Have a professional website built? How is this going at Odisha?

Have a professional website built… We are certainly not the first to write about this and probably not the last. What we do is paint a fair picture of how this works and what the hours and costs are involved. Our designers and web developers make everything 100% custom. With us, as an ambitious company, you get a website that matches your brand identity from A to Z. No templates, a unique design completely according to your wishes.

Kick-Off Workshop

Having a website built for us always starts with a kick-off workshop at your office. Together with you and your colleagues, we look at your current brand identity, the company objectives, the current website and the wishes for the new website. Together we think about what the landing pages will look like, which CTAs should be added, which functionalities the website should have. In short, what the website should look like in general terms. The aim is to have a rough idea of how the website will function by the end of the workshop.

On average, we spend 8 hours preparing and implementing this kick-off workshop.

Wireframes

After the kick-off workshop, we will enter a second phase. Our UX designers get to work based on the information obtained during the workshop. We now create the so-called wireframes. This is the digital line sketch where the structure of a page becomes clear. All elements are incorporated herein without the use of pictures or colors. Based on the wireframes, a WordPress web design can then be made.

Making wireframes including one or two feedback rounds usually takes about 16 hours of work.

Web design

The third phase of having a website built starts as soon as a final agreement has been reached on the wireframes. The graphic designer makes sure that the design really comes to life. Colors, shapes and pictures are added. Again, there are feedback rounds where minor adjustments can be made. Major changes that affect the previously approved wireframes are no longer made. The result is a definitive sketch of what the website will look like after development converts the image into code.

Making a professional web design with the right images and the right color scheme takes on average about 20 hours. This is highly dependent on the number of types of pages to be created.

web development

Let the magic begin! Our web developers transform the design into code. When you have us build a professional website, you often hear less from us during this period. After all, little or no consultation is required since the design has already been approved. Development now ensures that both the backend (the CMS) and the frontend (CSS, images and code) are put together. The result is a completely working website in a staging environment. Once this is done, you will again be given the opportunity to provide feedback.

Converting a web design to code is highly dependent on the complexity of a design. A simple design with few special effects takes about 36 hours. Keep in mind that building a completely new website is often easier than transferring an old database to a new one. For example, importing products can take a significant number of extra hours.

Delivery

The final phase has arrived. The final feedback rounds have been processed and the website functions properly in the staging environment. It's time to put the website on the world wide web. Our development team will put the website live and, where necessary, our online marketing specialists will do the final check to make sure everything is in order. Google Tag Manager will be installed and Google Analytics activated. The moment you have been waiting for about 10 to 12 weeks has arrived: your website is online! Time for champagne and a cake!

Maintenance & Bug fixes

After going live there is always a period in which any imperfections can be reported. These are made by us at no additional cost. Hosting and maintenance are also carried out by us and depend on your wishes.
