As a key part of the marketing mix to encourage shoppers to visit the centres, the websites had to be informative, fresh and appealing. The ability to serve up to the minute information for shoppers is key and using Pixel8’s content management system (CMS) expertise was key to ensuring that this could be accomplished.

Pixel8’s Proven Web Design Process
Over the past ten years of designing websites we’ve learned a thing or two about web design. Our web design experience has helped us develop a web design process to suit any size of company in virtually any sector of business. This helps your company to get exactly what you want from your new website, it also helps us to guarantee that we cover every angle.
It’s a simple method, but our proven web design process starts with an initial meeting then usually follows these steps:
6. Website Testing | 7. Website Go Live | 8. Online Marketing | 9. Search Engine Optimisation | 10. Email Marketing
Web Design Workshop
Pixel8’s web design workshop will help you to specifically define the proposition, so that we can focus on fully understanding what you want from your new website. We will manage all the technical stuff, so you have one less thing to worry about.
Website Proposition Brief
We produce a comprehensive web design process document, detailing every aspect of the website including:
- Customer experience requirements
- Functionality requirements
- Website content
- Project scope
- Future opportunities – email marketing, online PR, blogs
- On-website search engine optimisation (SEO)
- Project timings and cost
Just like architectural plans, the web design process document tells you exactly what you’re getting and tells our web designers and web developers exactly what to design and build.
Website Homepage Vision
Now for the creative part – we design and present initial home page options for you. The aim is not for us to tell you what your new website should look like, but for us to show you the website design possibilities. Then you need to give us your feedback to what you really like based on our home page designs. In this stage of our web design process we’ll show you:
- How your existing or new brand is going to live online
- We suggest graphic icons and a strap line if required
- Navigating options throughout the website
- Opportunities for promoting your products and services online
Initial Web Design Options
Your initial web design options are presented on storyboards. This allows us to illustrate our creative ideas and to encourage feedback and changes before committing to designing the website.
Bespoke Web Design Templates
Once we have agreed and established the overall look and feel of the website home page, we begin to design bespoke web page templates and the navigation. This means that you get to see your new website before it is developed and allows you to make those all important tweaks and changes. This ensures that we get the finished product exactly right before it goes into development.
Web Development
Armed with the detailed scoping document and the approved web page designs, it’s now time for our web developers to get their teeth into the code and make the whole thing real! Your new website will be built to the agreed specifications and we will initially present your website to you in our pre-launch hosting environment, just to ensure that you are happy with everything before we make your website live.
Website Testing and Training
Once our website testing is completed, we hand the website over to you for further testing. We can use screen casting facilities to do this online with you, or we can sit together and walk you through the whole visitor experience. Our content management systems (CMS) and e-commerce website solutions are extremely intuitive, however, we are always happy to spend time walking you through your new website so that you know exactly what to do going forward.
Website Go Live
It’s the big day and your new website goes live today. But before launching your new website, we always run another round of live testing, just to triple check that everything is working as expected.
Online Marketing, SEO and ROI
As return on investment (ROI) is crucial, our online marketing team can deliver visitors to your website from various sources including:
