Website Design
LET’S BUILD YOUR BRAND’S ONLINE HOME
Your website is your business’s digital home.
It needs to capture & communicate the essence of your brand & provide your ideal client with everything they need (& more)!
It should be a space you are truly proud of and should be able to grow and evolve with you. That’s why we love creating Squarespace websites for our clients - because as your small business evolves, your website can too.
Gone are the days when you paid a company £££££’s to build a website, that in a few year’s time would be redundant. Today, platforms like Squarespace allow designers like me the ability to build intuitive, beautiful and user-friendly websites that are easy to self-manage, edit and update as technology, and your business, change.
Your website is the grounding point of all your online marketing. It needs to represent the essence of your brand, sell your product or service & be a space your dream client loves to hang out!
Jade - Claran Studio
The Claran Web Design Process
Our website design service is a complete, start-to-finish experience that we will guide and support you through, so there is no need to have any existing technological know-how. Here’s how it works:
01 - Discovery
We’ll start with a discovery exercise so that we can get a thorough understanding of your business & brand. We will cover some of the questions we ask in our Brand ID Suite discovery process because it is important that your website encompasses & reflects your brand.
02 - Gathering
We will then need to gather lots of information and any required assets from you. This will help us to form your information pages, and also will include details of your products and/or services.
03 - Initial Designs
Once we’ve pulled all of this together, we will then start designing your website. During this phase, we will get your feedback before creating the final designs.
04 - Build
Now it’s the big bit - building out your website. This phase will involve a lot of head-down working for us, and we will consult you and regular intervals to get your thoughts and check in on progress.
05 - Review & Refine
Now it’s time for us to share the site with you, get your final feedback and make those last amends.
06 - Launch
It’s showtime! BUT, when we launch your site, we don’t just set it and forget it. Instead, we build in time for us to review your site post-launch and make any tweaks or changes we might need to.
The thing is, once your start using your website with your customers, you are bound to have ideas for improvements, so including this as part of the project allows us to do this together.
