Website Design & Development
DRAW CONSUMERS & GAIN ATTENTION
Your website should do more than exist online. It should communicate who you are, make it easy for visitors to find what they need, and give potential customers a reason to take the next step.
Reach your digital potential through the use of web.
WEBSITE DESIGN FOR BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO GROW
A Website Should Work as Hard as You Do
Your website is often one of the first places potential customers go to learn about your business. It can shape their first impression, answer important questions, establish credibility, and ultimately influence whether they contact you or move on to a competitor.
At Bizzybee Marketing, we design and develop custom WordPress websites that combine thoughtful design, clear content, intuitive navigation, and responsive functionality. We take the time to understand your business, your audience, and what you want your website to accomplish before we begin building.
Your website should look like your business, not a generic template. From the visual style and page structure to the content and functionality, we create a digital presence that reflects your brand while making it easy for visitors to engage with your business.
Whether you are launching a new business, developing your brand, replacing an outdated website, or looking for a better way to connect with customers online, we can help you build a website designed around your goals.
Websites built around your Business
From Simple Business Websites to More Advanced Projects
Every business has different website needs. Some companies need a straightforward website that clearly explains their services and makes it easy for customers to get in touch. Others need a larger site with multiple service areas, portfolios, forms, integrations, or other functionality.
Bizzybee Marketing creates websites around those individual requirements rather than forcing every business into the same structure.
Business Websites
Professional, informative websites designed to establish your online presence and help customers understand what you offer.
Service-Based Websites
Strategically organized websites that make it easy for visitors to explore your services and take the next step.
Website Redesigns
Modernizing an existing website with improved design, structure, usability, content, and functionality.
WordPress Websites
Flexible WordPress websites that give businesses a manageable platform they can continue to use and grow.
Portfolio & creative Websites
Visually focused websites designed to showcase photography, creative work, projects, products, or other visual content.
Custom Website Features
Forms, galleries, calls to action, integrations, interactive elements, and other functionality based on the needs of your project.
Content Development
Your Website Needs More Than Good Design
A beautiful website still needs useful information. Content helps visitors understand your business, find the services they need, and decide whether your company is the right fit for them.
When we build or redesign a website, we can help develop the content needed to bring the site together. You don't need to arrive with perfectly written pages or know exactly what every section of your website should say.
We start by learning about your business.
Your history, services, customers, goals, differentiators, and industry knowledge all help us develop content that sounds like your business while communicating the information your audience needs.
Website content may include:
- Service and product descriptions
- About Us content
- Homepage messaging
- Calls to action
- Frequently asked questions
- Page headings and supporting copy
- Portfolio and project descriptions
- Supporting website content
When appropriate, content can also be developed with search visibility in mind. SEO is available as a separate service, allowing businesses to choose the level of optimization that fits their needs.
Website Redesign & Development
Is Your Website Showing Its Age?
Websites change quickly. Design trends evolve, technology changes, user expectations shift, and businesses themselves grow and change. A website that worked well several years ago may no longer accurately represent your business, or provide visitors with the experience they expect.
A website redesign can address more than appearance. Depending on the needs of your existing site, we can evaluate:
- Visual design and branding
- Navigation and page structure
- Mobile responsiveness
- Content organization
- User experience
- Calls to action
- Website functionality
- Page performance
- Accessibility considerations
- Overall website usability
Our goal isn't simply to make an older website look newer. We want to create a website that better represents where your business is today and gives you a foundation that can continue to grow with you.
HOW IT WORKS
What's the
Process?
Once we have figured out whether or not you are due for a new website, we then move on to figuring out what your website will need. What style are we looking for? Will there be multiple pages? Will it be a one-page site? Who are you trying to reach? Will you be selling products on your website to just name a few.
Once we are ready to get started on your website, we will take any content we have and begin getting the pages together. You will receive updates throughout the process of completion, allow you to chime in with any changes you’d like, any additions you’d like, etc. We will then begin implementing those requests to your website before reviewing again.
Upon completion of the site, we make sure your website is ready for launch. If you have opted in for our Search Engine Optimization services, we will run through and add those in. Content is double checked to make sure everything is perfect for your launch. We also perform any necessary troubleshooting.
Once your site goes live, the finishing work begins. We create a mockup of your site to promote it on your social media. We also create a virtual user manual to help you navigate through the back-end of your new website with ease, allowing you to make any changes, at your convenience. Unless of course, you’d like us to make your future changes, which we happily will!
Our Website Design Process
From First Conversation to Launch
A new website shouldn't feel like a mystery. We keep you involved throughout the process so you understand what we're working on, have opportunities to provide feedback, and know what happens next.
1
Discovery & Planning
We start by learning about your business, your audience, your goals, and what you need your website to accomplish. We discuss the pages, functionality, content, and overall direction of the project.
2
Content & Structure
We organize the information your website needs and determine how visitors will move through the site. If content development is part of your project, we begin developing and refining the copy at this stage.
3
Design & Development
We bring the approved direction to life in WordPress, creating the layouts, pages, functionality, and visual elements that make up your website.
4
Review & Refinement
You receive opportunities to review the developing website and provide feedback. We make the requested adjustments and refine the site as the project progresses.
5
Testing & Launch
Before launch, we review the website, check its functionality, verify content, test responsive layouts, and address necessary issues. If SEO services are included in your project, applicable optimization is incorporated as well.
6
Discovery & Planning
Launching your website isn't necessarily the end of the process. At request, we provide a virtual user manual to help you navigate the WordPress backend and make basic updates yourself. And if you'd rather have Bizzybee handle future updates, we're happy to help with that too.
