CLIENT REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

Our organization had no background in web design or development whatsoever, and Brant did an exceptional job of navigating us through the process from start to finish. He was able to incorporate several design elements on our site that have helped us share our identity & brand all while relaying our mission with an intuitive integration of our existing social media platforms. He was responsive and quick to act when updates and modifications were requested.

I reached out to Mr. Buckley when I realized a website would really help my small business. I had never undertaken such a project and was not comfortable with the “World Wide Web.” Brant walked me through the steps and made it seem simple even though I knew it probably wasn’t. He made it cost effective and told me where to get a domain for a reasonable price. I recommend utilizing Brant’s skills in website development and I will use him again if the need arises!

It was a pleasure working with Brant. He was upfront, honest, very easy to work with, diligent, flexible, and completed work when he said it would be done. I couldn’t be happier with his work ethic and the way the website turned out!

STEPS & PROCESS

1) Domain Name Purchase

If you don’t already have a domain name purchased for your website, I recommend purchasing one.

2) Hosting

Webflow is phenomenal and has its own high-speed hosting. Hosting is the online server where your website resides. We will discuss Webflow hosting plans, and which plan best suits your project’s needs.

3) Plan

This is where we communicate, gather information, and data. The framework & sitemap for your website takes shape along with all functionality, call to actions, and number of pages. Design, color, and feel are discussed in detail.

4) Design

At this point I have all of your content: text, logos, photos, and videos if need be. The overall framework and layout is agreed upon and it is time to start designing. I use Figma for web design.

5) Development

You have agreed on the Figma design and it is now time to start developing your website within Webflow.

6) Testing

I test every website on multiple devices and different internet browsers. I will send you a version of your website that is hosted on a Webflow server and you will have access to view it from your devices. This link provided is not your main live website url.

7) Deploy

After you are satisfied with the test site and testing is complete, your real domain name website is launched and published online.

8) Future

After your site is launched, I will show you basic Webflow techniques and send you a demo video on how Webflow works. I am here to help update your website and create future redesigns.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Are you a Web Designer or Developer?

I do both, design and development. Figma is used for creative design and Webflow to execute the design.

Why use Webflow?

In my opinion, Webflow is far superior to any current web software on the market. Webflow also provides its own hosting which makes online life easier. Within Webflow there are no plugins to constantly update, the sky's the limit for design and animation creation, and there are less security risks compared to WordPress.

Can I update/maintain my website or will I need a developer?

Yes, after your website is launched you can do basic updates and changes to your website. I will give you a basic crash course in Webflow. I am always here to help you with updates and future website rebuilds.
