Discovery

In our first chat, we'll talk about your business, goals, and style, no matter how defined or open they are. We'll then create a clear plan, including a project outline, budget, and timeline, all based on our discussion. We'll adjust this plan as needed until you're happy and ready to start, ensuring we have a solid, creative direction for your project.

Strategy

In this step, we detail the plan, collect everything we need, and schedule key milestones and meetings. We'll discuss your vision, branding, and content, create or gather necessary text, and if needed, plan for SEO.

By the end, we'll have a complete blueprint of your website's structure and all content ready for design.

Design


Now we start the process of creating your wireframes. We construct each page for you to review, revise and approve.

At the end of this stage your site will be fully designed and ready for development.

Development

This is when we turn designs into a working website, adding interactions and any special features you need. You'll get a private link to watch the progress.

After building, we test thoroughly to make sure your site works great on all devices. In the end, you'll have a new, fully functional, and beautifully designed website.

Launch!

Your new website is ready, congratulations!

At Lionize we are always available for any clarification, site maintenance or additional onboarding you might require for your new site.
