Web design

Useful digital places, shaped around a real audience.

A website is often the first place where a person tests a brand’s credibility and decides what to do next. AWAG Marketing’s source material treats web design as a functional process: understand the requirements, organise the information and build an experience that works across devices

Based on AWAG’s existing service information.

01

Start with the purpose

A corporate site, editorial platform, service website and online shop ask different things of their visitors. The brief should define the audience, the primary actions and the information people need before page layouts are designed.

02

Design the route, not just the page

Navigation, hierarchy, copy, visual language and calls to action work together. The interface should make orientation easy and maintain the character of the brand without adding friction.

03

Quality beyond the launch

Responsive behaviour, loading performance, accessibility, content management, analytics and ongoing maintenance shape the real experience after a site is published.

04

Content architecture comes before decoration

Pages, messages and calls to action need a clear hierarchy. Content modelling early in the project prevents attractive screens from concealing gaps, repetition or an unclear route.

05

Launch is a controlled transition

Redirects, metadata, analytics, forms, consent, accessibility and editorial permissions should be verified before the new site replaces the old one.

Platform, integrations, content responsibilities, hosting and maintenance are agreed within the project scope.

A website system, not a collection of screens

Strategy, content, experience, technology and operations need one shared brief.

01

Meaning and structure

Define audiences, messages, information architecture, content ownership and conversion routes.

02

Interface and behaviour

Develop responsive layouts, components, interaction, accessibility and meaningful motion.

03

Technology and continuity

Select the platform, integrations, analytics, security, hosting and maintenance model.

From evidence to a confident launch

Each phase reduces a different kind of uncertainty before development is finalised.

01

Discover and organise

Audit the current site, audiences, content, data, constraints and success criteria.

02

Design and validate

Create architecture, content, prototypes and the visual system; test important journeys early.

03

Build, assure and launch

Implement components, integrate systems, migrate content and complete technical and editorial QA.

Good to know

01What does a web-design project begin with?

It begins with the business objective, target audience, existing content, required functions and the actions visitors should be able to complete.

02Can AWAG redesign an existing website?

Yes. A redesign starts with an audit of the current structure, content, technology and user journey so that useful elements are preserved and weaknesses are addressed.

03Will the site work on mobile and desktop?

Responsive behaviour is part of the design and implementation process. Important journeys should be checked across relevant screen sizes and input methods.

04Who provides the website content?

Responsibility for research, copy, translation, imagery, legal review and final approval is agreed at the start; AWAG can support the required disciplines.

05How is quality checked before launch?

Key templates, devices, forms, links, performance, accessibility, metadata, tracking and redirects are reviewed against an agreed launch checklist.
