Getting Started
Here’s an overview of what we may need to start when building a website for you.
These steps will guide you so that you know what to expect and what content you may need to give us.
If you have any questions, give us a call.

2. We’ll send you a Dropbox or Google Drive folder


Dropbox or Google Drive are great online image/file sharing platforms. You may not need one for every project, but if you have more than 15-20 images for your website, or if they’re too big to send through email, we can use Dropbox or Google Drive. We can also use them to share important logins and credentials instead of sending through email. We will set up a folder for the project and share it with you via email. You can upload all images and files there.
3. The design process when building a website
Designing a website, no matter how big or small, is an extensive process that can be overwhelming. We’ve outlined our process into three steps to help you understand what to expect during the design and development.

1. CUSTOM DESIGN WEBSITES
A large part of designing a website is in the planning and layout stage of the process. Woodswork create a basic Home page wireframe diagram to confirm the site requirements and logic. The wireframe requires approval before we start building your site. The wireframe does not reflect the site design; we keep the wireframe looking basic on purpose! We use Lorem Ipsum now to indicate type areas. Depending on the project budget, we may decide to design the home page and possibly a subpage for approval before we continue the build.
2. DEVELOPMENT
3. EDITS & REVISIONS
4. Wrapping it up & going live
Congratulations!
During the build and approval stage, your website is hosted on our secure WordPress host; your site has only been able to be viewed by those sent the link. Now it is time to point your domain to your new website. To do this we need access to your domain name hosting credentials. If you are unsure what these are, we can usually help you find out. Once this is done, your site is on the world wide web.
Now the site is live, it may take 24-48 hours for the new site to pull up on some devices. Some computers will need to be refreshed to see the new site, though most will see the new site immediately – this can depend on the WIFI connection.
Your website login/s are sent to you via email. You’ll also receive a temporary password that you can reset. Once your new website is live, we’ll send you a link to our “moving forward” and “training” pages with tips and tricks on using your new website.
