my process timelineby joem creative
from web design to development to launch

(the following process is applicable across website platforms:
webflow, showit, shopify, squarespace, and wordpress)
platform-specific points are also mentioned

step 1
discovery call

process

  • Navigate to my 'Book a call' page
  • Pick a time and date, fill out the form & submit
  • You will receive an email with the meeting link
  • Add it to your calendar and I'll see you then!

meeting platform

  • Google Meet

what we discuss

  • Scope of the project
  • Third-party integrations needed
  • Price
  • Dev expectations
  • Project timeline & start date
  • Your current workflow
  • How communication would work
  • Payment
  • Any clarifications you have

duration

  • Typically 40 mins to 1 hour
step 2
design (optional)

prerequisites

  • Business branding guidelines & assets
  • Copy for website
  • Website sitemap

process

  • I first design the home page and share it with you
  • We go through the design over a call and I get your feedback. You could record a loom video and send over your feedback, anything works!
  • I design the remaining pages
  • I make any revisions (if any)

tool used

  • Figma

duration

  • 1-3 weeks based on project complexity
step 3
development

prerequisites

IF I WORK ON DEV ONLY:

  1. Access to website backend or agency dashboard
  2. Design file with downloadable assets
  3. All assets required for development (including images, copy, fonts, videos etc.)
  4. List of all integrations required
  5. Access to third-party integrations

IF I WORK ON BOTH DESIGN & DEV:

  1. Access to website backend or agency dashboard
  2. List of all integrations required
  3. Access to third-party integrations

process

  1. I convert the design to a complete website on the respective plaform
  2. I work on necessary integrations and features as communicated
  3. If I have clarifications or development limitations as I work on developing the site
  4. I finish developing the website and test across 4 screen sizes (laptop, mac, tablet and mobile)

tools used (any one)

  • Webflow
  • WordPress
  • Shopify (e-commerce only)
  • Squarespace
  • Showit

website first look

  • Once I develop the entire website, we hop on a call and I show you the complete website, features, etc.
  • SHOPIFY: I show you how custom sections have been set up and how it can be tweaked through Shopify Customizer or dashboard

duration

  • 2-4 weeks based on project complexity
step 4
final revisions

process

  • You give me quick and final revisions
  • Your client communicates any final tweaks to you or me before we go live
  • I work on final revisions

project transfer

  • Applicable only for new websites on a different platform and not for website revamp projects
  • Once ready to go live, I transfer the project to your account or the client's account

duration

  • Typically 3-5 days

important notes

  • Any major design updates need to be finalised during the design phase
  • Only copy updates and minor tweaks are a part of the final revision
step 5
launch

prerequisites

  • Access to domain registrar backend (old and new domains if applicable)

process

  • If it is a new website project, I login to the domain registrar and update the DNS to point to the new website
  • If it is a website revamp project , I publish the changes live to the existing domain

duration

  • It takes 24-48 hours for DNS changes to propagate
  • Typically takes only a couple of hours

important notes

  • 2-3 days of post launch support is provided
  • Anything after this would come under a separate contract
