At Outfields Digital Solutions, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to building websites. We believe the website-building process should be simple and efficient without sacrificing quality or results. Here’s a quick overview of our process and how it can benefit your business.
1. The first step in our process is understanding the client’s business and goals. We take the time to learn about the client’s target audience and what they want to accomplish. We want to know where we fit in. Once we have a good understanding of the client’s business and the goal of the website, we move to the next phase.
2. Next, we create a sitemap that lists all the pages on your website and their hierarchy. This helps search engines index your site correctly and makes navigating easier for users. Essentially this is creating a blueprint of your site and the type of content that will be on each page. We tie this to the target audience so they can easily find what they need.
3. Once the sitemap is approved, we start laying out and designing the website. We pay close attention to detail and make sure that everything is optimized for SEO. All of our sites are built with technical and local SEO in mind. This is where we determine what the website will look like and how it will function. We work with the client to make sure that they are happy with the direction we’re going. Once the layout and design are approved, we move on to development.
4. The next stage of building a site is all about development. This is where we take the approved design and turn it into a functioning website. We make your site using WordPress, and we code the website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Once the website is built, we test it to ensure everything works correctly on several devices and operating systems. If there are any issues, we fix them before launching the site.
5. The final stage is launching the site. We make sure that everything is ready to go before putting the website live. This includes uploading all the content, testing the website one last time, and setting up any required Domain Name System (DNS) changes. Once everything is ready, we launch the website and start monitoring it for any issues. After launching your site, we make sure you know how to use your site. We’ll monitor your site 24/7 for uptime and security. Once a week, we’ll ensure all the plugins used on your site are up-to-date. Periodically, we’ll test your site to ensure we’re proactive and your site is working as intended.
Whether you’re building a new website or trying to find an affordable solution for your problem, we will make sure it’s done right — the first time.
