Or here’s a short version:
Phase 1: Requirement Gathering
Understanding what a project will deliver is critical to its success. Team working on the project should gather all the relevant information. This helps in driving the project to a successful closure.
Phase 2: Quoting the Client
The cost per hour you bill your client is your call. But there are a few aspects which you should not miss while quoting:
Quotation = (Effort you spend on studying the structure of the website and researching) + (Effort for data analytics ) + (Effort you spend on persona building exercise) + (Wireframing Effort) + (Time taken for design conceptualization) + (Designing effort) + (Coordination effort with cross functional teams) + (Effort you spend on review and approval meetings)
Phase 3: Persona Building
Personas are generalized characters that encompass the various needs, goals, and behavior patterns among your real and potential customers. They help you understand your customers better.
Phase 4: Data Analytics
Analysis of web data helps in understanding and optimizing the web design. Google Analytics and heatmap study helps in drawing meaningful information. This study helps in knowing what works on the website and what does not!
Phase 5: Wireframing
Information gathered in the previous phases will give you a launchpad to kickoff wireframing. Be sure to continuously review wireframes so you don’t go building in the wrong direction.
Phase 6: Web Design Conceptualization
Don’t jump into designing straight away after wireframes. Soak-in all the information and wireframes before you actually start designing the website. This gives a direction to your designs.
Phase 7: Designing (Finally)
And now you are all set to design!
