Our Web Design Process: What to Expect When You Work with Us

If you’re thinking about giving your business an online home that’s truly yours, you’re in the right place. At Modern Jane Creative, we know that a new website is a big deal, and we’re here to make the entire process feel exciting and smooth from start to finish. So, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what working with us looks like, and how we take your vision from idea to launch.

1. Getting to Know You & Your Brand (The Discovery Phase)

Every great project starts with a conversation. We begin by getting to know you, your brand, and what makes your business unique. This is where we chat about your goals, style preferences, target audience, and what you hope to achieve with your new website. We want to hear it all—your likes, dislikes, dream features, and even those “what if…” ideas you might not think are possible.

What to expect:

• A deep-dive questionnaire to understand your business inside and out.
• A kickoff call where we discuss your brand personality, competitors, and the purpose of the new site.
• We’ll outline our timeline, milestones, and communication flow, so you’ll always know what’s coming next.

2. Building the Blueprint (Site Strategy & Planning)

Once we have a strong sense of your brand and goals, we dive into strategy and planning. This phase is where we create a blueprint for your site, so we know how everything will be organized. We map out the pages, figure out the structure, and identify the best ways to guide visitors through your site in a way that feels natural and on-brand.

What to expect:

• A site map that shows the structure of your website and the key pages we’ll be building.
• A wireframe that lays out the general layout and flow of each page.
• Feedback time! We’ll review everything together to make sure we’re aligned on how the site will take shape.

3. Design Magic (The Visual Design Phase)

Now, the fun really begins. In this phase, we start bringing your website to life with visuals that capture your brand’s personality. We focus on colors, fonts, and imagery that match your vibe and make your brand shine. This is where you’ll start to see your ideas transform into something tangible, and we’ll work closely with you to refine every detail until it’s just right.

What to expect:

• Initial design mockups, including a sample homepage and key pages for you to review.
• Thoughtful design choices based on your feedback and the style that best suits your brand.
• Opportunities to provide feedback so we can tweak and perfect the design until it feels like “you.”

4. Bringing It All Together (Development)

With the design finalized, it’s time to turn those beautiful mockups into a fully functioning website. Our development team takes the design files and builds a responsive, user-friendly site that works seamlessly on desktops, tablets, and phones. We’ll add interactive features, ensure it loads quickly, and make sure everything is optimized for SEO so you can be found more easily by potential customers.

What to expect:

• Regular updates as we build your site, with testing to make sure everything works smoothly.
• A “sneak peek” once it’s nearly done so you can test out the site yourself.
• Time to review and provide any last tweaks or adjustments before launch.

5. Launch Day! (And Training Too)

Once you give us the green light, it’s time to launch your new site! We’ll handle the technical details of getting it live and make sure it looks perfect for the big debut. But our support doesn’t stop there. We’ll also walk you through how to manage your new site, from updating content to making small tweaks, so you feel confident in keeping things fresh.

What to expect:

• A seamless launch process—we take care of the technical details, so all you have to do is celebrate!
• Training on how to use your website, make simple updates, and navigate your new platform.
• Continued support to answer any questions or help you adjust as you start using your site.

6. Ongoing Support & Growing Together

Our journey doesn’t end when your website goes live. We’re here to support you as your business grows and evolves. Whether you need help with a small update, additional design work, or advice on how to make the most of your new site, we’re just an email away.

What to expect:

• Continued support for any post-launch questions or adjustments.
• Tips on keeping your site optimized and fresh as your business grows.
• A trusted design partner ready to help with any future needs.
