Wireframe Design Stage
In order to create a custom website, a key part of our design process is wireframing. Wireframes are a static visual of what a website will look like — quicker than building and a great tool to ensure that you (the client) and our designers are on the same page before we get into the lengthy process of building your site. There are two types of wireframing: low fidelity wireframes and high fidelity wireframes.
Low Fidelity
A low fidelity wireframe is a very simple monochrome blocking of website elements, and is a great first step for figuring out structure, content and user flow. With low fidelity, you (the client) can focus on the information distribution of the website without thinking about the visual look of the site.
High Fidelity
High fidelity wireframes, on the other hand, are more of a representation of what the end product will look like. These wireframes are fully designed with branding and draft content included, although sometimes filler text and images are used at this stage.
Final Outcome
Most major changes are preferred during the wireframe stage, as it is much easier and quicker to make changes at this point rather than once the website build has begun. Once you are happy with how the wireframes look, we move onto building the website.

The platforms we use
Most of the websites we design and build are in WordPress or Webflow. However, there are many alternative platforms that we use including Drupal, Shopify and Squarespace. If you’ve chosen to build the website yourself, we can also be your second level of support to help if you get stuck.
If your website is built using something else, we might be able to support you under our software development services, but suggest that you contact us to find out more.

If you already have a website, that’s awesome. The question is then becomes are you looking to upgrade, or are you looking for support on your current site? We can help you either way, but the process can vary.
For our website upgrades or builds, we can meet with you to understand what you need, assess your website to see if it can be done, then put together a plan or quote.
Alternatively, if you’re already happy with your website, but are looking for support making changes such as pricing, product management, recovery, or maybe something else we can help you here as well. These services can be provide as needed at an hourly rate, or as part of a quoted service.

She did everything from setting up the website, roll over of old posts to the new site, redirection, new email account and domain name.

It was also a beautiful surprise when she created a small illustration for my launch. I absolutely recommend the Tech Studio team.”
