Discovery
We Get to Know Your Business as if it Were Our Own
When partnering with a web design team, it’s crucial to have the peace of mind that they truly understand your aspirations and goals. At Chillybin, we take the time to familiarise ourselves with your business as if it were our own. This deep dive allows us to ask relevant questions about your objectives, the direction you envision for your business, and any challenges you may have encountered. Likewise, it allows you to get to know us better by addressing any queries or concerns you may have.
Our journey together begins with a quick and seamless onboarding process. Following that, we will send you a comprehensive discovery questionnaire. By reviewing your information, we gain valuable insights and formulate a list of tailored questions and suggestions. Subsequently, we embark on a website strategy session—an open forum for exchanging ideas. This collaborative approach ensures that your web design project takes off quickly and efficiently. By investing time in the discovery phase, we establish a solid foundation for your web design project.
Once we have addressed all concerns and reached a mutual understanding, we move on to the next stage, design.
Design
The Look and Feel of Your Website Start to Come Together
Our ultimate objective is to craft a site without which you won’t believe you ever lived. Achieving this goal involves incorporating your valuable input and guidance at every stage. We will create a user experience that effortlessly guides your customers through each necessary step and action.
Our primary focus is to ensure seamless navigation for your customers, enabling them to transition from one page to another effortlessly. Exceptional web design should provide a journey, an experience that leads to a specific destination. This is precisely what we aim for at every step. To accomplish this, we develop a distinctive and intuitive approach to showcasing and organising your content, establishing an instant connection with every user. To complement your evolving brand image, we integrate your brand colours and design a layout that aligns perfectly with your goals.
Considering this highly subjective stage, we encourage you to provide abundant feedback. In the design phase, you’ll have two rounds of revisions to provide feedback, ideas, and comments so we can tweak the design to create a final design you’ll love. Once we have satisfied everyone, we proceed with the website development phase.
Development
We Build Your WordPress Theme From the Ground Up
This is the exciting phase where our skilled development team takes charge and constructs your unique WordPress theme from scratch, harnessing the power of the Beaver Builder framework and Advanced Custom Fields.
We prioritise efficiency, ensuring you never experience unnecessary delays while your competitors surge ahead. Our team works swiftly and effectively, handling professional image formatting, content optimisation, meticulous layout adjustments, and more.
With the Beaver Builder Framework, we can easily build beautiful and responsive layouts, allowing us to fine-tune your website’s design and functionality. Advanced Custom Fields empowers us to create custom fields and tailored content options, providing a seamless user experience and enabling you to manage and update your website’s content easily.
With our extensive experience in WordPress development, we are well-equipped to accommodate any last-minute changes promptly. This flexibility is crucial in delivering a website with an unparalleled user experience, setting you apart from the competition.
Collaboration is at the heart of our WordPress development process, and we eagerly welcome your ideas, suggestions, and fine-tuning requests. By incorporating your input, we aim to deliver a website that captivates your audience and empowers your business to thrive online from day one.
Delivery
Launch Day Arrives Faster Than You Think
With the last click of the website development process complete and your site signed off by you and our development team, everything turns towards launch day. It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for, and it’ll come around faster than you think.
We get as excited as you do to take your new WordPress website live, and it’s a testament to how you’ve embraced our collaborative approach to web design that it comes around so quickly. We couldn’t have done it without you because it’s a team effort, and the teamwork doesn’t stop there.
A shiny new site is all good, but you must know how to drive it. That’s why we’re always on hand to talk you through everything you need to know, starting with your live training session. It’s a chance to work with one of our development experts so you can learn how to use your new WordPress site like a pro. Feel free to ask any questions on your mind, start clicking around, and request any basic edits and adjustments you’ve spotted.
At this point, many WordPress development agencies will wave goodbye and wish you well. We like to do things differently, so we’re only halfway through.
