10:34 – Phases of Website Development and Design (Workflow + Process)
Discovery phase – the very first thing that they do off the bat in a project
Preliminary phase – put it on paper, using a house analogy, this is like a blueprint
Break it out into phases or milestone – Is this design you’re looking for? They don’t even go to build the website until they’ve actually seen it in design.
- They do pre-break it up into sections or phases throughout the project.
- You might know what they need, ultimately the client is the client and so you have to make sure to take both of what you think they need and what they want into consideration
- You have to be both hyper-focused on the client themselves, but also focused on how you know what things are required to help them in the long-term and to encompass those
- It takes two seconds to make those changes on the designs
14:10 – Do You Have to Have Your Website Up Before Setting Up a Business Facebook?
- Kent had a client that knows their business really well, but they don’t necessarily know any of the other parts of it like the website or marketing things like that
- Find out first what they’re looking for, what’s really important to them as a person, what they envision, what they dream to have happen as an end goal– because that’s extremely important.
- Kent wants to make sure that they are fulfilling those dreams that they hav, but at the same time he needs to make sure that they’re willing to trust what’s the most effective.
- It’s not just the website, you need all the different pieces in place and not every business is the same, some people need Facebook, some people don’t.
- It just depends on what type of business you specifically need or what channels they need to be marketing.
- They need to be focused on what they do extremely well in their business
So, every company is different that way.
