Website Development and Design Process
Strategic websites for those who dare to think differently about their brand.
I deliver responsive, intuitive, accessible, and creative websites, not to mention compelling visuals as an integral part of your brand. Using WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, or Shopify, I bring the design to life, ensuring the site is tested on multiple platforms and varying browsers and functions how we want it to work.
Discovery
We will discuss a number of initial questions such as: What change do you want to make? What are the challenges? How can you tell if your current plan is working?
Research
An in-depth look into your history, target market, positioning, competitors, comparable brands, trends, differentiators, and reputation.
Strategy
This is essentially about having a plan, and finding visual clues in what the research uncovers. It sets expectations for how individual identity elements can work and grow with the brand.
Creation
Presentations include digital mock-ups that demonstrate how the logo and brand identity can be applied to relevant print and digital contexts.
Implementation
Everything is designed so that implementation launch is as efficient as possible. Ensuring the website is tailored, tested, and ready to go.
Accountability
I encourage a quarterly update to review any aspect of the design implementation, whether for visual guidance or for help with additional branding elements.

Jillfrances has been a great asset to our company. She is organized and completes her projects on time, despite often aggressive schedules. She has contributed extensively to the creative direction of our logo, website and promotional materials, providing several design concepts for each project and reviewing with management to implement feedback and chose the final design.
