What are the steps in website design and website development?
Red Herring Digital has been proudly helping many Australian businesses by providing website design and website development services in Melbourne for over seven years.
When we are in the design and construction phase of a website, we follow this 7-step approach:
Gather information:
In this first stage, we assess and determine what the goals of the website will be and what its purpose is.
Designing:
Once this has been established, we will begin planning and designing the website. This is what’s referred to as wireframing.
Create content:
Next, the team is briefed, and they set to craft the content for the website. This will include the website copy, videos, photos, graphics, etc., being produced and put together.
Coding:
After that, the website’s functionality can be created through code.
Testing:
Following this, the site is reviewed, and we run testing to ensure the website’s functionality is effective.
Action:
After the site is approved and any final edits are made, the site is ready to go live and be made public!
Maintenance:
This ensures everything runs smoothly and any repairs can be done if needed.
Continuing site maintenance is one of the most crucial components for a web design agency offering a comprehensive range of services.
You wouldn’t decorate your storefront display and leave it unattended without upkeep, and we believe the same applies to your website.
We’re different to most Melbourne web design companies and digital agencies. We care about your business, so we’ll stick around and assist with website maintenance.
It’s time to be a success story
What is web design vs. web development?
Web design is the actual layout and design of your platform. It entails all visual aesthetics and the website’s usability. The website’s functionality is also affected by another aspect of web design, its design, menu system, and user interface. Web design includes how the website appears, the information it offers, the logos utilised, the graphics, colours, fonts, prose, and language, among other things. Essentially it is anything the user sees.
ﾠ
On the other hand, Web development is all the coding on the front and back end that builds the website. It’s the technology and functionality that powers the site. By taking web development solutions (like design) and turning them into fully functional platforms, development extends web solutions (like design). The actual code, structure, functionality, and software on which the website is based is referred to as web development.
What is the importance of information architecture in web design?
Information architecture is an important element to consider within web design as this will impact how the content of a website is structured and organised. Getting this right is vital as it will influence user experience and have a run-on effect, ultimately impacting the success of the website itself. If well executed, information architecture will result in intuitive navigation, allowing users to locate content easily. Well-structured information architecture supports SEO efforts by presenting organised and relevant content. It can help guide content planning and assist with creating a clear image of your website goals and user needs. Finally, it can provide a foundation for data-driven optimisations that ensure your website’s long-term success.
Our team understands the importance of information architecture when building your website. We’ll guide you through the process every step of the way, starting with our strategy session. We’ll learn the ins and outs of your brand and its objectives in order to create the right information architecture in our web design. You’ll be involved throughout the process and can have your say in design elements. Our collective of professionals work cohesively together, taking care to craft your website and marketing strategy so you can get ahead.
What is mobile-first design?
How does website performance optimisation impact SEO?
SEO continues to play a vital role in web design and generating traffic. Website performance optimisation can significantly impact SEO and rankings on search engines. This is because search engines like Google prioritise websites that provide a positive user experience. Google recognises websites with fast load times, mobile-optimised, and have well-structured coding and rewards them with a higher ranking on Google for selected keywords. Websites with slow load times aren’t mobile optimised, have too many elements on the page, inefficient hosting, security vulnerabilities, etc., aren’t user-friendly and are therefore penalised. Therefore, having a fully optimised website created with user experience in mind will aid SEO performance and assist with engagement and retention.
Further, when creating new websites, there is a risk of losing your SEO presence that may have previously been built. We consider this when creating websites and strategise how to minimise any disruption to your ranking. One way this can be done is by accurately completing the SEO on-page before migrating your previous website to the new one.
