RESEARCH BASED
WEBSITE DESIGN

We design beautiful and responsive websites
with a foundation in customer research.

THE WEBSITE DESIGN PROCESS

Creativity is mandatory here at Torva Local. We love what we do and it shows through with the work we do.
Our process is the foundation we build upon for every successful website design project.

WEBSITE DESIGN: RESEARCH

Our first step is always learning as much as we can about your brand. We prefer facts to guesswork.

01

WHAT WILL YOUR SITE NEED?

What additional functions and features will your website need? Do you already have content or need content produced for the site? Do you have photos or will you need to source stock photos? Do you have established marketing goals?
02

WHO ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS?

Think you have your customers pegged? Our research dives deeper to identify your customer's content interests and what keeps them engaged. This information is crucial when establishing a strong brand that attracts and retains customers.
03

WHAT ARE YOUR COMPETITORS DOING?

Too many businesses ignore their competition and that can be a very costly mistake. We research their websites and audit their content to find out how they are performing and where customers are engaging with them. This gives us the insights needed to build a competitive plan for your project.
04

TIME TO SET SOME GOALS!

In order to set goals we must start from the beginning. We start by auditing your current website, content, social engagement and other marketing channels. From here we can build a strategy for where you want to go.

WEBSITE DESIGN: CREATIVE PROCESS

Now that we've collected all the necessary research on your business and your competitors, it's time to start bringing your project to life.

WEBSITE MOCKUPS

We'll cover everything from font choices and color schemes to the overall layout and flow for your new website.

WEBSITE SITEMAP

The sitemap is a basic outline for your website's navigation. We map out all the pages so we know exactly how to prepare.

CREATING CONTENT

With your pages mapped out and our customer research we can start developing content and sourcing photos.

STYLE GUIDE

The style guide acts as a brand guideline for you website outlining items like fonts, headlines, paragraph text, and colors.

WEBSITE DESIGN: DEVELOPMENT

We start by pulling together your style guide and site mockups along with your photos and content. This is when the bulk of the work takes place dealing with page layouts, graphics, photo editing, icons, additional functionality and ensuring it works across devices.

ECOMMERCE STORE

We add your products, setup your payment gateways and shipping options. Everything you need to get started selling your products online.

EVENT CALENDAR

Show off all your exciting events in an easy to use event calendar. Sell tickets, accept registrations or you can even allow users submit their own events.

MOBILE RESPONSIVE

A mobile responsive site can give you an advantage in the search rankings as well increase your customer experience by having a website that adapts to any device.

WEBSITE DESIGN: LAUNCH

We're almost there! It's time to start preparing your site for the transition to a live environment and making sure nothing was overlooked.

CROSS BROWSER TESTING

Nowadays the web can be accessed through desktop computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets and many other devices all with their own settings and resolutions. That's why we test your site against the most common devices and resolutions to make sure your site is accessible to everyone from any device.

REDIRECTS & ANALYTICS

Anytime we redesign a current website we want to redirect old URLs to their new page to help preserve your SEO authority. We add Google Analytics and submit your sitemap to major search engines to make sure they index your entire site.

WEBSITE TRAINING

An important part of having a website is keeping it updated with new content and correcting out of date information. In our training session we cover the major aspects of your website as well as how to update the content yourself. We offer monthly service programs to those who prefer to have us keep their site updated.

WEBSITE HOSTING: SECURITY & MAINTENANCE

Now that your website is live you'll want to protect your investment. You'll be faced with a whole new set of challenges like keeping it secure, maintaining updates and making sure it loads quickly. Our monthly service contracts cover all these aspects so you can get back to what you do best, running your business.

24/7 UPTIME MONITORING

Your website is constantly monitored for any downtime. If a problem arises we are notified and begin correcting the issue immediately.

CONTENT CHANGES

Adding new content to your site is easy and covered. Our support team will make sure your updates get added correctly and quickly.

ONGOING SECURITY UPDATES

Keeping your website's plugins and framework updated help prevent hackers accessing your site and can even improve your site's overall performance.

MANAGED WORDPRESS HOSTING

We only host websites built with WordPress so our hosting environment is tailored specifically to this framework for speed, usability and security.
