Our process

Our process is designed to ensure a seamless collaboration that brings your vision to life. From discovery through to final design and launch, we prioritize intuitive structure, engaging design, and an experience that resonates with your audience. Here’s how we make it happen.

01. Discovery

Site Nine Studios will work with the Unimarket team to understand your business goals, target audience, and website objectives. We'll review the existing website, identify opportunities to improve the user experience, and establish a clear strategy for the homepage, solutions section, and overall migration.

02. Information Architecture

We'll review the existing website structure and refine the information architecture where appropriate, ensuring the redesigned homepage and solutions section integrate seamlessly with the existing content. Navigation and page hierarchy will be optimized to improve usability while maintaining a familiar experience for existing users.

03. Design, UX & UI

Once the information architecture has been approved, we'll begin the design phase. Our focus will be on creating a modern, intuitive user experience for the homepage and solutions section, while ensuring the new designs integrate seamlessly with the existing website structure.

Our design philosophy centres on creating engaging, user-focused experiences that balance aesthetics with usability. Every design decision is guided by best practices in UX, helping users quickly understand Unimarket's value proposition and navigate naturally towards key actions such as booking a demonstration.

As page designs are completed, they will be presented as an interactive website prototype in Figma, allowing your team to review the designs in your browser and provide feedback directly on each page. Once the overall layouts and user experience have been approved, we'll move into development, where content can continue to be refined throughout the build process.

04. Development

We recommend WordPress as the ideal platform for Unimarket's new website. As the world's most widely adopted Content Management System, WordPress offers exceptional flexibility, long-term scalability, and an extensive ecosystem of trusted tools and integrations. The result is a modern platform that's easy for your team to manage while providing a strong foundation for future growth.

The new website will be built on a custom WordPress theme tailored specifically to Unimarket's requirements. The redesigned homepage and solutions section will be complemented by a flexible library of reusable content modules, allowing your marketing team to easily update content and build new landing pages while maintaining a consistent brand experience.

Our development team follows modern coding standards, delivering clean, secure, and high-performance code optimized for SEO, accessibility, and fast page load speeds.

Throughout development, you'll have access to a staging website for review. Using BugHerd, your team can place feedback directly onto each page, allowing comments, revisions, and approvals to be managed collaboratively throughout the build process.

05. Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is integrated throughout every stage of our development process to ensure a reliable, high-performing website at launch. Our QA team thoroughly tests the website across all major browsers, devices, and screen sizes to verify functionality, usability, responsiveness, and overall performance.

Using industry-leading tools such as BrowserStack, we simulate real-world environments to identify and resolve issues before launch. We also validate forms, interactive functionality, responsive layouts, page performance, and content to ensure a seamless experience for your users.

With Site Nine Studios, you can be confident your new website will be thoroughly tested, optimized, and ready for launch.

06. SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is built into every stage of our development process, ensuring your new WordPress website is built on a strong technical foundation. Alongside modern design and user experience best practices, we implement clean, semantic code that follows industry-leading SEO standards.

We'll ensure key technical SEO elements are configured correctly, including page titles, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt tags, XML sitemaps, and structured page markup where appropriate. As part of the migration, we'll also implement 301 redirects to preserve existing URLs and search engine rankings, along with a custom 404 page to provide a seamless experience for users encountering outdated or broken links.

This technical foundation will support Unimarket's ongoing SEO strategy and help ensure a smooth transition from the existing website.

07. Account / Project Management

Our team utilizes a comprehensive project management app to track timelines, milestones, and updates internally, guaranteeing smooth progress from start to finish.

Throughout the development journey, we prioritize clear and consistent communication with our clients. Our dedicated team ensures that you receive regular updates and insights into the status of your project.

For collaboration and feedback, we leverage tools like Figma for design mockups and BugHerd for streamlined communication on development progress. These tools enable us to work closely with our clients, ensuring that their vision is realized effectively and efficiently.

With Site Nine Studios, you can rest assured that your project is in capable hands, with transparent communication and meticulous attention to detail every step of the way.
