Web Design

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Custom Layouts. Custom Programming.

Your business is unique in the products and services you sell. Your website should also be one-of-a-kind and stand out from the competition. That is why we do not use pre-made templates in our web design. Instead we design a custom layout from scratch that is based on research findings of your company and competitors. Additionally, we look at current website trends, standards for search engine optimization and intuitive functionality for the end user.

Steps in the website design & programming process:

1. Our graphic designer will meet with you to first discuss your needs and style preferences.
2. You, the client, will provide us with a logo, text content and imagery to include on the website. All other imagery may be sourced from stock photography. We may also write and/or edit a portion of the content for the website when needed.
3. The Branding Iron will conduct research on your target audience, the industry and competition. Then we will mock up a pdf layout for you to review.
4. Give us your feedback and edits to the website layout. Our graphic designer will revise and refine the layout to meet your needs.
5. Using this layout, we then build a custom website that is not only beautiful, but functional.
6. Next we will upload the site to our server for client review and final edits before it goes live.

All of our websites are built to be mobile friendly and are routinely tested to ensure maximum compatibility with browser and platform updates.  We can develop your site on any platform you choose though most of our clients prefer to have it set up as a custom WordPress template. This allows our clients to update their content whenever and however they wish. Should you need any changes or training on how to use or interact with your website, we are happy to help.

At the end of the day we strive to build you the site you want the way you want it.
