At O’Brien Media, we strive to provide transparent, effective, and comprehensive web design services. Our approach is tailored to ensure your website not only looks great but also performs excellently in a competitive digital landscape. It’s important for our clients to understand that the costs associated with creating and maintaining a robust website extend beyond just development work.
Here, we explain some of the essential components of our web design and development process that are chargeable, which help in maintaining the quality of service without necessitating price increases.
Project Management
Efficient project management is crucial to the success of your web design project. Our project managers coordinate between various team members, plan and monitor project timelines, and ensure that your project meets all its milestones. This role involves regular communication with clients, problem-solving, and quality assurance throughout the project lifecycle.
Research and Strategy Development
Before we write a single line of code, significant time is spent on research and strategy development. Understanding your market, competitors, and target audience helps us craft a website that truly resonates with users and stands out in the market. This phase includes user behaviour analysis, SEO keyword research, and crafting a content strategy—all critical for long-term success.
Design and User Experience (UX)
Creating visually appealing designs that also offer an intuitive user experience requires expertise and time. Our designers work to ensure that every aspect of your website is aligned with best UX practices and the latest design trends. This includes wireframing, prototyping, and user testing, which are essential processes to ensure that the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Content Creation and Management
Quality content is at the heart of every successful website. Our content specialists create engaging, SEO-friendly content that conveys your brand’s message and appeals to your target audience. Managing this content through systematic planning, creation, and scheduling is vital to maintaining the relevance and freshness of your website.
Compliance and Accessibility
Ensuring that your website complies with the latest web standards and accessibility guidelines is not just about avoiding legal pitfalls; it’s about making your website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This involves additional development and regular updates to keep up with changing regulations and standards.
Back-office Operations
The smooth running of back-office operations, including administrative tasks, technical support, and maintenance, ensures that we can provide continuous service without interruption. These tasks are essential for the upkeep of your website, handling system updates, and security checks, and providing ongoing support to address any issues post-launch.
Hosting and Security
Web hosting and security measures are critical to ensure that your website remains safe and accessible. We manage the hosting environment, perform regular security audits, implement necessary updates, and monitor your site to protect against potential threats. These services are essential to maintain the integrity and performance of your website.
At O’Brien Media, we believe in complete transparency about what goes into our pricing structure. Understanding these elements will help you see the value of your investment beyond just the visible parts of your website.
We are committed to providing a service that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, ensuring that every aspect of your website’s creation and maintenance is handled with professionalism and attention to detail.
