Website redesigns are more than just a visual makeover—they are a strategic overhaul that aligns digital presence with business goals and at Conv3rt Marketing, we believe in crafting websites that not only look great but also drive engagement, improve user experience, and achieve measurable results. Let’s take you through our comprehensive website redesign process with insights from two of our projects: Tiddles Childcare and Everybody Counts.
1. Discovery Phase: Understanding your business and goals
Our journey begins with understanding your business. We dive deep into your brand, audience, and objectives to ensure the new website aligns perfectly with your vision.
Example: Tiddles Childcare For Tiddles Childcare, we conducted in-depth interviews with the management team to grasp their philosophy of nurturing young minds through innovative play. During this process, we also looked at their competitors in the local area, ensuring their USP was centre stage to stand out from the crowd.
Key Activities include:
- Stakeholder interviews
- Audience research
- Competitive analysis
- Current website analytics review
2. Planning Phase: Crafting the blueprint
With insights gathered, we create a detailed project plan. This includes wireframes for site structure, a content strategy, and a list of required functionalities.
Example: Everybody Counts Everybody Counts, an EdTech company, needed a website that could effectively communicate their mission, and showcase their product. We developed a sitemap that organised their wealth of content into easily navigable sections and created wireframes that outlined how users would interact with these elements.
Key Activities:
- Developing wireframes and sitemaps
- Content strategy planning
- Setting project milestones
3. Design Phase: Bringing concepts to life
Next, we translate the blueprint into visually compelling designs that reflect your brand’s identity. Our designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also intuitive, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Example: Tiddles Childcare For Tiddles Childcare, we chose a playful yet professional design. Vibrant colours, engaging visuals, and an intuitive layout were key to attracting and retaining the interest of busy parents. We also enhanced the site with animation to give it a playful edge.
Key Activities:
- Designing visual mockups
- Selecting color schemes and typography
- Creating interactive elements
4. Development Phase: building the engine
Once the designs are approved, we move on to development. Our team of developers turns the static designs into a dynamic, fully functional website.
Example: Everybody Counts Everybody Counts needed robust functionality for their contact forms to push directly through to their CRM, something which we enabled through embedding forms.
Key Activities:
- Front-end and back-end development
- CMS implementation
- Integration of third-party tools
5. Testing Phase: Ensuring Perfection
Before going live, we rigorously test the website. This includes checking for responsiveness across devices, browser compatibility, and functional testing of all features.
Example: Tiddles Childcare During the testing phase for Tiddles Childcare, we ensured that the site performed well on all devices, from desktops to smartphones. We also tested the interactive features to ensure smooth functionality and checked that all links and forms were working correctly.
Key Activities:
- Cross-device and cross-browser testing
- Functional testing
- Security checks
6. Launch Phase: Going Live
With testing complete and final adjustments made, we launch the website. But our work doesn’t end here. We monitor the site closely to ensure everything operates as expected and provide support for any post-launch issues.
Example: Everybody Counts On the launch day for Everybody Counts, we ensured a smooth transition to the new site without any downtime. Our team monitored the site’s performance and quickly addressed any minor issues that arose, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
Key Activities:
- Transferring the site to the live server
- Final performance checks
- Post-launch support
7. Post-Launch Phase: Continuous Improvement
A website is never truly finished. We offer ongoing support and maintenance to keep your site up-to-date and aligned with your evolving business needs.
Example: Tiddles Childcare Tiddles Childcare opted for our post-launch support packages and we continue to update their event calendar and update any relevant sections for them.
Key Activities:
- Regular updates and maintenance
- Performance monitoring
- Analytics and optimisation
