Web Design Process

Customized Web Design

Creative, professional, and effective web design is what we're all about. At Artonic, we work closely with you from the beginning of your project to the end, with maintenance during and after. Your ideas, goals, and visions are implemented into your design early on, and are a priority throughout the entire process. You know what you want; we know how to make it happen.

Committed Project Manager

At Artonic, you will receive a dedicated project manager (PM) for your website project. This person will guide you through the entire process, to make your part easy throughout the design and creation of your website. We start this process with planning.

Stage One: PLAN

A professional, results-driven website isn't created overnight. In fact, a lot of planning goes into the process of creating a website. Don't worry, though. We'll walk you through each step of the way.

Website Planner Workbook

During the planning stage, your dedicated PM will go over everything with you. Your PM will let you know what actions your website project will require and will help you complete the Website Planner Workbook. This way we have all the information we need to make your website effective and awesome.

Wireframing

One important aspect of this phase is our professional wireframing and prototyping process. A wireframe is a mockup of the layout of your soon-to-be website. This is very important and must be finished before we begin on the design phase. A wireframe helps us determine the best way to design your site, so it's effective and cost efficient, and includes all the features you want and need. Your project manager will communicate with you continually throughout this process, so you always know where your project is going and what's being done.

Your Part in the Planning Stage

• Initial meeting to discuss the structure of your website
• Complete the Website Planner Workbook
• If you have chosen our SEO copywriting service, you will work with our expert writer to establish the outline of content for your website
• Provide feedback on the wireframe
• Approve the wireframe when you're happy with it

Our Part in the Planning Stage:

• Guide you through the Website Planner Workbook
• Use your goals, ideas, and vision to create a functional wireframe of your website
• Communicate with you through the entire planning process
• Verify that you're happy with the wireframe before we move to the design stage

Stage Two: DESIGN

Here's where it gets fun: the design stage! Creating your website design is a creative process geared toward making your website not only functional, but visually stunning as well. As our client, you will give us your input on colors, style, and more. As your website specialists, we'll research your industry from top to bottom. We'll make certain your website stands out in the competition, grabs the attention of your target audience, and is an accurate and creative representation of your brand.

Stage Three: CODE

After we have the design created just the way you want it, we move on to the coding stage where we take your design and convert it into website code using a variety of languages. This is when we make everything functional including your blog, navigation buttons, content management system, rotating banner, and more.

• Sit back and relax!

After the design and coding are finished, we'll test your site for any bugs, broken links, or other issues. We test your site with the top five browsers used today (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera) to ensure that virtually everyone visiting your site will have an amazing experience.

Your Part in the Test Stage:

It's important to keep fresh content on your website and ensure that your website appropriately reflects the image of your business. Artonic is able to make any changes, updates, or upgrades to your site after it has been launched.
