At West Hatten Creative, we believe in a collaborative approach to website design and development. Our process is carefully crafted to ensure that your vision is transformed into a stunning, functional website that exceeds your expectations.
Define
During this phase, we work closely with you to determine the project scope and requirements. We establish the timeframe for each deliverable, consider budget considerations, identify mission-critical requirements and ideal inclusions, specify technical specifications, research reference websites for inspiration, and establish primary points of contact.
Plan
We start by creating a comprehensive sitemap that outlines the structure and organization of your website. This bird’s eye view guides our planning process and ensures seamless navigation for your visitors. For projects involving landing pages, we develop wireframes that outline the layout and content elements, serving as a blueprint for effective marketing campaigns.
create content
We collaborate with you to develop compelling content for each page on the sitemap. This may include landing pages, product/service descriptions, testimonials, case studies, blog posts, videos, images, newsletters, white papers, and social media posts. Additionally, we incorporate SEO best practices and integrate client-specific keywords to optimize your website for search engines and enhance visibility.
Design and Develop
We define your brand identity, including color palette, logo, iconography, images, and videos, ensuring a cohesive visual identity throughout the website. We integrate your brand elements into each page identified on the sitemap and integrate content to create a visually appealing and engaging user experience. Furthermore, we ensure that all functionality requirements are met, from contact forms to e-commerce solutions, to provide a seamless user experience. We also implement any required third-party integrations and plugins to enhance the functionality and performance of your website.
Test
We review the site content and design to correct any mistakes or misses and ensure alignment with your objectives. We also rigorously test all links and integrations to ensure proper functionality across different devices and browsers. Additionally, we provide clients with access to review the website and gather feedback for final adjustments.

We connect to your existing domain or assist with the purchase of a new domain, ensuring a seamless transition. We also connect your domain to the chosen server or hosting plan to make your website accessible online.
