My 21-Step Website Design & Development Process

In today's video I will be speaking about my 21 simple steps to the web design process from start to finish.

Find out how following a structured web design process can help you deliver more successful websites faster and more efficiently. Therefore increasing your profits and decreasing your stress.

Web designers often think about the web design process with a focus on technical matters such as wireframes, code, and content management. But great design isn’t about how you integrate the social media buttons or even add content. Great design is actually about having a website design creation process that aligns with an overarching strategy and sets milestones and goals.
