This checklist covers the key areas so we can get started and efficiently manage your web design project. Please read through and let us know if any questions.
Provision of content and images * We create a development site * We produce a draft outline of the home page for review and approval (using placeholder content)
We build the rest of the pages/functionality and design around the content provided in line with the home page design * Review, revisions and approval * Optimisation for mobile devices * Migration to live server
Please provide full login access to any existing online platforms.
If you are providing colour preferences or a mood board, let us have:
Please provide content based on the agreed pages and sections of the site specification, with headings, sub-headings and paragraphs clearly shown.
For multilingual sites:
If you have an existing site and we are uploading your blog articles, then we require access to your existing site. Otherwise, we will show you how to create and modify blog posts and attach featured images.
As a general rule, we only start the website build once we have around 70% of the content for the site, (e.g. sections, headings, sub-headings, text and images) since much of the design and layout depends on the content.
We can use some placeholder images and dummy copy, but it is best to send us as much final content as possible before we start building to avoid using up time that can be spent on revisions.
Translations must be provided in a separate word document per page and section by section, with the original language paragraph above its translated section to avoid confusion and keep the process efficient. Any extra work to format translation content will be chargeable..
Please ensure that third party content providers (such as copywriters, and translation agencies) supply content based on the agreed layout.
Content and images provided must be compatible with the agreed site design and layout, for example orientation
If your graphic designer is providing mockups, e.g; static design visuals from which we are building the site, this must be also approved by us so as to ensure that graphics, motion features and layout fall within the build specification and quote.
We will send a link to a shared Google Drive folder for you to upload all documents and images.
N.B. We do not accept images over messaging apps or email as this is difficult to keep track of and may cause quality issues.
Sometimes it can take a while for us to receive new content, either from your team, or other suppliers who need to schedule the work in, for example revised copy from a copywriter and graphics from a graphic designer.
Please factor this in to your expected time scales for the build process. Once we get your revisions, we will schedule this in as soon as possible, but that any third party delays may affect the overall estimated build time.
Please designate 1 main person only for providing all content provision and revisions, and for liaising on the design project.
