Designing a custom website is a detailed process that starts with a questionnaire. This helps me understand your objectives and goals, ensuring the design aligns with your audience and brand identity. Gaining a comprehensive view allows me to provide a more tailored proposal.

Shall we start on your custom website journey?
Let’s begin by identifying your essential needs!

Website Questionnaire

My Process

  • Proposal: I will prepare a comprehensive proposal that outlines all the specifications and requirements we have discussed. This will include a detailed breakdown of the project stages and the associated costs for each stage, covering the agreed-upon timeline.
  • Confirmation: After you confirm and sign the proposal, I will send you a document outlining the necessary items to initiate the project, along with an invoice for a 20% upfront deposit to secure the next steps.
  • Further Communication: I will prepare a draft proposal based on the insights gathered during our discussions. I will then reach out to you via phone or email to confirm the details and clarify any points as needed.
  • Discovery Process:  To begin, you can either complete the discovery questionnaire (above) or I can email it to you if you prefer. After reviewing your responses, we can discuss your goals further via phone, in person (Christchurch), or online—whichever suits you best.

My custom website designs include:

An interactive mockup of the initial unique design

Before the development phase begins, you'll receive an interactive mockup of your website design based on the details from the confirmed proposal. This allows you to visualise the website layout, colours, and functionality, and ensures the design meets your expectations before we move forward.

Templates you can use for static web pages and for blog pages

I provide custom-designed templates for both static pages and blog posts, built using the flexible Divi Theme. These templates make it easy to maintain a consistent look and feel across your website while also allowing you to add new content or create additional pages effortlessly. Both Wordpress and Webflow offer easy-to-use interfaces enabling you to manage your site without needing technical expertise.

Wordpress or Webflow Training

After your site is launched, I provide personalised training on how to use WordPress or Webflow. This ensures you can confidently manage your site, update content, and make basic edits as needed, without feeling overwhelmed by the platform.

SEO: On-page Search Engine Optimisation using keywords identified from the outset of the questionnaire

I optimise each page of your website with the right keywords, as identified in the initial project questionnaire. This on-page SEO helps improve your website's visibility in search engines. This is a necessary step so your potential customers can find your business online.

SEO: Set up Google Analytics (if required)

I will set up Google Analytics to provide insights into your website’s performance. This tool tracks key metrics such as visitor behaviour, traffic sources, and popular content, which allows you to make data-driven decisions to improve your site.
