How we design a site

Six steps from benchmark to launch

Scroll to watch one homepage go from competitor research to sitemap, wireframe, UI and a live Umbraco build.

  1. We audit your current site and up to five competitors for speed, content, UX and conversion paths, so the brief starts from evidence rather than opinion.

    • UX & SEO audit

FAQ

Questions before you brief us

Something else on your mind? Email hello@semroi.net

  • How long does a new website take?

    Most sites take 8 to 14 weeks from benchmark to launch. A focused landing page or a small brochure site can be ready in 4 to 6 weeks.

  • Why do you recommend Umbraco?

    Umbraco is open source, so there are no licence fees, and it gives editors a clear block-based backoffice. For projects that need a separate front end, we run it headless with Next.js.

  • Can you work with our existing brand?

    Yes. We apply your brand guidelines during conceptual design and extend them into a web component library. If the guidelines are thin, we fill the gaps and document them.

  • Will we lose search rankings when we relaunch?

    We map every old URL to a new one during information architecture, carry over metadata and monitor Search Console for 60 days after launch.

  • What happens after launch?

    You can move to a care plan covering hosting, security updates, Umbraco upgrades and a monthly block of design and development hours.
