WEBSITE DESIGN PROCESS

A clear website design process, from brief to launch

Every project needs a shared understanding of the outcome, inputs, decisions and release boundary. The exact sequence depends on the selected package and written scope, but these stages show how the work is organised.

Six project stages

How a website project moves forward

Each stage should produce the decisions or materials needed for the next. That keeps visual work, content, technical delivery and approval connected to the same brief.

  1. 01

    Discovery and fit

    Clarify the priority audience, the job the website needs to do, the main visitor action and whether a package or custom scope is the right starting point.

  2. 02

    Written scope and delivery plan

    Confirm pages, functionality, content responsibilities, integrations, review stages, dependencies and the launch or handover boundary in writing.

  3. 03

    Content and access preparation

    Organise approved copy, brand assets, imagery, policy content and the system access required for the agreed work before it becomes a production blocker.

  4. 04

    Structure and design

    Translate the approved brief into page hierarchy, user journeys and responsive visual direction, then gather feedback at the review points defined in scope.

  5. 05

    Build and connect

    Develop the approved pages and functionality, add the agreed content and connect compatible forms, analytics or third-party systems included in the project.

  6. 06

    Review, launch and handover

    Complete the planned checks, resolve in-scope defects, obtain the required approval, release through the agreed environment and provide the defined handover or support period.

Shared responsibilities

Know who is responsible for each decision

Clear ownership keeps a project moving and prevents important business, content or technical decisions from being assumed.

LogicFlow Design

  • Translate the approved brief into the agreed website scope
  • Coordinate the defined design, development and review stages
  • Complete the launch checks and handover included in writing

Your project team

  • Supply accurate, approved content, media and required access
  • Provide consolidated feedback through the agreed decision-maker
  • Approve business, legal, regulatory and commercial information

Confirmed together

  • Milestones, review rounds and acceptance criteria
  • Hosting, domains, licences and third-party responsibilities
  • Post-launch support, maintenance and separately scoped work

Package-specific delivery

The process expands with the complexity of the build

The same core decisions apply to every project, but the depth of planning, review and technical verification changes with the website structure and functionality.

One-Page Website

A focused process for one scrolling page, up to six sections, one main action and a concise content handoff.

Multi-Page Website

Adds page-by-page content planning, navigation, internal links and content-management handover across up to 20 custom pages.

Custom Website

Extends discovery around users, data, permissions, integrations and operational workflows, with stages defined by the approved brief.

Agree on what launch-ready means

The project scope should identify the checks, approvals, environment and handover required for release. A launch decision is clearer when the acceptance boundary was defined before the final review.

  • Responsive layouts and supported devices identified for the scope
  • Important navigation, links and visitor actions
  • Forms and included integrations in the intended environment
  • Approved content, headings, metadata and crawlability where applicable
  • Required redirects, policy content and release responsibilities
  • Handover, access and included post-launch support

Start with the information needed for an accurate scope

Share the audience, content, required actions and functionality behind the project. LogicFlow Design can then identify the most suitable package or the discovery needed for a custom brief.
