Once these things are in place and you’re bursting with excitement and pride, you’ll be asked to officially sign off on your branding. Your logo pack will then be delivered.
If you’re an Elevate client, you can fly the design hive, confident your branding is a true representation of your business. If you’re a Soar client, it’s time to dive into the website process…
For Elevate clients, this is where your final payment falls due. For Soar clients, your second installment falls due.

Got there
You’ll be presented with two design concepts, each of which will fully showcase a complete brand identity. This will help you visualise, and get excited about, how your new brand could look. You’ll choose your favourite and we’ll make any refinements (if required) before moving on to finalise your full style guide, colours, patterns and textures.

On your Project Start Date, I’ll get to work researching, developing, sketching and experimenting before presenting you with the design strategy. This will showcase what I think will work visually for your brand. You’ll choose the inspiration board(s) you’d like to move forward with, and I’ll make a start on your design concepts.

Strategy
THE BRAND PROCESS

This step requires you to complete my Project Brief Questionnaire – this is a set of questions that ensures I perfectly understand your business and brand.
The questionnaire covers everything from why you started to any preferences you may have on the design. Please set aside time to complete this for, I recommend at about an hour.
Once I’ve received the Project Brief Questionnaire with your answers, it’s time for your consultation. We’ll cover everything from understanding your ideal client to the look and feel of your website such as typography and colours. Then the exciting design work begins!
If you’re a W Website Design client, skip to step seven.

As soon as you’re booked in, you’ll be given access to a dedicated area on my website – 'Your Account'. Your Account is used to submit any information I need, and where you’ll keep track of your project and review design work.
Before we begin, there are preparation tasks to complete, so make a note of your tasks and any deadlines. As we get closer to your project start date I'll contact you to see how you're getting on and schedule a consultation.

welcome
Once you’ve decided which service is right for you, to start things off you’ll need to complete my proposal enquiry Booking Form . You can also book a Discovery Call if you'd like a chat first. The on-line form gathers all the basic details I need to enable me to send you a bespoke proposal. I’ll review your booking request, and assuming the information is all good to go, I’ll be in touch via email with your proposal/contract.
After you’ve reviewed the proposal/contract and confirmed we’re good to go, I’ll send over an invoice for your deposit.

THE START
jump to: branding process | website process | support
When you are ready we will schedule your launch date, and you’ll be given admin access to your website. You will have access to your Webkit Resources for videos, tutorials and how to guides and post-launch site guidelines. Once the website is live, you’ll receive for a limited period weekly emails full of tips and advice to help you make the most of your website.
For the first twelve months after launching, I'm still here providing complimentary support should you need it. The website is all yours now you can do what you do best and WOW your customers and clients with your gorgeous new site, but I’ll still be around should you prefer editorial updates to be done by me.

Always working collaboratively with my clients, when you have your new website to preview, you’ll have three opportunities to request refinements. I will provide you with a link to a view of your Website where you can easily drop a pin on an area you want to provide feedback and request refinements for what you need.
You’ll have a deadlines for each refinements phase and it’s a good idea to make a note in your schedule and allow plenty of time for previewing your gorgeous new website.
As we approach the end of the refinements phase, I will start to prep for your launch and ensure you have everything in place to launch your website.

I will draft out your website framework, then get to work on the development of your website, so this means that your first look at your new website will be a fully functioning website – how exciting! I do this for several reasons:
Having a fully built out website, streamlines the process and makes it easier for you to visually see, test and experience your website and brand on an actual website rather than a one dimensional document. I find this approach works best for my clients.

We’ll take some time as part of your consultation to talk about your vision for the new website, covering the aesthetic and technical elements. It’s important your site is both functional as well as captivatingly gorgeous, so we’ll talk through the experience you want for your clients and the admin to see if there’s anything else that your website can do to make running your business easy.
I’ll also go through all of your site content/copy, check over your images, and ensure your site map works perfectly, this is where we work out how your customers/clients will move through your website, ultimately, how they’ll reach your desired end goal. Then you can relax for awhile!
