Our web design process
Our London web designers have streamlined and fine-tuned the art of delivering websites that leave our clients delighted with a product that truly reflects the quality of their services, every time. Our process includes:
01
Discover
We speak with you to learn about your business and what you want to achieve from the website.
The discovery phase is key to finding out what you want to achieve with the new website, and what other websites you have seen that you like or want to be influenced by. We discuss your competitors to see what they are doing and ask you for your current pain points, likes and dislikes about your current website (if you have one).
02
Plan
The planning stage is critical to creating a high-converting, website that is simple and easy to use.
Planning involves developing your new websites architecture through sitemaps and wireframes. This allows us to explore how people are likely to interact with the site and steer your visitors towards your most important products or services. The right structure and layout encourages your users to get in touch, buy or donate through your website.
03
Design
Next, we develop the wireframes into full high-fidelity designs with your branding, images and colour.
We now take the sitemap and wireframes and develop them into the high-quality designs that your users will see when they visit your site. At this stage we add colour, images, video and stylised typography to produce the final appearance of your new website. This is exciting because we start to see the project come to life! We design the home page first and ask you to review that before moving onto the other page types, that will be used throughout the website.
04
Build
The design is now complete, so we start to write code and add pages and blocks within the the new site to populate it's content and make it fully interactive.
We will build the home page first and show you, then move onto the inner pages. This is where the pages become interactive and you will be able to navigate through the website and test it's functionality. If the designs contain any Latin "padding text", we will need your content so we can add that into the pages or you can hire our Copywriter to assist writing content for you (we will provide an estimate for this).
05
Test
The testing stage involves checking your new website works well in major web browsers.
We test your new website across all screen sizes from small mobile devices, through to tablets and large desktop screns. We test on physical devices as much as we can and use an emulator to test any others that we don't have. se to test the site on. We also ask you to help test the site and report back on any bugs so we can fix them as quickly as possible.
06
Launch!
The exciting bit! The website is complete and we set it live!
We will run through the final going live checklist, making sure everything works and copy over the site files and database to the live web space on the server.

The capital city is the hub of business success and entrepreneurship. We wanted to place ourselves right in the middle of the action so we can help businesses of all sizes transform and improve their online presence.

We started working with David at Made Simple Media when we needed alterations and pages added to our website. He has advised us well on what we might like to add, has always been a pleasure to deal with, is reliable, and responds quickly. I would highly recommend working with David and MSM!

We are delighted with the quality of our new website, which has enabled us to effectively communicate our various areas of work and build an engaged and increasingly active audience. The common-sense design and easy-to-navigate structure has also helped us establish our organisational identity following a full rebrand in 2017. The support has been excellent throughout.

Chris, Respirex International
Due to business expansion I needed to make some amendments to a existing WordPress website. I asked Made Simple Media for some suggestions on the ideas I had and he was super helpful and came up with some great ideas to make the website perform and navigate better. Him and his team then did a great job in putting the ideas to practice and I was kept informed as the work was underway. Highly recommend Dave and his team!
