Our Website Design Process: Simple, Transparent, Tailored
In today's digital world, your website isn't just an online brochure – it's your 24/7 storefront, your portfolio, and often, the very first impression you make.
For small businesses and self-employed professionals, a well-designed, functional website is absolutely essential for connecting with your ideal clients and growing your brand.
At Alise Black Studios, we understand that you need a website that not only looks stunning but also works hard for your business.
We specialise in creating bespoke digital experiences that reflect your unique brand, engage your audience, and simplify your online presence.
Let's build your digital home together.
We believe in a clear, collaborative process that takes the mystery out of website creation
Here’s how we bring your vision to life
1. Laying the Foundation: Domain & Hosting
Think of your domain name as your business' address on the internet (e.g., yourbusiness.com.au), and hosting as the land where your website lives. We'll guide you through securing the perfect domain name that's easy to remember and relevant to your brand. Then, we'll help you set up reliable hosting, ensuring your website is always accessible, fast, and secure for your visitors. We handle the technical bits so you don't have to worry!
2. Crafting Your Online Presence: Website Design & Expectations
Whether you need a simple online presence or a full-fledged e-commerce store, we design websites that are intuitive, visually appealing, and optimised for all devices.
-
Static Websites (Perfect for Portfolios & Information): These are ideal for showcasing your services, portfolio, or providing essential business information. They're typically faster to build, easy to navigate, and excellent for establishing a professional online footprint without the need for frequent content updates or online transactions. Think of a beautiful online brochure that tells your story.
-
E-commerce Websites (Your Online Shopfront): Ready to sell your products or services directly online? An e-commerce website provides a secure platform for customers to browse, select, and purchase from you. We integrate user-friendly shopping carts, secure payment gateways, and product management systems to create a seamless buying experience for your customers and an easy management system for you.
-
Basic vs. Custom Design – What's the Difference?
-
Basic Design: Utilises established templates and structures, offering a cost-effective and efficient way to get online quickly. It's perfect for those who need a professional, clean look with standard functionalities.
-
Custom Design: This is where we build your website from the ground up, tailored precisely to your unique brand identity, specific functionalities, and long-term goals. It offers unparalleled flexibility, distinctiveness, and scalability, ensuring your website truly stands out.
-
3. Understanding Project Complexity
Every business is unique, and so is every website project. The complexity of your website will depend on several factors:
-
Number of Pages: More pages generally means more content and design work.
-
Functionality: Do you need a simple contact form, a booking system, a blog, or an extensive e-commerce store?
-
Custom Features: Any unique integrations, animations, or interactive elements will add to the complexity.
-
Content Readiness: Having your text and images prepared can streamline the process significantly.
We'll discuss all these elements during our initial consultation to provide you with an accurate scope and timeline.
4. The Art of Branding: Colour & Font Design
Your website's colours and fonts are powerful tools that communicate your brand's personality and professionalism. We'll work closely with you to select a palette and typography that not only aligns with your existing branding (or helps you create a new one!) but also enhances readability and creates a cohesive, memorable user experience.
Our Stylist Treia is available to assist you with branding colours, style and overall mood; light and bright, dark and moody, colour pops, modern contemporary, or natural and organic.
If you need a logo designed or updated, we can also help. Branding is about making your website feel distinctly you.
5. Unique Photography, Video Reels, Stock Photos
Visuals are paramount in capturing attention and conveying your brand's story. We can help you create, source and integrate stunning imagery and video for your website.
-
Unique Photography & Video Reels: Elevate your brand with custom-shot photography and engaging video reels that showcase your services, products, or personality. At Alise Black Studios we have talented professionals to create authentic visual content that truly sets you apart.
-
Curated Stock Photos: If custom visuals aren't in the budget, we'll carefully select high-quality, relevant stock photos that align with your brand aesthetic and messaging, ensuring your website still looks polished and professional.
6. Getting Found: SEO Creation
What's a beautiful website if no one can find it? Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is about making your website visible to search engines like Google, so potential clients can discover you when they're looking for your services. We implement foundational SEO best practices from the very beginning, including:
-
Keyword Research: Identifying the terms your ideal clients are searching for.
-
Optimised Content Structure: Ensuring your website is organised in a way that search engines understand.
-
Meta Descriptions & Titles: Crafting compelling snippets that encourage clicks.
-
Mobile Responsiveness: Ensuring your site looks great and functions perfectly on all devices.
This foundational work gives your website the best possible start in climbing those search engine rankings.
7. Refinements & Perfection: 3 Free Design Adjustments
We want you to absolutely love your new website. That's why, once the initial design is presented, we include three rounds of design adjustments at no extra cost. This allows us to fine-tune elements, incorporate your feedback, and ensure every detail is just right before your site goes live. Your satisfaction is our priority!
