You are reading this article to understand how we approach and handle web design projects after the client has agreed to proceed with a new web site design with us.
A typical web design project, with some medium level of complexity, completed correctly, can take between 80-120 hours.
We have devised an organised and efficient procedure that consists of 10 main steps (in total there are appx 35+ steps) to ensure that web projects are completed within a reasonable amount of time and that the client understands their responsibility in relation to the design process.
Steps | Name | Who | Time Budget | Details |
Step 1 | Request logo from the client | Client | 1 day | We request a copy of the current logo in vector or transparent png format. If the client cannot provide a high res version, we will take the low res version and redraw it. If we have to redraw, please add 2 days. This can be sent to hello@jucra.com |
Step 2 | Request Site map from the client | Client | 2 days | We request a list of the names of the pages they wish to have on their new site. |
