1. Discovery & Planning
The first step in any successful website redesign is understanding your business goals, audience, and challenges. At Kyle & Irving, we begin with an in-depth consultation to uncover what’s working on your current website and what needs improvement. We explore your target audience, messaging, and key objectives for the new site.
Next, we dive into research. This involves analysing your website’s current performance, studying competitor sites, and reviewing analytics to identify opportunities. This collaborative process ensures we’re aligned on your goals and the strategy we’ll take forward.
Outcome: A clear strategy and set of objectives for your website redesign, laying the foundation for a site that serves your goals.
2. Concept & Mockups
Once we’ve established a clear strategy, we begin turning ideas into interactive mockups. Using tools like Figma or in-browser design, we create a visual representation of your new website’s structure, layout, and features—all while incorporating your business’s style and personality from the start.
This is a collaborative phase where your feedback is essential. We work closely with you to refine the layout, ensuring the user journey and design align with your goals. By the end of this stage, you’ll have a clear vision of how your new site will look and function.
Outcome: An interactive mockup that visually maps out your website’s structure, design, and features, ready for development.
3. Design & Development
With the mockup approved, we move into the design and development phase. Our goal is to bring the mockup to life while ensuring your site remains user-friendly, responsive, and aligned with your business goals. This involves developing the site’s functionality—whether that’s forms, e-commerce features, or integrations with third-party services.
At Kyle & Irving, we ensure your site is built for performance, incorporating SEO best practices from the start. The design and development processes work hand in hand to create a visually appealing, fast-loading website that delivers a seamless user experience across all devices.
Outcome: A fully designed and functional website, ready for thorough testing and final adjustments.
4. Content Creation & SEO
Content is crucial to the success of any website, but we understand that every client has different needs. You can choose to provide your own content or opt for our content creation services as an additional offering. Whether we write it or you do, the key is ensuring that the content aligns with your brand’s voice and objectives.
At Kyle & Irving, we also make sure your content is optimised for search engines. We apply SEO best practices, including keyword optimisation, meta tags, and structured content, to help your site rank higher and attract the right audience.
Outcome: High-quality content that enhances your website’s user experience and boosts its visibility in search results.
5. Testing & Feedback
Before your website goes live, we rigorously test it across multiple devices, browsers, and screen sizes to ensure everything works smoothly. This includes checking for responsiveness, load times, and the functionality of forms, links, and any other interactive elements.
We also invite you to review the site and provide feedback. This is an opportunity to make any final adjustments and ensure everything is in line with your vision before we move forward with the launch.
Outcome: A fully tested and refined website, ready for a smooth launch.
6. Launch & Post-Launch Support
When it’s time to launch, Kyle & Irving ensures the transition is smooth and seamless. We handle the migration of your new website to its live environment, performing final checks to make sure everything is functioning as expected. This includes a thorough post-launch review to catch any issues that may arise once the site is live.
But our support doesn’t stop there. After launch, we offer ongoing support to ensure your website continues to perform at its best. Whether you need troubleshooting, updates, or optimisations, we’re here to help as your digital partner.
Outcome: A successful launch and continued support to ensure long-term success and website performance.
