Our 6-Step Web Design Process — Simple, Fast, and Stress-Free
From discovery to launch (and beyond), here’s exactly how Kiwi Web Design builds websites that look great and get results.
Why a Clear Process Matters
A structured process keeps your project on time, on budget, and focused on the result: a website that wins trust and generates enquiries. We keep every step transparent, with checklists and approvals so there are no surprises.
The 6 Steps
1) Discover & Scope
We learn about your goals, audience, competitors, and content. You’ll get a scope summary and timeline to confirm we’re aligned.
2) Plan & Wireframe
We map pages, information architecture, and key CTAs. Wireframes show how content and actions flow on each page.
3) Design (UI/Brand)
We create a clean, modern visual design aligned to your brand and audience—mobile-first, conversion-focused.
4) Build (WordPress/Shopify)
We develop the site, set up content, optimise for speed/SEO, and connect forms/analytics. You get a staging link to review.
5) QA, UAT & Launch
We run performance, device, and accessibility checks; you perform UAT; we launch with redirects and tracking live.
6) Grow & Support
Post-launch improvements, SEO, and support plans keep your site fast, secure, and converting.
“We don’t just design your website — we set you up for ongoing success.”

Web Design Process — FAQs
How long does the whole process take?
Most small business sites launch in 2–3 weeks once content is ready. Larger sites or eCommerce builds may take 3–5 weeks depending on scope and approvals.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo, brand preferences, sitemap priorities, and any existing content or photos. Don’t worry—if you don’t have these, we’ll guide you and can help create what’s needed.
Can I request revisions during the process?
Yes. We include structured feedback rounds at wireframe, design, and staging stages to keep everything on track.
Do you provide support after launch?
Absolutely. We offer affordable maintenance and SEO plans to keep your site secure, fast, and growing.
