01:04

I'm going to be talking with you guys

01:05

all about my website design process and

01:08

how I really approach a website design

01:10

how I work with my clients and honestly

01:13

how long it takes me but I know that all

01:15

of us learn in such different ways some

01:17

of us learn from watching videos like

01:19

this some of us learn from reading or

01:22

some of us are just very Visual and want

01:24

to have something easily digestible with

01:27

some Creative Touch to it have a free

01:29

guide down below where you guys can

01:31

download a free infographic guide that

01:35

goes over all the steps I'm going to

01:36

talk about in this video but in a very

01:38

easily digestible way so if you guys

01:40

want to download that that'll be linked

01:42

down below definitely check that out

01:44

even if you watch this video and want to

01:46

read that I think that's a great way to

01:48

kind of see my overall process that'll

01:50

be linked right down below definitely

01:52

check that out I am sipping on some

01:54

white wine today so I'm really enjoying

01:56

that I feel like I'm really going to

01:58

transition into the red wines coming up

02:00

soon since it's Autumn and I'm so

02:02

excited but enough said let's hop into

02:06

my step-by-step process okay step one

02:09

this is the initial Discovery call with

02:12

my clients so I wanted to first off

02:15

explain that before hopping into the

02:17

discovery call my clients have most

02:19

likely filled out my contact form on my

02:21

website which I really hope that they

02:23

did and if they do reach out to me on

02:25

Instagram or email or maybe somewhere

02:28

other than my website I always send them

02:30

my contact form that way I can have my

02:33

automated system send them the scheduler

02:35

to book their Discovery call but not

02:37

only that my contact form has a few

02:39

questions in there that are really going

02:41

to be helpful for me when we hop on that

02:44

Discovery call so a few of those

02:46

questions I just want to mention are

02:48

number one the budget I have a range of

02:50

numbers that they can choose from and if

02:53

the minimum number in there isn't even

02:55

where their budget's at that'll save

02:57

both of us so much time and worry I

03:01

guess from bringing that up on the

03:02

conversation so I like to have that

03:04

question in the initial stages so that

03:06

we know kind of what we're getting into

03:08

and then I also just like to ask where

03:10

their business is at right now and like

03:12

if they could explain to me a bit about

03:14

their business I really like to have

03:16

those initial questions answered that

03:18

way I know how to guide the conversation

03:21

and really kind of what to research

03:23

before the call so I highly recommend if

03:25

you don't have that process set up yet

03:27

to make sure that they're filling

03:29

something out even if it's your

03:31

scheduler that has the questions after

03:32

they schedule filling something out to

03:35

help you guide this conversation now for

03:38

the initial Discovery call if this is a

03:41

purely website design client and not

03:44

branding and website the number one

03:46

question I always like to ask them is do

03:48

they have branding yet if they don't I

03:51

typically do not take this client if

03:53

I've worked on their branding and it's

03:55

maybe a year down the line they decide

03:57

they want a new website that's perfect

03:58

or if it's a client that doesn't really

04:01

know what they need I could kind of

04:03

guide them into more of a branding and

04:05

website package but that's the number

04:07

one question I want to ask because I

04:08

cannot bill build something off of no

04:11

branding if they don't have a color

04:12

palette if they don't have a logo if

04:14

they don't even have their typography

04:16

set then I'm really not going to have a

04:18

good starting point so if the client

04:20

doesn't have branding then I will really

04:23

try and sell them on The Branding and

04:24

website package and come up with some

04:27

sort of package deal so that they feel

04:29

like they're not just getting talked

04:31

into sales and everything so I like to

04:34

have that conversation initially though

04:36

because sometimes it's just not a good

04:38

fit if they're not willing to work with

04:40

you on The Branding portion and you want

04:43

to make sure that you love what you're

04:44

building and that you can use it for

04:46

your portfolio so always always ask that

04:49

but my other question I ask about the

04:51

website is if it's e-commerce or if it's

04:54

just an informational website because if

04:57

it's e-commerce that is completely gonna

04:58

change the way my proposal looks

05:00

eCommerce websites are definitely a

05:02

little more expensive it's a lot more

05:04

time consuming and a lot more work so I

05:06

want to make sure I'm asking them right

05:08

off the bat what kind of website they

05:10

are in need of and then I just want to

05:13

kind of form that relationship and

05:15

understand their passions and where

05:18

they're at with their business where

05:19

they want their business to be so after

05:21

the discovery call I like to write down

05:23

all those notes right away and then I

05:25

have about two days I tell them that I

05:28

will be sending out a proposal so I give

05:31

myself two days even though sometimes it

05:33

only takes me one or less because I

05:35

really want to make sure I customize the

05:38

proposal make it look really nice and go

05:41

over everything we discussed and the

05:43

package details as well as the start

05:45

date and the payment plan so I want to

