Our approaches and procedures for responsive web design
This is how we build super-fast and customer-oriented websites
-
Content management systems
Our approach is always pragmatic and we select a suitable system depending on the use case and budget. As software developers, we don't want to hype any particular content management system. Our most frequently used systems include WordPress, Drupal, Typo3 and Joomla. Websites that want to display many products but are not designed for sales are often created with a store system such as Shopware, from which we then program the sales buttons.
-
Desktop, tablet & mobile
Responsiveness and conversion optimization are at least as important as the technology in the background. Responsive websites automatically adapt to the optimal display on all screen sizes, from desktop or laptop computers to tablets and smartphones, without compromising the design experience or performance on the part of your customers.
-
No templates but templating
Our credo: No templates but templating. We rely on standard frameworks and build an individual template developed specifically for your company. When it comes to templating engines, we are trained on many different platforms and frameworks. We regularly work with Bootstrap, Twig and Smarty.
-
Aesthetics & design
At the start of the project, our design team will gather information from you about what you want from your new website, make suggestions and research competitors to create an action plan before moving on to the next phase. This is where we develop an innovative structure and sitemap and the layout of your new website so that everyone involved has a clear picture of how the finished project will be structured. The design team will first present the layout and home page elements to you for review and approval. Once the layout is complete, we can begin development while we finalize the home page and work on the designs for the subpages.
Our web design process
7 steps to a unique design
Are you looking for a responsive web design that suits your company and your target group and wondering how to implement it? At EXWE, the development of your individual web design comprises several steps. We are in constant direct contact with you throughout the entire design process. This enables us to ensure iterative development.
The great advantage of a responsive web design is that your web application is available and intuitive for all users - regardless of which device they are using. Our agile development of your new design enables you to reach and inspire your target group in a timely manner on all channels.
-
Requirements analysis
To ensure that you receive a design that meets your expectations, fits your company or brand and also appeals to your target group, the first step is to analyze the requirements for the design project. We look at your existing design, discover potential for improvement and record what you would like to see in your future design. We document this together with you in order to record the performance requirements and details of the project. We can then also determine the timeframe for your project.
-
For a successful collaboration, it is essential to create a concept design. The concept contains all the requirements and our plans for implementation. Our graphic artists, designers and developers know what is important and what you need for a successful web design. Of course, we welcome your valuable feedback at this point in the design process so that we can make improvements. Your wishes and requirements, coupled with our expertise and creativity, result in a unique roadmap that avoids delays and misunderstandings and can produce a successful end result.
-
Planning & Design
In the next step, we take care of the design. We create all visual aspects of your web project such as layout, color scheme, typography, images and more. In doing so, we ensure that the web application can be used intuitively and responsively on all devices. This results in a design draft that can be implemented in the next step after further consultation with you.
-
Development
Now it's time for implementation. In this phase, our designs are developed and actually integrated into your web application. We focus on full transparency and give you updates on our progress in regular meetings. A direct contact person is always available to you during the entire design and development process. Of course, we also document all implemented tasks so that you can access an up-to-date cost and performance overview at any time.
-
Testing
Before your new design goes live, we carry out extensive tests to check for possible errors. In this way, we can also guarantee that there are no usability problems with your web project and that users have unrestricted access from all browsers and devices. Of course, we also check that we have met all the defined requirements of the project and only when all the designers, graphic artists and developers in our team are 100% satisfied will your web design project be completed.
-
Go-live
After five exciting steps, the time has finally come! Your new design finally goes live. Together we can now celebrate the completion of a successful project. But our collaboration doesn't have to end if you don't want it to.
-
Support & monitoring
To ensure that your design continues to function flawlessly, updates will always be necessary. This is because technology continues to evolve. This is exactly where our support and monitoring packages come in. On request, we can provide you with a suitable contingent and take care of all updates and work that will be required for your web project in the future.
