“U7 helped us create an attractive, modern, and effective website for people to look us up. In the short amount of time since its been launched, I’ve already got some inquiries and comments that we wouldn’t have received before. Everyone at U7 was great to work with and laid out a very simple process for us to follow and make sure out vision was captured!”
Ryan Arbuthnot, Valley Steel
“Our collaboration with U7 resulted in a website that is converting visitors for us at about 70%-80% (no joke). We run an immigration consultancy and if we can get prospects to our website they almost always become a client. The design of the site fits our strategy perfectly, which is to create an instantaneous personal connection with and establish the bona fides of the principal of our company, Renata Brum. I don't know if the site could be any better than it turned out and it is performing way, way beyond our expectations. I presume the savvy team at U7 will do the same stellar work for your business as they did for ours.”
Michael Rand, Brum Immigration
Is your organization experiencing any of the following painful symptoms?
A custom web design solution could be the cure.
What comes next?
What’s included in your process?
While we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, our custom website porjects each follow a similar set of steps from our first meeting to the launch day. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us!
Discovery and strategy
The discovery and proposal phase normally includes a discovery call and document, a project plan, and a quote! We often require multiple discussions with prospective clients, depending on how complex your website is going to be.
If you’re on board, we’ll begin the strategy phase. Together we’ll establish your desired brand strategy, user experience (UX) strategy, and the website architecture.
Design and build
This is the part where the visual elements of your custom website start to come to life! With the help of our in-house graphic designer, our team will begin writing or sourcing content, and creating wireframes and mockups. Once approved, our design team will hand off all the approved mockups and assets to the development team. The developers will set up the infrastructure and tools required to get started on building your website.
Testing and performance tuning
Testing and performance tuning is arguably the most important step of the whole process, because if your website doesn’t function properly, it isn’t going to deliver the results you need to meet your needs and goals.
As our client, we will ask you to take part in reviewing the dev site (the work in progress) and test it out to see if everything works to your liking. We’ll also do some testing of our own which includes design verification, functionality testing, browser compatibility testing, and more.
Go live
We made it! Your custom website is now ready to launch. We’ll flesh out a deployment plan that is specific to your needs and follows all best practices for a secure launch.
Once live, we’ll train you on how to use your new website for a seamless transition. Our team will always be available to help with future questions or new features, as your business evolves!
Now let’s get real...
Would we work well together?
We’re passionate about delivering the best custom solutions to the types of clients who would benefit most from working with us. As an agency, we aim to be as transparent as possible in all aspects of our projects, from quoting to go-live.
A custom website from U7 may NOT be for you if...
- You’re looking for a quick fix
- Your budget is under $15000
- You want your project to be finished in 1-2 months
- You don’t have time to be involved in the process
- Your schedule can’t fit in weekly or bi-weekly meetings
- You aren’t open to changing the way things have ‘always’ been done
We aren’t trying to sell EVERYONE on a custom website – our goal is to work with eager organizations and teams who are READY to completely transform their web presence, and have time to meet with us to provide feedback and input along the way.
