Our website design process starts with your goals, audience, content, and constraints, then moves through structure, design, build, testing, and a launch you approve.

The exact deliverables and review points depend on your project. A focused redesign and a new site with custom features will not have identical steps or timing. Website care after launch is agreed separately.

## How do decisions move from one stage to the next?

Discovery gives the design a clear job. We identify the main visitor tasks, the information each page needs, and the actions your team wants people to take. Design then organizes that information into a path you can review before development turns it into a working site. If an assumption changes, we address its effect on content, layout, and scope instead of carrying it silently into the build.

The working site needs more than a visual check. We test navigation, important forms, small-screen layouts, content that runs long, and the behavior of any agreed integrations. A page can look complete while a visitor’s next step still fails. Those checks help distinguish a design approved for build from a site approved for public launch.

## What will you need to provide?

Your business knowledge, existing content and brand materials, relevant system access, and someone who can approve decisions. We identify the specific inputs before work depends on them.

If the project uses client examples, testimonials, or licensed media, your team also needs to confirm what can be published. That keeps the finished page aligned with the work you can actually show and the claims you can support.

## What do you review at each stage?

In discovery, you review the goals and the intended audience so we are solving the right problem. In planning, you review the page map, content responsibilities, and visitor paths. In design, you review how priority pages communicate and how the interface behaves across important screen sizes. In development, you review the working site, not just a static image. At launch, you approve the final release criteria and know who will operate the site afterward.

The project scope should name the deliverables and review rounds at each stage. That prevents a visual direction from being treated as approval of unfinished content or an untested integration. It also makes feedback more useful: comments on the page goal belong early, while comments on a working form belong in functional review.

## How do content and design work together?

We need real information about your services, audience, and proof to design a page that explains the offer. Placeholder text can help establish a layout, but it does not show whether long headings, specific pricing, detailed service explanations, or legal qualifications will fit. The content plan should identify what your team supplies, what Scayver Graphix writes if copywriting is in scope, and who verifies factual claims.

If the project includes a redesign, we also decide what to keep from the old site and how important URLs will be handled. If it includes a new feature, we define the user flow and test criteria before treating the design as complete. These decisions make the process connected rather than a sequence of disconnected handoffs.
