A clear process keeps projects on time and on budget, and it means you always know what's happening and what comes next. Whether it's a business website, an e-commerce store or a custom web app, every Entec Media project follows the same four stages.
1. Discovery
We start by learning about your business, audience, competitors and goals. What does success look like in six months? Who are your best customers, and what do they need to see before they contact you?
What you get from discovery
- A clear project scope with every page and feature listed.
- A sitemap showing how content will be organised.
- A fixed quote and a timeline with milestones.
- A list of the content and access we'll need from you.
2. Design
We create wireframes first to agree on structure, then high-fidelity designs for desktop and mobile. You review real designs — not vague descriptions — and we refine them with your feedback until they're right.
We'd rather spend an extra day getting the design right than an extra week rebuilding it later.
Every design is built on a small design system — colours, type, buttons and components — so the site stays consistent as it grows.
3. Development
Our developers build clean, fast, SEO-friendly websites using modern frameworks like Next.js, with a content management system so you can update text, images and blog posts yourself.
Built in from day one
- Mobile-first, fully responsive layouts.
- Core Web Vitals and image optimisation.
- On-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, schema and sitemaps.
- Security best practices and regular backups.
- Analytics and conversion tracking.
You get a private staging link to see progress as we build, so there are no surprises at launch.
4. Launch & growth
Before going live we test every page on real devices and browsers, check forms and integrations, and set up redirects so you don't lose existing search rankings. Then we launch, monitor and fix anything that comes up.
After launch
- Training so your team can manage content confidently.
- 30 days of free support for any issues.
- Optional maintenance plans for updates and security.
- Ongoing SEO and ad campaigns to bring in traffic and leads.
How long does it take?
A typical business website takes 3–6 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger e-commerce sites and custom web applications take longer, and we'll give you a detailed timeline before work begins.
