A website is more than just a website. It’s a reflection of your brand. What do prospects see when they show up at your virtual front door? Is it easy to find?
At SteadyRain, we understand the true value a website can provide, which is why we have a strong passion in offering web consulting services constructed to make the most of - every click, every visit and every conversion.
Today, there’s more to digital strategy than just having a presence online. A website won’t help your brand reel in more prospects or sell more product if it isn’t set up for success.
We understand the challenges brands face in the digital world today. We bring our knowledge and experience in web development, design and digital marketing to the forefront to create an effective digital strategy custom-built for your brand.
Developing a Digital Roadmap for Your Brand
Creating a successful digital strategy doesn’t have to be a path down the lonely road. SteadyRain is with you every step of the way until we cross the finish line together.
Our website consulting services are designed with one goal in mind: to make your business a better place online. It’s important to understand that a successful website consulting project is completely human-driven. We take a personalized approach to each unique brand we work with. We don’t have a magic switch we can flip to make your website better—it just doesn’t work that way.
So, how does it work? At SteadyRain, we start every website consulting project with an Comprehensive Discovery period. During the early stages of a website consulting engagement, we lead our clients through a Joint Application Design/Development (JAD) process in which we work together to uncover unique business opportunities and audience insights. This crucial step helps us ultimately understand what makes your prospective customers tick, and how we can best address their needs in your online presence.
Other elements within this Discovery period include:
Business Overview
Before we take the first step with our website consulting process, we take the time to gain a comprehensive understanding of what you do, why you do it and who you do it for. Every business is different with unique KPIs in mind. We’re experienced in a variety of industries—but we never see the same thing twice. Let’s get to know each other.
Market Review
Once we know more about your business, we get to know the market you work in. We aim to understand your brand and the niche it serves just as well as you do. Whether you’re targeting a localized audience or the entire country, we can develop a plan designed to yield the most effective results.
Competitive Review
To be the best in your industry you must beat the best. Or, maybe your brand is already an established leader in the industry and you want to reaffirm your position at the top. We examine your competition with a microscope and a fine-tooth comb to uncover insights and opportunities that give you more than just a leg up.
Audience Insights
A thorough understanding of your audience is crucial to long-term success. We work closely with your brand to create in-depth dashboards that clearly illustrate key decision makers and the appeals that speak to them, helping to create effective calls-to-action to close the deal.
At a high-level, these insights can be used throughout other steps in the process to help create a customized solution tailored to your audience.
Digital Landscape Evaluation
Based on insights we have gained about your business, the market it serves, its competition and who you are targeting, we evaluate how you are currently performing online. We look at all facets of your brand’s internet presence, including the look-and-feel of your current website, any marketing channels you are participating in (such as paid search, paid social media, etc.) and how your business can benefit from other digital marketing solutions we offer, such as search engine optimization (SEO), display advertising, and more.
Because, again, what good is a website if you’re not putting it to work for you?
Functional Specifications & Wireframe Design/Development
The fun part of any website consulting project is putting our insights to work and getting you closer to the final product – a functional website that looks equally great on mobile devices and desktops.
