From Concept to Launch: The Elite Designs Step-by-Step Web Development Process
Ever wondered how a professional website is built? We pull back the curtain on our step-by-step web development process, from initial concept to final launch.
A great website doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of a structured, deliberate process that balances creativity, strategy, and technical execution. At Elite Designs Kenya, we've refined our web development process to ensure we deliver high-quality results on time and on budget. Here’s a look at how we take your idea from concept to launch.
Our 6-Step Web Development Process
Step 1: Discovery and Strategy
This is the most important phase. We start with a deep dive into your business. We want to understand:
- Your business goals and objectives for the website.
- Your target audience and their needs.
- Your brand identity and competitors.
Step 2: Sitemap and Wireframing
Once we have a strategy, we map out the structure of the site with a sitemap. Then, we create wireframes—basic blueprints of each page. This allows us to focus on the layout, user flow, and placement of elements without getting distracted by colors and fonts.
Step 3: Design (UI/UX)
This is where the site starts to come to life visually. Our designers create high-fidelity mockups based on the wireframes, incorporating your brand's color palette, typography, and imagery. We focus on creating an intuitive and beautiful user experience (UX) and user interface (UI).
Step 4: Development
With the design approved, our developers get to work. We write clean, efficient code using modern technologies like Next.js to build a website that is fast, secure, and fully responsive. We provide you with a staging link where you can track our progress in real-time.
Step 5: Content and SEO Integration
While the site is being built, we work with you to gather and input the website's content (text, images). We also implement the foundational on-page SEO elements, such as title tags and meta descriptions, to prepare the site for Google.
Step 6: Testing, Launch, and Training
Before going live, we conduct rigorous testing to find and fix any bugs. We test for browser compatibility, responsiveness, and performance. Once everything is perfect, we launch the website. We also provide training on how to manage your new site if it includes a CMS.
A Process Built on Collaboration
Our process is transparent and collaborative. We keep you involved at every stage to ensure the final product is a perfect reflection of your vision.
