Website Development

Every new project begins with a simple idea. As part of your first consultation with our UK website development team, we’ll work together with you to refine and develop your concept so that we can begin to build out the scope that we need to turn your idea into reality.

We start by understanding what helps you to stand out before looking at how your idea compares to other concepts within your industry. Once we’ve done this, we’re one step closer to delivering a successful website for your business.

Remember, this process will take some time – but as your UK website dev partners, we will jump in where necessary to provide you with advice along the way.

Once we’ve refined your idea, we then need to gain a better understanding of your competitors, as well as your target audience and how you want your website to be received in the industry.

This step is crucial to ensuring that we design a high-quality website solution that ticks every box on your list of requirements – helping us to finalise the scope involved in your project. In addition to your final website product, we also offer a marketing playbook that you can use to plan the promotion of your UK website to the world once it’s launched.

For more high-end website builds, our team of UI & UX designers in the UK will start to put together some website wireframes. This is where your website will first start to take shape. Then, using the scope and strategy that was fleshed out in the first couple of stages, our designers can begin to map out your user journey.

This is where our experienced team will begin to identify the more technical specifications and requirements of your website build.

App Boxer’s team of UK brand specialists will work with you and your team to design and develop a high-calibre brand for your business. This stage involves building a collaborative mood board that better helps us to understand your visual direction, before developing several concepts that we believe align with the personality of your brand.

Once we’ve done this, we’ll provide you with a document that outlines and details your brand guidelines – as well as high-quality versions of your logo.

Once the branding is finalised, our UX/UI designers will begin applying your these elements, including colour and typography, to the completed wireframes. Our designers work with the user at the forefront of their decision making. This ensures that each design choice will suit the users expectations and needs. Upon completing this, you will receive a high-fidelity prototype that you can use to promote your website to investors if required.

Once we’ve finalised your branding, our talented UI/UX web designers will apply your branding guidelines to your wireframes, focusing on elements such as typography and colour while putting the user at the forefront of every decision they make. This helps to ensure that every design choice meets the needs and expectations of your user.

Once completed, you’ll receive a high-fidelity prototype that can then be used for promotional purposes or when seeking investment.

As we continue to work on your website’s UI/UX strategy, our UK business analyst will begin to create your website’s user stories. This is the point where every interaction and feature of your website is outlined in a highly detailed document – providing a comprehensive guide to the technical and functional requirements of your website. This document is critical to supporting the back-end development and helps to provide final cost estimations and any plans for future development.

Depending on your website’s complexity and the constraints of your budget, our website development team may use a variety of different processes and techniques to code and put together your website’s functionality.

If you require a more complex website, we will utilise Django or a JS framework for your site’s front-end development. If it’s a simpler build, we will look to solutions such as WordPress, HTML, CSS and JavaScript to construct your site.

Before going live, we ensure that the website we have developed for your business is of the highest standard and functioning correctly using several quality assurance testing techniques. These include:

• UI/UX Testing: Our designers check your website against their original UI/UX strategy to ensure complete accuracy and proper workflow implementation.
• Security Testing: It’s extremely important to ensure that we protect user data from any external threats and work to maintain security and confidentiality throughout your website. We test your site comprehensively to restrict any unauthorised access to user data while also installing SSL certificates to keep communication between your website and servers encrypted.
• Stress Testing: We place your website under moderate stress with the help of an automated testing tool to uncover any problems or blockages in your website’s performance and scalability.
• Final deployment into the market:   Once testing is complete, our web dev team will migrate your new build from our staging servers to a production server. They will then conduct further testing to ensure that it continues to operate at a high standard before completing the launch.

As part of App Boxer’s three-month product warranty, we will continue to monitor your website and its performance to ensure we catch and address any functionality issues or bugs that might appear after launch.
