So You Want to Build a Website with LevelTen?

You're doing some research for a Dallas website design company or web development agency and you've stumbled across our site. The first thing you do is judge us by our own design. Then you dive deeper into our blog. Let me help by sharing some of the most informative blog posts to show you what LevelTen is all about.

Back in April, we hosted our annual Results Oriented Web Summit. Although the event included speakers, panels and attendees from companies all over the DFW area (and beyond), we specifically chose speakers and topics based on our beliefs about web design and user experience, project management, marketing (social media and search) and content creation and website development. We figured if we were going to throw a party, let's make sure it aligned with our own business vision.

Here are some blog posts highlighting that vision:

Gathering Information

Before you begin a website redesign, let's make sure not to lose all of the good stuff from your current or previous website. Let's take a close look at what draws visitors to your site as it stands now with a content/SEO audit.

Web Design/User Experience

When we start a project at LevelTen, we sit down with our client and determine not only their expectations, but the expectations of their site visitors as well. One of the tools we use in this part of our process is creating User Personas. This post explains how to create user personas and why they are used to understand and attract site visitors.

As we're thinking about design for your new site, we don't want to lose visitors at the home page. Instead, let's be aware of what people look for when they visit a website.

Website Development

For website development, it's no secret that LevelTen is the leading Drupal shop in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. We teach Drupal, we design and develop in Drupal and we write about Drupal. We're also *cough* a little opinionated about Drupal.

Project Management

To better understand our creation process, one of our project managers wrote the following post on the three phases of strategy and planning. As a client of LevelTen, you will be guided through these phases with a dedicated account manager.

Strategy and Planning: The Backbone of Website Design

We believe in launching a project, measuring results and make tweaks. This is why we aim for launching early and often. Just as with any art, a beautiful piece is never finished but instead iterated over time to match what visitors are coming to see.

Why Every Website Should Launch Early, Launch Often
