Step-by-Step Process Explained
Building a website is more than just choosing a theme and going live. At WiTeds, we take a hands-on, collaborative approach to deliver custom websites that truly represent your business ā whether you’re a sole trader, local service provider, or growing brand.
From our very first meeting to the final launch, every step is designed to make things easy for you while we handle the heavy lifting. Here’s exactly how we build your website from scratch.


Step 1: Discovery Meeting & Requirement Gathering
Our journey begins with a relaxed, friendly meet-up or online consultation where we get to know your business, your goals, and your audience. We donāt just ask, āWhat kind of website do you want?ā, we ask the right questions to understand what your business needs to grow online.
Weāll gather:
- Your business details and services
- Branding preferences (colours, style, logo)
- Functional needs (booking forms, contact forms, galleries, etc.)
- Target audience and competitors
- Preferred platforms (e.g., WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix)
If youāre unsure, weāll help you pick the right one based on your goals and budget.
Step 2: Content, Images & Platform Setup
Once we know what your website should do and look like, we move on to content collection. Weāll ask for:
- Business info, service descriptions, team bios
- Any existing photos or logos youād like to use
- Any login access for domain, hosting, or platforms if you have them
Donāt have great images? No worries ā weāll help you capture the right photos or use high-quality stock images that align with your brand.
At this stage, we also set up the platform ā whether it’s WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, or Wix ā and configure the basic structure.
Step 3: Design & Build
Hereās where the magic happens. We start designing your siteās layout, colours, and visual flow ā balancing aesthetic appeal with user-friendliness. Once the layout is approved, we move on to building out the actual site:
- Homepage, service pages, contact page, and any extras (like blog or portfolio)
- Responsive design to work beautifully on mobile and desktop
- SEO-friendly structure with proper headings, image tags, fast-loading pages
To begin this phase, we request 50% of the payment upfront to lock in the build.
Step 4: Review & Pre-Launch Meeting
When the website is about 95% complete, we schedule a second meeting to walk you through everything. Weāll:
- Review the full site together
- Make final edits or changes based on your feedback
- Ensure everything is working ā from links to forms to mobile display
This is your opportunity to add final touches, request revisions, and feel confident before we go live.
Step 5: Launch & SEO Setup
Once everything is approved, we complete the final 5%, set up performance and SEO tools, and launch your website.
We donāt just hand over a site ā we deliver a polished, SEO-ready platform that includes:
- Initial blog articles to help your site index faster
- Google indexing setup (Search Console, Analytics, Site Kit)
- Optimised titles, meta tags, image alt tags, and schema basics
What You Get in the End
You walk away with a fully functional, responsive, and beautiful website that:
- Follows modern SEO practices
- Represents your brand professionally
- Works across all devices
- Is easy to update and manage
And more importantly ā you get time back to focus on running your business while we manage the online side.
