the site is ready for final review, you’ll be able to review each page and we can make detailed edits until the site is revised completely.

We ask that you please review ALL pages to make sure all spelling, grammar, addresses and information are correct before going live.

4. Wrapping Up & Going Live!

Once the site is ready to go live, all unnecessary, pages, images and backend files will be removed. The new site will be backed up and saved locally, should it ever need restored. Once live, it may take between 24-48 hours for the new site to pull up on some devices. Some computers will need to be refreshed in order to see the new site, though most computers will see the new site immediately depending on the wifi connection and where they are in relation to the location of server that the website is on.

Your website logins and all credentials will be sent to you via Notion or secure email insuring the security of your passwords. Though your logins and passwords will be saved by me locally, PLEASE SAVE ALL LOGINS FOR YOUR RECORDS AS WELL. Upon completion, you’ll receive a link to my “moving forward” page where you’ll receive tips and tricks on what to do with your new website! Cheers!
