Build Your Own Website
Offering the option for the business owners who want a more collaborative approach in creating their website.
This is an option for those that want to do more of the website creation themselves.
Want to build your own website with co-creation web design approach?
Co-creation and co-design refer to working with customers to create a website.
We offer the option for business owners who want a more hands-on approach to their website's design and build process. We work together to create the website in a more collaborative process. This can have a powerful impact on empowering business owners or artists to take control of their websites. Additionally, it can be affordable for those who want professional web design.
We have found co-creation works well for the following clients:
The entrepreneur
The entrepreneur who wants a start-up website that may have can be changed quickly often appreciates the co-creation option. Involving the entrepreneur in the website creation process empowers them to be able to make changes on their website and evolve as their business changes, grows and develops.
The artist or creative small business owner
This option works well for artists who have a design already in their mind's eye.
They have the option to design on the page with the page builder or provide the design to the web designer. The web designer takes care of the technical side of things. The artist may want more control and options that some of the other website builders offer including performance and SEO.
The budget-conscious small business owner
This is a popular option for the budget-conscious small business owner who wants to do a lot of the work themselves with assistance and tutoring from a professional web designer.
If you want an affordable website, a self-installed WordPress site is a better place to start than many website builders. WordPress is built around a core set of features sufficient for a basic website. It will also offer the capacity to add functionality, improve your search engine optimisation, custom design, unique content and social media integrations, RSS feeds for Newsletters, etc., when needed later.
There are a few barriers to entry that can easily be overcome when you hire a professional to get you started. How much professional help you will need will depend on how technically skilled you are, if you are willing to learn new technologies and how much time you have.
How is Co-design Facilitated?
As web designers, we aim to become design process guides or facilitators. We leverage our expertise in design, knowledge of SEO and marketing to guide the creation process with our customers. We can undertake any technical parts of the web design process and provide custom instructional videos to flatten steep learning curves.
Co-design can occur at any point or proportion across the web design development process.
Conclusion
Our collaborative, cooperative and creative potential hinges on our ability to understand each other, use everyday language and work together to co-create a great website.
