Building a website can feel like a huge, overwhelming task, especially when you’re trying to capture the unique essence of your brand. You know you need a site that reflects both your personality and what you offer—but where do you even start? At Dreamsyte, we’ve made it simple: in just 7 days, we’ll help you go from idea to launch with a custom website that speaks to your clients and feels authentically you.
Here’s how we do it—broken down step-by-step:
Step 1: Find Your Style!
One of the first things we ask you to do is take our Style Quiz. This is one of the most fun and crucial parts of the process! Your brand’s website should not only communicate clearly to your clients but also reflect who you are. Your website is an extension of your business personality—it should vibe with your audience while staying true to you.
Through the quiz, you’ll pick your favorite fonts, color schemes, and layouts. We’ve designed it to help you zero in on the style that feels like “you,” making it easier for us to build a site that feels like home from the first click.
Why this matters:
When your brand feels like you, it’s easier to connect with your ideal clients. They’ll recognize that you’re the right fit for them, simply because your vibe aligns with their needs. A website that speaks both to you and your clients is the foundation of an authentic and effective online presence.
Step 2: Figure Out Your Goals
Before any design work begins, it’s important to ask: What’s the primary goal of your website? Are you trying to sell products, book services, or simply provide information? Maybe you want to build an email list or direct people to your social media. Whatever it is, clarity is key.
At Dreamsyte, we take time to understand your business goals and who your ideal client is. This ensures we’re designing a site that helps you achieve what matters most to you, whether it’s attracting more clients, growing your brand, or launching a new product.
Pro Tip:
Ask yourself, “What do I want people to do when they land on my website?” The answer should guide everything from your content to the site’s layout and calls to action.
Step 3: Map Out Your Content
Now that you’ve nailed your style and goals, it’s time to think about content. Your website is a journey that takes potential clients from curiosity to action. Whether you’re telling your story, showcasing services, or sharing client testimonials, every section should move visitors closer to the goal.
We’ll work together to map out your content in a way that flows naturally and makes it easy for visitors to engage. This might include:
- A strong homepage that grabs attention and explains what you do.
- Service or product pages that clearly outline how you can help.
- A blog or resource section where you share valuable insights (hello, SEO!).
- A contact or booking page that makes it easy for clients to reach you.
Remember:
People visit websites because they’re looking for a solution. Make sure your content speaks directly to their needs, while reflecting your unique voice.
Step 4: Design Your Site
Now that you’ve got your style, goals, and content nailed down, it’s time for the fun part—design! This is where everything starts to come together. We use the inspiration you provided in the style quiz and start creating a site that feels uniquely yours.
Your design will take into account everything we’ve learned about you and your brand, including colors, fonts, images, and layouts. Our goal is to create a seamless experience where everything—design, copy, and user experience—works together to create an impactful brand presence.
Step 5: Build It and Add Your Content
Once the design is locked in, we’ll start building your site, adding all the content we’ve mapped out. This is where it becomes real! We’ll make sure everything functions smoothly, from navigation to links, ensuring the site is not only beautiful but also user-friendly and fast.
We’ll also make sure your site is mobile-friendly since over half of website traffic these days comes from smartphones. You want your site to look just as amazing on a phone as it does on a desktop!
Step 6: Launch!
After final revisions and testing, it’s time to go live! Your website is now ready to showcase your unique brand to the world. You’ll have everything you need to confidently direct people to your site, knowing it reflects your essence and speaks to your ideal clients.
Launching a website is such an exciting moment—this is where all the planning, designing, and building pays off. You’re officially online with a site that represents you and your business in the best possible way!
Bonus Step: Build Anticipation with Behind-the-Scenes Content
Why wait until your website is live to start building excitement? While we’re working on your site, you can share behind-the-scenes content on social media, giving your audience a sneak peek at what’s coming. Show the style quiz results, share snippets of your branding, and invite people to join your email list so they don’t miss the launch.
This creates buzz, gets people engaged early on, and ensures you’ll have an eager audience ready to visit once your site goes live.
