Our services
Kick off
Questions are at the heart of a good web design process, and that’s where we start.
- We want to uncover what makes you different from your competition?
- Who your ideal customer is
- What have previous campaigns been like?
- Where are you as a business in 3, 5, 10 years?
These are just a few of the design questions that we use to get to know you and how you operate in a competitive field.
Design document
You are then presented with a summary document that outlines the outcomes and areas where we believe you can benefit. Designing a website is a lot of work, and success is built on a strong brief.
Style boards
Style boards serve as the connecting step between the brief and design mock-ups. They are a collection of visual pieces that we think should be the direction of your website. We may have slightly different ideas of what you are looking for. Style boards help us get on the same wavelength when it comes to a visual style. This step saves a lot of time.
Your new design
We typically work with design software to produce visual layouts. Things really start to take shape, and we present designs of what your new website will look like. You will see proposed mock-ups with full colour, brand and layout. Iterations can happen after this stage, but we are typically similar to what you, the client, are looking for. Your new website should really be taking shape now.
Web development
Once the design and aesthetic are confirmed, it’s time to move into the technical and coding aspects. Complete testing takes place on a plethora of real-world devices, rather than commonly used emulators, which can yield inaccurate results. Your site will be usable, performant and accessible.
Marketing
Your marketing campaign typically starts now, although the plan would be agreed upon in the summary document. On a larger organic SEO project, we typically begin working online before this stage, as search engines can take some time to reflect the changes made.
Launch
That big day has arrived, and we're launching your newly designed website online for the world to see. Thoroughly revised and revitalised, your new site should attract more visitors and generate more enquiries.
Responsive web design
As reliable web designers, we ensure your website works on all modern smartphone devices, the latest watches and TVs, as well as everything in between. This is technically known as responsive web design, coined by the renowned designer Ethan Marcotte. It’s nothing particularly new in web design, but it’s a technique that we use alongside mobile-first, which is another method of building from mobile devices up, through tablets, and then into large screens, such as flat screens. Rest assured, your site will be well-built and secure. Enough of the technical stuff, though; you leave that up to us.
Working remotely
Although we are based in Aberdeen, Scotland, we are a remote company. Remote working enables us to deliver an exceptional level of expertise, leveraging the skills of other experienced web designers and developers when projects require their expertise.
Built for web design results
Your website should be more than beautiful; real online growth in your business is what you need. With Media Surgery, you don’t just get a pretty-looking website; you get results from your investment with us. Beautiful websites with impact.
