Web Design
How do you get visitors to your Website to contact you, after they have compared your site with your competitors? By designing it that way.
Cyrius has successfully designed Websites for a diverse range of businesses. Each project involves a creative process that draws together creative and business considerations that satisfy our client, impress their customers and boost their bottom line.
The process of designing a Website is vastly different from any other design process;
it involves graphic design but also involves information design and functionality. The Website not only needs to look pretty, it needs to work within programming code, browser specifications, usability considerations and limitations. This is not to mention all the traditional graphic design considerations such as branding, positioning, marketing, communications and so on.
Web design is constantly evolving, too. Just look at these two screen shots of the Melbourne Age and Microsoft from 1995 and 2010.
How things have changed!
Websites are fluid entities, where elements on the screen can be changed and updated both manually and dynamically with programming. As each individual site changes on the Internet, so the overall evolution of Web design continues.
To have your Website designed well, the project needs to be managed by a firm that takes all these considerations into account. You can't just get a graphic designer to create a nice-looking work of art. You also can't just grab a template and throw it on the screen. Every business has unique needs and the design needs to communicate and function perfectly for those needs. Generic templates can be used as a starting point, but in the end a custom solution is always going to work better and be worth the time and effort.
Our Web design process:
- Comprehensive assessment of your needs
- Creation of a design brief - if you don't already have one
- Discussion of your expectations, tastes, preferences, styles & reference sites
- Research of the marketplace to see how to best position your business
- Collecting all the required design elements from you, such as logo, stock images, product images, etc.
- Creation of a "wire frame" model of the home page and inner page/s to determine where everything goes and how it will work
- Engagement of our professional design team to create draft designs
- A review process to refine the designs with you
- Approval of the designs by you, before moving to the development stage of the project
- After development and launch, further refinements, such as new banners and headers, assisting the ongoing evolution of your Website and your business as it grows and achieves each new goal you set.
Don't put the image of your company in the hands of anyone who can't offer a complete design process for your Website. The first point of contact with your new customers is absolutely critical for your business. Make your Website stand out and make a lasting impression.
