Steps for a New Website Build (WIP)

These steps assume the client already has a website and that we’re migrating the site to a Garrett Digital build.

Some of these steps can be skipped if the client doesn’t need the service mentioned.

Review of brand assets and development of new ones, if needed.

  1. Does the client have a logo? Is it in vector format so we can resize, change background colors, etc.?
  2. Are there other brand assets, such as a color palette, specific fonts, taglines, etc.?
  3. If the client has a logo and current assets, the web designer/front-end dev can adapt and work with that.
  4. If not, we’d need to go through a branding exercise with a brand/graphic designer. [Here are those steps]

Review of the current website and content

  1. What do they like and dislike about it?
  2. Are other websites they like a lot?
  3. What is their value proposition? Do they do a good job communicating that?
  4. Will they be keeping all of their current content? If not, what will they be removing or replacing?
  5. Are they happy with their website and how the content is organized?
  6. Is there anything that stands out to us that could be organized better?
  7. Are there plans for new content? Is there a content calendar? Is that something they need help strategizing and planning?
