Step 1
Define The Project
This first step in the web design process is a process of discovery. During this process we gather as much information as possible from the client.
General information includes purchasing and/or transferring intended URLs, establishing primary contacts who will provide the web designer with content (copy, images, video), and setting approximate launch dates. An analysis of the current site is made and reasons for redesign are established.
An analysis of competitors' websites is conducted in order to suggest features. User profiles are created. Technical needs for the site are established and the overall goals of the site design are communicated.
