Understand
Before design
We learn what the site has to do, who uses it, and what breaks today.
We talk to the people who will run the site and look at what you have now: the pages, the tools behind them, and the questions your office answers by phone. It ends in a short written brief you approve before anything is designed.
What happens
Current site review
Tools and systems you already use
Who uses the site, and for what
What breaks today
Content that exists, and content that does not
A written brief you approve
Design
Two rounds
Structure and content first, then the look.
We agree the page structure and the words before the visual design, so feedback is about real pages, not placeholders. You get two rounds of feedback on real pages with real words.
What happens
Site structure and navigation
Page content plan
Visual design on real pages
Accessible colour and type
Two feedback rounds
Sign-off before the build
Build
To the Standard
We build on WordPress to the GMNI Standard: accessible, fast, findable and secure.
Content lives in fields that make sense, forms and integrations connect to the tools you already use, and every page is checked against WCAG 2.2 AA as it is built.
What happens

Editing fields shaped to your content
Forms, registration and integrations
WCAG 2.2 AA checks
Speed on real phones
Search basics: titles, structure, schema
Launch
Team trained
Your team is trained before launch, and the site goes live on hosting we run.
Before go-live we test the whole site on phones and desktops, check every form, and train the people who will edit it. You keep a recorded walkthrough for whoever joins next.
What happens
Mobile and desktop testing
Form and payment tests
Accessibility and speed check
Team training

Care
Every month
Updates, monitoring, fixes and one improvement every month, under Managed Care.
Launch is the start of the relationship. The same people keep the software current, watch the site, fix what breaks, and plan what the site should do next as the organization changes.
What happens
Hosting and security
Software updates
Monitoring
Fixes when something breaks
One improvement every month
Planning ahead with you
