Our Process for Building High-Performing Websites:

We remove risk by following a carefully developed 5-phase process that delivers websites that aren’t just beautiful — they perform:

Phase 1: Strategy

The Strategic Framework That Guides Everything

We start with a collaborative workshop to go deep into your goals, audience, and growth challenges. Then we map a clear website strategy that supports lead generation, sales, and brand credibility.

Deliverables
  • Strategy workshop and documentation
  • Brand messaging
  • Buyer personas or ICPs
  • Competition analysis
  • Sitemap & user flow strategy
  • Conversion goals defined

You’ll learn why your current site underperforms — and exactly what we’re going to do about it.

Phase 2: UX + Copywriting

The Words & User Experience That Sell

This phase sets us apart. During the Strategy phase we learned all about your customers. Now we create the flow that will take them from “I’m just looking” to “I’m ready to buy.” 

We don’t use placeholder text when designing layouts (I’m looking at you, other web agencies). We build the structure around what actually needs to be said to convert your audience.

Deliverables
  • Wireframes based on real-world UX principles
  • Copywriting that builds trust, desire, and action
  • Offer positioning that resonates with your buyers

We handle all the content so you’re not stuck writing paragraphs at midnight. You should notice this theme: our websites include everything you need.

Get started

Phase 3: Design

Custom Design That Builds Instant Credibility

Design isn’t just decoration—it’s visual trust. We craft a clean, modern design tailored to your brand, not built from a bloated template. 

Don’t have a strong brand identity? Not a problem, we’ll help you with that before we design your website.

Deliverables
  • Polished, mobile-first layouts
  • Strategic use of color, space, and hierarchy
  • Built-in CTAs and psychological flow

Your new site won’t just “look better.” It’ll immediately feel like a business worth trusting.

Phase 4: Development

Development on a High-Performance Platform

We build your site on a modern platform (usually WordPress) that will support you now and into the future. It’ll work great on any device, load fast, and stay secure. Plus, you own it, not some tech platform.

Deliverables
  • Custom-coded (no bloated themes)
  • Lightning-fast page speed
  • SEO best practices baked in
  • Easy to update—you own it

You’ll be able to make edits yourself or have us manage it for you. No more dev bottlenecks.

Get started

Phase 5: Go Live!

Launch, Test & Optimize

We test every page, every form, every button. Your launch is smooth, and your site is built for long-term wins. But you should expect that much…

Separating us further from the pack, we also install heat mapping, session recording, and all the Google website tools every serious website needs.

These tools allow us to review user activity after we go live to either prove that we got it right — or identify what we need to fix.

Deliverables
  • Launch checklist
  • Conversion tracking setup
  • Optional ongoing optimization

And you never have to worry about your website again. Sign up for S’more Care and we’ll handle everything moving forward.
