How it Works
At iDesign, we hold two key principles that set our wesites apart from the rest:
simplicity & efficiency.
We believe in creating beautiful, responsive websites that present your business in the simplest terms, and deliver all the information your customers need, in the most effective way possible. We achieve this by streamlining the design process into 3 simple steps and funneling all of our clients into one of 3 basic site tiers. This is how we are reliably able to deliver a 2-4 week turnaround for everyone we work with, regardless of the size or scope of the business. See the breakdown below:

Our 3-Step Model
Step #1
Discussion Phase
Free Consultation
Roadmap/Timeline
The first step in our process involves a sit-down with the business owner, where we ask questions about the company itself and put together a vision for the project. During this step, we ask for no money up front! This is so we can determine which of our three tiers is the best fit for your business, and so that we can establish an appropriate timeline for the next two phases.
Step #2
Design Phase
Back-and-Forth
Frontend Layout
After we have gathered the necessary information from you, we get straight to work bringing your new vision to life. During this phase, we like to go back and forth with our clients: sending design and branding ideas; sharing photos and site layouts; and honing in on a presentation that really speaks to everything your business offers. At this stage, we may put together several "mock sites" to determine a style that best represents you. We may even come out to take professional on-site photography or offer custom logo design—whatever the website needs to see your business vision through!
Step #3
Development Phase
Live Demo Site
Backend Setup
By Stage 3, we are all hands on deck! Once we have settled on a design for your website, we immediately begin development to get the project off the ground within 2-4 weeks. During development, we set up a live demo version of your website, so you can see all of our updates and changes in real time. This way, any necessary changes or requests can be made before your site is published. During this phase, we will also plug in any third-party integrations your site needs, such as payment processing or booking. And finally, we will set up your website's backend with one of our highly-rated web hosts, as well as set up your custom business email.
Our 3-Tier System
I
Our first tier is your basic landing page. This website is the perfect solution for restaurants, landscapers, event planners, personal trainers, etc. We find this tier to be the best fit for small businesses, startups, and self-employed individuals whose work often follows a singular focus. Whether to show off your portfolio or to simply give your clients a place to book appointments, this website is the perfect tool to show the world what you're all about while funnelling new clientelle straight to your business!
INCLUDES:
INCLUDES:
- Up to 10 Unique Pages/Sections
- Custom Business Email
- Minor Integrations (i.e. Contact Form, Calendly, etc.)
- Lifetime Maintenance & Support
II
The second tier is just what you'd expect: a step above a basic landing page. Websites that fall into this tier may appear just like a Tier 1 site at first, but ultimately offer much more in terms of customer engagement and back-end involvement. A Tier 2 site may have a digital store-front or rental system, which would require not only a checkout system in the front end, but also an admin panel and inventory management for the back. Tier 2 may be appropriate for car washes or clothing boutiques, property management agencies or self-storage companies, etc.
INCLUDES:
INCLUDES:
- Up to 15 Unique Pages/Sections
- Custom Business Email
- Major Integrations (i.e. Payment Processing, Shipping, Booking, Inventory Management, etc.)
- Lifetime Maintenance & Support
III
Our final tier is exclusively for large, enterprise-level operations. This tier often steps outside the scope of any website and into the realm of dedicated web applications. Best fit for established franchises and brands, these sorts of projects will require 24/7 maintenance due to the volume of client interaction, orders processed, and the demand for regular site-wide updates and overhauls. Think grocery stores, major retailers, amusement parks, and even public school systems.
