Our Process
Our website development process, built to rank
A clear six-step process, from the first call to a launched, tracked and growing website.
The Webvantik process has six steps: discover, plan, design, build, launch and grow. Most websites go live in 7 to 15 days, e-commerce stores in about 30, and every project includes 365 days of support after launch.
Our website development process has six clear steps: discovery, structure and content, design, build, launch and ongoing SEO. You see progress at each step, approve the design before we build it, and launch with tracking and your enquiry dashboard ready.

Process questions, answered
How long does it take to build a website?
Starter websites go live in about 7 days, Business websites in about 15 days and e-commerce stores in about 30 days. The timeline depends on how quickly content and approvals reach us.
Do I need to write the content?
You can send us what you have and we will shape it. Content writing is available as an add-on, and we structure every page around the questions your customers ask.
Can I see the design before you build?
Yes. You approve wireframes and design mockups before any development begins, so there are no surprises.
What happens after launch?
You get 365 days of support and training on your admin dashboard. Many clients add monthly SEO or social media so the website keeps growing.
Will you move my existing website?
Yes. We rebuild or migrate your site and set up redirects, so the rankings you already have are protected.
