What’s Included in a Website Design & Development Project?

Building a standout website takes expertise, experience, and a time-tested process. And, as a full-service digital marketing agency, we bake in the functionality and best practices that enable your site to drive the business results you need.

Plus we’re wicked fun to work with. Here’s what to expect:

Getting to Know You

We start every web project with a full discovery process to uncover insights about your brand, your goals and challenges, your audience, and your competition. Once we have what we need to define your site’s strategy, it’s off to the races. 

Time-tested, Future-focused Process

We break our process into distinct phases that keep everyone on track, on budget, and on the same page — and we make sure learning and continuous improvement is part of the plan, so innovation is no accident.

Frequent Touchpoints

Following an initial all-hands-on-deck kickoff call, your dedicated account manager and strategist will meet with you weekly to share updates and address any questions, concerns, or new ideas. Meanwhile, a talented team of designers, developers, and copywriters is hard at work bringing your vision to life.

High Accessibility Standards

Ease-of-use isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a need-to-have. We design for the smallest screen and scale up, while adhering to the highest standards of data privacy and accessibility.

Scalable, Sustainable Foundation

All of our websites are designed to be flexible, scalable, and able to support customized digital marketing strategies, so your web presence can keep pace with your success.

Return on Investment

Did we mention that your website needs to support your business’ growth? While a new site isn’t a magic bullet, when you work with Vital you get some of the brightest digital marketing minds in the business obsessing over the performance you need to drive long-term ROI.

Cutting-Edge, Not Trendy

We’ve been in the web design business long enough to know that design trends come and go, but innovations in usability and performance are the key to building sites that stand the test of time.

Who We Work With

When you’ve been in the website business for 20+ years, you get comfortable with nearly every industry. Over time, we’ve invested heavily in a few areas of specialization where we lead the conversation on website design and development.

Education

We take a holistic approach to digital marketing for higher education, building websites for online learning hubs, and harnessing content marketing best practices for K–12 services.

B2B Businesses

B2B is our bread and butter. We’ve worked with dozens of clients in manufacturing, consulting, financial services, and much more.

eCommerce

By leveraging powerful eCommerce tools like WooCommerce and Magento, we help clients across industries attract more traffic, convert more full-funnel leads, and drive more sales.

Our Approach

Depending on your goals and functionality requirements, your timeline, and your budget, we will recommend one of two approaches to designing and developing your website.

Website Design & Development Process

At Vital, we plan the work and work the plan. Our process ensures that every detail on your site serves one ultimate goal: building a foundation for long-term success. Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: Discovery

We gather all the information we need to get started: details about your brand, your audience, your competition, your current website performance, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where you’d like to be. This helps us generate a project proposal.

Step 2: Content Planning & Wireframing

We work with you to define your website’s architecture, navigation, and other critical aspects of user experience (UX) design. Together, we aggregate, curate, and update all existing site content as necessary and identify areas where new content needs to be developed, either by our team of copywriters or your internal team.

Step 3: Delivery

Our design team creates a custom design system that establishes the elements of your website’s unique look and feel, while your strategist pinpoints unique integrations and functionalities that will give your website an edge.

Step 4: Content Entry / Page Building

This is where the rubber meets the road. Our highly experienced development team begins to transform all design elements and content assets into a beautiful, functional, easy-to-use website using a custom block editor.

Step 5: Quality Assurance & Client Training

We meticulously test your site’s functionality and compatibility across browsers and devices, aligning with WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards. We provide training for your team on navigating the backend of your site to make updates, post content, etc.

Step 6: Pre-Launch & Launch

Once all the boxes are checked, there’s nothing to it but to do it. Let’s launch this thing!

Step 7: Post-Launch Development

Every web build includes 30 days of post-launch development support to fix any bugs. We also offer a suite of ongoing support programs to handle the post-launch maintenance and support, plus digital marketing and project-based retainers to maximize the long-term value of your site.
