We have written an article with the answers you expect to find when looking for a web designer near you. Answers such as: How much it will cost? What is the build duration? How is the communication during the build? Will I own the website or return ownership? Last but not least if SEO is provided?
Looking For Local Web Designer / Developer
Building A Website In Australia? Don’t Do It Before Reading This! Look Web Design is time-consuming, so usually, it’s easier to hire an expert to build you a website. Some people tend to hire people overseas to do it for them because there are much cheaper.
A lot of people have been burnt by overseas web designers. Either their website was never delivered on time, the standard was terrible, communication was almost nonexistent during the build because of different time zones that led to a substandard website or they never received their website at all but money had been paid.
Hence the reason a lot of people prefer hiring a local guy, one they can easily see or call. Usually, the person making the website can easily update them on the progress that has taken place. Usually through 3 vital stapes.
1. Consultation
This is the stage, the web designer gets to find out about your business idea or plan. The colors that you intend to go for and how generally you want the look and feel of the website to be.
2. Mood-boarding
Bigg Buzz describes a Mood board as “a collection of designs, images, shapes, symbols, and colours that represent your brand. A mood board will typically stem from brand messaging or a unique value proposition, and from there, it will likely evolve into a style guide, giving the brand a foundation to go off of when creating new marketing materials, products and more.
Having a mood board for your brand ensures all marketing and promotional materials are consistent and portray the same message.”So during this process, typically, we agree with the client on the type of font to use, the images, colours and inspirational sites, to fully establish the look and feel of the website.
Wire Framing
Wireframing in web design is the process of sketching a website using paper or tools such as Abobe XD. Most web designers and developers use these tools as they are interactive and help and help with bringing out beautiful aesthetics.
Such tools help the client almost have a clear picture of what the website will look like before its built.
*It is important to note that nothing is set in stone and changes can be made at this stage, but not too many ridiculous changes as they can deviate from the earlier planned scope of work.
The Mood board stage is used by web developers to see if you are on the same wavelength when it comes to the overall design of the project and expectations.