05:48

give them all the details so that

05:49

there's nothing left unanswered that way

05:51

they feel confident selecting the

05:53

proposal and hopefully moving forward so

05:56

I do have a proposal template on dubsado

05:59

that makes it really easy for me to add

06:01

the package type that they want and just

06:04

add the customization and make it fit

06:06

for the client's needs so I like to send

06:08

that as soon as I can because it's fresh

06:11

in both of our minds and it's exciting

06:13

okay step three if they have accepted

06:15

the proposal and they've signed the

06:17

contract and they've submitted their

06:18

deposit make sure they submit the

06:20

deposit because you don't want to start

06:22

on something that hasn't even had a

06:24

deposit down yet but once they've done

06:26

all that it's time to begin so my very

06:28

first initial step is to send them their

06:31

client portal as well as the

06:33

questionnaire that will help me get even

06:35

more insight into their current business

06:38

so I do want to send that client portal

06:40

as this next step because the portal

06:43

will have my task board in there which

06:45

not only helps me but helps them

06:47

understand what I'm working on during

06:49

what weeks and when they're going to

06:51

have certain things in their hands so I

06:53

really like to make sure that I explain

06:55

to them what the portal is about and to

06:58

do that I do have a video walkthrough

06:59

where I tell them this is where you'll

07:02

find your task board this is where

07:04

you'll find your emails and I like to

07:05

break it down for them so that there's

07:07

no questions unanswered It ultimately

07:10

communication is the biggest thing you

07:12

can do for a great Italian experience so

07:14

I want to make sure that they understand

07:16

everything going on all right the next

07:18

step is to begin the design process so

07:21

at this point I'm hoping that they

07:22

filled out the questionnaire and now

07:24

it's our start date so on the start date

07:26

is is when I actually jump into

07:28

designing the home pages I don't design

07:31

the whole website for me I really like

07:33

to approach it with just the home pages

07:35

in the start and I like to give them

07:37

about two different designs to choose

07:39

from sometimes if I'm feeling really

07:42

excited I will give them three designs

07:44

to choose from but most the time that

07:46

third design is going to look similar

07:48

just a little bit of a different layout

07:49

or different colors but the reason I

07:52

like to give them multiple options is

07:54

because if they like a certain direction

07:56

over another then they can tell me that

07:59

and we can go down that specific

08:00

Direction so I like to give them two

08:03

very opposite home page initial designs

08:06

so I can really get a feel for what they

08:08

like and what they're drawn to so that

08:11

is my initial step is to design those

08:13

home pages at this point though we do

08:15

not have content yet we do not have

08:17

images typically I like to have images

08:19

from my clients weeks before we even

08:22

start but most of the time that doesn't

08:25

happen or they have a photo shoot

08:27

scheduled or they don't really know what

08:29

to take for photos or maybe they just

08:31

don't have it yet so if that's the case

08:33

I like to just use placeholder images

08:35

and placeholder copy and I'll get to

08:38

that part a little bit later alright the

08:40

next step is to get feedback on those

08:42

initial designs so I've gotten questions

08:44

here and there about if I like to get on

08:47

calls to accept feedback or if I just do

08:49

feedback over email I've gone so many

08:52

different ways with this and ultimately

08:54

it's kind of up to the client I mean I

08:57

have my specific communication styles

08:59

that I stick within and that's email or

09:02

a Google meets or Zoom meeting but most

09:05

the time my clients just like to

09:06

communicate over email and this is one

09:09

of the reasons I love Adobe XD it

09:12

actually allows me and allows my clients

09:14

to pin comments on specific parts of the

09:17

design so if there's one image they

09:19

don't like they can actually place a pin

09:21

there and let me know or if they don't

09:23

like layout or if they want to add

09:24

something it's so easy to communicate

09:27

with my clients on Adobe XD and I think

09:29

it's just a seamless way to get that

09:31

feedback but when I do send these

09:33

initial designs I give them about four

09:35

to five questions to answer that way I

09:38

can guide them into providing me the

09:40

most efficient and really well thought

09:44

out feedback because I don't want to

09:45

hear I don't like it with no explanation

09:47

I really need to know so I can make the

09:50

next round of revisions worthwhile for

09:52

both of us all right the next step is to

09:54

hop into more designs so at this point

09:57

I'm going to design the interior Pages

09:59

as well as make any edits to the

10:02

homepage that they want to see so this

10:04

is when I just get in full design mode

10:06

and I have so much fun with it I find

10:08

inspiring duration from a bunch of

10:10

different places but a lot of times I

10:12

just I'm really inspired by the homepage

10:14

design and I kind of have a feel for

10:17

where I want to take the design from

10:18

there so the interior pages is all all

10:21

dependent on the questionnaire if they

10:23

filled out the pages that they will be

10:25

needing that'll help me understand if I

10:28

need to build an about page contact page

10:30

service page or if it's a shop page and

10:34

