Planning Your Web Design Project Timeline
If you are looking to employ a web design agency to create a simple CMS website you may be unsure about how long the project should take to complete.
With most basic but effective websites the project timeline will be dependant on the approval of the concepts and the receiving of all relevant collateral by the web design agency from you.
Once the concept has been approved and signed off, a reputable web design agency should be able to complete a standard CMS website in around six to eight weeks, which is based on the following criteria:
Stage 1
• Initial consultation to clarify brief requirements
• Initial design and site layout concepts for approval
• All relevant collateral supplied by client, including text and photographs
Stage 2
• Amends based on designs proposed
• Design approval
Stage 3
• Building the website
• Writing the CMS
• Testing
Stage 4
• Final approval
• Website goes live
There are also a number of other factors to consider when the web design agency is working on your project.
Hosting and maintenance
The build will include business level hosting for all websites on our own dedicated servers, including hosting of a MySQL database as required.
The build
A team of web developers and designers should be available to work closely with you to ensure the website is built to the agreed specification and functionality.
Project governance
Best practice dictates that there should be a weekly catch-up on the project to ensure a consistent and cohesive process and to manage your expectations.
Your point of contact should be your very own project manager who should be onboard with the design process from conception to completion.
If you feel that you want to add more to the finished design, you should be aware that author amends are rarely free.
It also important to check in the project quote whether the figures quoted include VAT or the price of new photography or stock images because it is common that these will be charged as an additional cost.
Before any additional costs are applied, you should be informed prior to purchase and approval. Applying the brand to other collateral or media will be quoted for as applicable if it is not covered in the quote.
Expenses, where applicable, are likely to be charged accordingly but you should always be informed prior to submission and approval.
