Why Hire a Web Designer?
Experience.
A professional website designer has the skills and experience to create a visually appealing and user-friendly website. It will meet the needs of the owner from the start. A professional designer will follow a formula. There is no guesswork. This includes considering factors such as layout, typography, color, and functionality to ensure that the website is easy to navigate and meets a variety of needs.
It isn’t impossible to create your own website ‘for free’, but the truth is, creating a great website is a complex and time-consuming process. Moving through the process efficiently requires a wide range of skills and knowledge.
I work with people all over the world but if your company is based in Pahrump, I can take face-to-face meetings. I’m always just a phone call, voice mail, text, or email away. Contact Let’s Talk Graphics today!
Web Design Process
My design process involves a carefully planned-out series of steps. The process can take anywhere from 1 day to 4 weeks. Exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific needs and goals of the project, but generally include the following:
- Planning
- Design
- Development
- Testing and debugging
- Launch and ongoing website maintenance
At each step in the web design process, I work closely with a client to ensure the final product meets their needs and goals.
I’ll gather information and content during the planning stage, share design concepts and prototypes during the design stage, and solicit feedback and input when it is necessary.

Anatomy of a website build
1. Planning
This involves identifying your target audience, defining the goals of the website, and gathering information and content that will be used on the site.
2. Design
Create mockups to determine the layout and overall look and feel of the website. Factors such as typography, color, and imagery to create a cohesive visual design are all considered.
3. Development
It’s finally time to build the website by implementing features such as forms, galleries, and interactive elements. Implementing these types of features helps to enhance the user experience.
4. Testing and debugging
If a website has errors or issues, it may be difficult for users to navigate or use the site, which can potentially drive visitors away.
In this phase, we carefully check the website for technical and grammatical errors and ensure that it functions properly on various devices and browsers.
5. Launch
Launch day is an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and efforts that went into creating the website. It is a chance to recognize the contributions of the team members and stakeholders who worked on the project and to look forward to the future success of the website.
6. Maintenance
Maintaining a website is important to ensure that it continues to function properly, is secure, and remains relevant and useful to its intended audience.
Ongoing maintenance may include updates, backups, and security measures.
Next Steps
When ready to commit to a website development project
To make the design and development process as smooth as possible, please have the following in mind about your website:
Purpose: What is the main goal or purpose of the website? Is it to sell products, provide information, or something else? This will help guide the design and content of the website.
Audience: Who is the website for? Understanding the target audience for the website can help inform the design, language, and content of the site.
Content: What content will be included on the website? It’s important to plan out the content of the website in advance so that it can be organized and structured effectively.
Design: How should the website look? Consider the overall aesthetic and layout of the site, as well as any specific design elements that should be included.
Functionality: What features or functionality should the website have? This could include things like contact forms, e-commerce functionality, or a blog.
Domain name and hosting: Choose a domain name and hosting provider for the website. It’s important to choose a domain name that is easy to remember and relevant to the website’s content.
Website Maintenance: Consider how the website will be maintained and updated over time. Will you be responsible for maintaining the website yourself, or will you hire someone else to do it?
Once your new website is live
Once a website is up and running, there are a few key things to consider:
- Security: It’s important to keep the website and any sensitive information it handles secure. This may include installing security software, using SSL certificates, and regularly updating software and plugins to fix any vulnerabilities.
- Performance: A slow-loading website can be frustrating for users, so it’s important to optimize the website’s performance. This may involve optimizing images, minifying code, and using a content delivery network (CDN). Ideally, Google PageSpeed Insights should return results that look like this and this.
- SEO: Search engine optimization (SEO) can help improve the visibility of a website in search engine results pages. This may include optimizing the website’s content, using relevant keywords, and building backlinks.
- Analytics: Using analytics tools can help website owners track the performance of their website and understand how users are interacting with it. This can help inform future updates and improvements.
- Maintenance: Website maintenance is ongoing and includes tasks such as keeping the website up to date, backing up data, and fixing any issues that arise.
By keeping these things in mind, website owners can ensure that their website is running smoothly and effectively.