for shop pages I do like to show them

10:36

how that will look as well as a product

10:39

page and how that will look too so I

10:41

don't like to do every single product

10:42

mock-up I just like to give them the

10:45

initial template of like this is how

10:47

it's going to look for your product

10:48

pages and for your shop pages so that's

10:52

how I do it but I do like to jump into

10:54

those interior page designs and the

10:56

edits and get that out to them the one

10:58

thing I have not mentioned during these

11:00

design steps is I always send a video

11:03

walkthrough of why I designed what I

11:05

designed because ultimately sometimes

11:08

people don't know why designers choose

11:11

the things they do and I like to kind of

11:13

tell my clients you know I laid it out

11:15

this way to break the page up or I added

11:18

this font here to really have a call out

11:20

kind of graphic and I like to just

11:23

explain everything so that once again no

11:26

questions go unanswered to get feedback

11:29

and to make sure that the copywriter has

11:32

now begun their copywriting process so

11:35

every designer does this so different I

11:37

have found that for for me I really like

11:40

to design with a blank slate and give my

11:44

copywriters the framework of what to

11:46

write and where to write it so I know

11:49

some clients are some designers like to

11:51

design off of the copy and that's like

11:53

their framework but for me I find that I

11:57

understand more of like what copy needs

12:00

to go where and then I just let them do

12:02

their part of creating beautiful

12:05

copywriting so I do have a copywriter I

12:08

have found her this here and she's been

12:10

amazing and she has a quick turnaround

12:12

so I feel like at this point of the

12:14

process is when it's a perfect time to

12:17

hand her the entire mock-up of the

12:19

website and let her have fun with it

12:21

because at this point too the clients

12:23

have filled out her intake form and they

12:26

are just ready to go and she's ready to

12:28

create that content for me so this stage

12:31

of feedback is so important because once

12:34

I get to the development part of the

12:36

website I don't like to accept a whole

12:38

lot of edits at least entire framework

12:42

edits because that's going to be really

12:43

difficult to do once I have everything

12:46

set up on the website it's not that

12:48

difficult but ultimately that's going to

12:49

take a lot more time than it would to

12:52

just completely edit it on the design

12:54

portion and the mock-up portion so I

12:56

really want to make sure it's clear to

12:58

them that they tell me everything all

13:00

the feedback they have right now that

13:02

way I can jump into the development

13:04

portion with no edits left remaining so

13:07

I really want to make that clear to them

13:08

and yeah it's very important to me

13:11

because once the website's developed I

13:13

have my launch plan and yeah we'll get

13:16

into that okay so the next step is to

13:18

develop the website and typically I

13:21

develop this on my own however I do have

13:23

a developer on my team that I actually

13:25

just will hire on the side if I am super

13:29

busy with other projects he can go help

13:31

me develop the website because

13:32

ultimately I've already designed it and

13:34

it's just making it functional so

13:37

sometimes I'll send it to him but I do

13:39

like to develop it on my own I think

13:40

it's kind of fun to see it all come

13:42

together and I like to develop majority

13:45

of the time on WordPress I'm sure you

13:46

guys know this by now WordPress is my

13:49

go-to platform for many reasons I'll

13:51

leave a video up here that goes over why

13:53

I love it but I like to develop on

13:55

WordPress and make it functional there

13:58

and at this point in the process because

14:00

my development portion takes about two

14:01

weeks sometimes less but I like to tell

14:04

my clients two weeks because I am at

14:06

this point of the process hoping to get

14:08

put the copy from my copywriter so I can

14:11

plug that in and then once I send it to

14:13

my client it's basically their entire

14:15

functional website so this website

14:17

development portion is a little bit

14:19

longer it's a two-week part of the

14:21

process but it's really important and I

14:23

want to make sure I test it make sure

14:25

everything's functional and if it's an

14:28

e-commerce website that's going to take

14:29

probably even longer but I like to have

14:32

a two-week Mark of development just to

14:35

do a website walkthrough with my client

14:37

so at this point I have done everything

14:39

I really need to do I've built designed

14:42

the website I've developed it I've

14:43

tested it I've added the copy and now

14:46

it's just to walk my clients through the

14:48

beautiful website that we created

14:50

together so this is when I will accept a

14:53

few little edits here and there if they

14:55

just want maybe a color change somewhere

14:57

or a button to link somewhere else

14:59

that's totally okay what I really meant

15:02

by giving me all the feedback is making

15:04

sure that there's not huge design

15:06

changes that is going to make the whole

15:09

page look different so this is when I

15:11

just walk them through make sure they

15:12

understand how it works where the

15:14

buttons go and where the contact form is

15:16

going to lead them to and all of the

15:18

questions that they might have will be

15:20

answered on this walk through call I do

15:22

like to hop on a call for this portion

15:24

it makes it so much easier to walk them

15:27

through what it is that I'm looking at
