What makes our website design different?
The First Media team includes creatives and techies from diverse backgrounds who work together to provide website design that looks great and gets results.
As we understand user experience (UX) from the psychological level upwards, we can create digital experiences that not only engage the visitor, but take them on a journey from discovery, to understanding, to action.
Frequently Asked Questions
To create content and visuals that resonate with your ideal website visitors, we work closely with you to understand their motivations, interests, and terminology. We then use text, images, video and any other assets that reflect these aspects, ensuring they are relatable.
We design the look, feel and flow of each web page to align with your organisation’s objectives. There is no fluff - each piece of text or visual element will be designed to address a specific goal. The combination of information and visuals delivers a cohesive visitor experience.
1. Consultation & Strategy
Our process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and target audience. We then develop a strategic plan that outlines the project scope, objectives, and timelines.
2. Research & Planning
We conduct thorough research to gather insights on industry trends, competitor analysis, and user behaviour. This information forms the foundation of a detailed project plan, including wireframes and site architecture.
3. Design & Prototyping
Our designers create visually appealing and user-centric designs based on the project plan. We develop prototype pages to provide a realistic preview of the final website, ensuring alignment with your vision.
4. Development & Integration
The First Media development team transforms the approved designs into a fully functional website using the latest technologies. We integrate necessary features and third-party services to enhance functionality and performance.
5. Testing & Quality Assurance
We conduct rigorous testing to ensure the website is free from bugs and performs seamlessly across all devices and browsers. This phase includes usability testing, performance checks, and security assessments.
6. Launch & Optimisation
After thorough testing, we launch your website and monitor its performance to ensure everything runs smoothly. Post-launch, we can continue to optimise the site based on user feedback and analytics to maximise its effectiveness and impact.
