For companies from Cologne: Our approaches for responsive web design
How we develop powerful, fast and intuitive websites
-
Content management systems
We always take a pragmatic approach and choose the right system depending on the respective area of application and budget. As developers of software solutions, it is far from our intention to emphasize a specific content management system. The systems we use regularly include WordPress, Drupal, Typo3 and Joomla. For websites that aim for an extensive product presentation without being directly geared towards sales, we often rely on an e-commerce system such as Shopware, from which we then remove the sales functions.
-
Desktop, tablet & mobile
Adaptability to different screen sizes and conversion rate optimization are on a par with the importance of technical fundamentals. Responsive web design ensures that websites automatically adjust for the best possible view on all end devices, be it desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones, without sacrificing design quality or user experience.
-
No templates but templating
Our motto is: No prefabricated templates, but templating. We rely on proven frameworks and create a customized template developed specifically for your company. We are experienced in working with templating engines in a variety of platforms and frameworks. Bootstrap, Twig and Smarty are among the tools we regularly work with.
-
Aesthetics & design
At the beginning of the project, our design team captures your ideas and wishes for the new website, submits design proposals and analyzes your competition to create a plan for the next steps. We then design an innovative structure and sitemap as well as the layout of your new website to ensure that everyone involved has a clear idea of the final structure of the project. First, we present the layout and design elements of the home page for your review and approval. Once the layout is complete, we begin development and finalize the home page at the same time as we create the designs for the subpages.
Our web design process
6 steps to a unique design for your company from Cologne
Are you looking for a web design that not only fits your company and your target group perfectly, but also adapts flexibly to different end devices? Are you wondering how this process is organized at EXWE? The development of your customized web design goes through various phases in which we are always in close contact with you. This enables us to refine the design step by step and adapt it to your needs. The key advantage of such a responsive design is that your website is accessible and user-friendly for every user, regardless of the device used. Thanks to our agile development approach, you will be able to quickly and effectively engage and delight your target audience on any platform.
-
Requirements analysis
To ensure that the final design is exactly what you want, fits seamlessly with your business or brand and successfully engages your target audience, we start with a thorough analysis of your design requirements. We take a look at your current design, identify areas for improvement and capture your vision for the future design. We work with you to capture these insights to define the specific performance goals and details of your project. Based on this information, we can then estimate the timeframe for the realization of your project.
-
A crucial step for a fruitful cooperation is the development of an initial concept design. This draft integrates all defined requirements as well as our strategies for their implementation. Our team of graphic artists, designers and developers bring the necessary expertise and creativity to understand what is required for an effective web design. At this point in the design process, we value your feedback to make any necessary adjustments. Combining your ideas and needs with our expertise results in a clear plan of action that eliminates misunderstandings and delays, paving the way for a successful project.
-
Planning & design
The next step is the design of your web project. This includes the creation of all visual elements such as the layout, color scheme, fonts, images and much more. Our goal is to design a web application that is not only visually appealing, but also intuitive to use on all devices and responsive. Based on these considerations, we create a design draft that is implemented after further consultation with you.
-
Development
Now the practical implementation begins. In this stage, we bring the previously created designs to life and integrate them into your web application. We attach great importance to openness and keep you up to date on the development steps with regular meetings. A dedicated contact person is assigned to you throughout the entire design and development process to clarify any questions. It goes without saying that we keep detailed records of all work carried out so that you always have an insight into the current cost and performance balance.
-
Testing
Before your new design is published, we carry out extensive testing to rule out possible sources of error. This testing ensures that there are no operating problems on your web project and that users can access it without any problems, regardless of the browser or device used. We also verify that all previously defined project requirements have been met. Only when every member of our team of designers, graphic artists and developers is fully satisfied is your web design project considered complete.
-
Go-live
After five exciting phases, the time has come for your new design to go live. This marks the ceremonial conclusion of a successful project that we can look back on together. But this doesn't have to mean the end of our collaboration if you would like further support.
-
Support & Monitoring
Regular updates are essential to ensure that your design runs flawlessly in the long term, as the technology landscape is constantly evolving. This is where our support and maintenance packages come into play. Depending on your needs, we offer you a customized package and take care of all future updates and upcoming work for your web project.
