Custom Web Design Services - Experience Matters

Web Design is our specialty! Every site built by Square 1 Design is custom created based on our discussions with the client to make sure the product is created exactly how the client would like it to be. Because Square 1 Design features custom sites, there are no limitations on what we can accomplish for our clients allowing us to come up with a variety of unique and creative designs.

Step #1 - Design The Prototype

Most companies skip this step and jump right into a template to plug in your content. We start from the ground up understanding what you are looking for in your design and gathering details about the different elements. Once we have a good understanding of your goals and the style you are looking for, we sketch out a picture of what your site will look like before we build a single page into html. This way, in the first two weeks of the process you will know exactly what you are getting with your new web site.

Step #2 - Build The Site / Code Concepts

Once the prototype has been approved, we are ready to move to the next phase of the site build. During this process we take the custom design, slice up the graphics and then start to build the site from scratch. We start with the home page and move to the sub pages as we build out the layout designs for all the pages. In most cases, your entire site may actually look complete at this time, but any special functionality or triggered responses will still need to be created before the site is ready to go live.

Step #3 - Programming

It's time for the behind the scenes work where we take all the new HTML files and apply programming to them to make all the functionality work. During this stage we customize things like the contact forms, home page picture changer, drop down navigation, control panel management, mobile integration and much more. Depending on the complexity of the project, this stage can range in time but for most basic sites we typically have your site ready to go live in less then 2 weeks from this point.

Step #4 - Review / Push Live

Site design, check! Pages ready to go, check! All functionality programmed, check! We are now ready to go live. Before doing so, the Square 1 Design development team will go through a series of testing to quality check the site and make sure all the functionality is working properly. A date will be set with the client and then the launch of the site will happen over night so that your site is operational and tested by the next morning.

On Going Service - Management, Hosting & Security

Once your new site is live, Square 1 Design offers maintenance packages as well as hosting and web site security. In almost all situations, we highly suggest paying hourly for maintenance as in most cases many clients do not update their site frequently enough to be part of a maintenance agreement and can just as easily pay hourly for any work completed. We do highly suggest using our web hosting and security which is top of the line services provided by the Google Cloud and SiteLock, both industry leaders in cloud hosting and web site security.
