How To Design a Website Project Plan

Researching and Designing a New Website is a Process.

The LDR website design team will research your industry and competition to develop a fantastic new interactive website with SEO keywords that work.

To make this happen we provide a "homework" worksheet. In our design meetings, we address the website design, layout, content, images and all special elements of the website. We also address article maintenance services, and content editing training complete with a training manual.

Your Target Audience:

The most important consideration when planning your new website is not getting everything YOU want. Ask yourself - what does your ideal customer look for when making a purchase decision? Take a serious look at your buyer persona. In the buyer's journey, are you providing an optimal user experience? Does your web page educate, entertain, and sell to this targeted group? 

Make This Your Website Planning Guide:

• Graphic Art - People are visual. Take time to design or update your logo and graphics.
• Competitive Edge - What is your competitive edge? How is your company different? A great copy tells your story. 
• Target Audience - Who are your customers? What information do they research? Are you addressing their concerns?
• Competitors - List your top competitors and their URLs.
• Your Brand Narrative - What message do you have to tell the world via this web site? We want to influence your web visitors into reading more, contacting you or making a sale.
• Organization - Make the journey an easy one. Plan out the number of pages and their titles. Remember that all titles need to contain at least one Google-friendly keyword. People search for answers on Google. 
• E-Commerce - Selling products and services online can be an effective way to grow your business.
• Newsletters - Keep your customers in the loop with customized newsletters that look appealing, and provide great information. Would you like to add a company-branded newsletter system? 
• Website Hosting - A key indicator in Google ranking is page speed. LDR provides fast and safe hosting services. We can transfer your existing website too!
