Like any design project, web design also has it’s process, but unlike print design it entails a few extra steps which are necessary as websites are dynamic and interactive. A good website must consider the user journey, load time and speed, it’s users and your goals. It is therefore imperitave that website goals are concise and clear and well thought of before the user journey is mapped. Design of the site takes place thereafter and once that is approved, site building can take place. A website that is built to first phase can be published to a staging site, where further deployment and bug fixing take place before the site goes live.
