At Blackstorm Design + Marketing, our website design process begins with the discovery phase where the client discusses his needs, dreams, and requirements. It is here that our team gathers all the necessary information to get your website design process started. During this stage, you give us your brand identity collaterals like your logo, fonts, and colors that you want to use in the new website. Our team will take all that information to develop a home page design or a mockup.
After designing the mockup, we will present it to you for review and approval. If you are not happy with the mockup, we will go through many rounds of revisions you might have towards the design till you are fully satisfied with it. Once you are happy with the home page design, our team will go ahead and design the rest of the site pages. We will later submit the rest of the site to you as kind of the final proof.
Once you approve the final web design mockups, we will proceed to make it live ASAP. Once we make your website live, our team will go through all the bug resolving issues, and going forward we will maintain it on an ongoing monthly basis. This will ensure that you get a new website that is fast loading, spam-free, responsive and adaptable to any browser.
The last part of our web design process involves creating high-quality content that can easily attract your prospect or client’s attention. Our copywriters and SEO content creators will ensure that your website content is appealing and strong, to help your business easily retain clients and inspire them to book appointments or close a sale. After launching your website, we will continuously perform A/B tests, add new content, and update your brand’s message to make your site more efficient and better. We are excited to present to you a new website created by Blackstorm Design + Marketing.
This is one of the common questions we get from home service contractors. It is also one of the key pillars that determine the success of your web design project.
The response we give to most clients is the same…… it depends on various things.
On average, we aim for a turnaround of between six to eight weeks, but the pace of any web design project is set by each client. The length of time it takes to obtain a new website can be shortened based on; the amount of input you offer during the initial stages, your availability to offer feedback, and the time it takes to write content-all these factors affect the rate at which your web design project is completed. The desired functionality of your website also plays a critical role-more complex websites will take more time to design and develop.
For example, a simple page website (of less than 10 pages) should take anywhere between 3 to 4 weeks. This time frame is possible assuming that you want a custom design. If you have another web design agency telling you that they can create a website in a week, then that’s not a custom design.
Yes! We love it when our clients take control of their website and learn to manage it on their own. We’ll provide you with a set of comprehensive video tutorials to help you learn your way around, as well provide you with a training session to help get you on your way.

We can! We provide on-going support for many of our clients. Check out our WordPress Support Packages.
Yes! You will 100% own your contractor’s website-unlike other local web design agencies that hold your website hostage. You will be surprised by the high number of web design companies that have hidden clauses in their contracts.
Getting your home service business designed by BlackStorm Design + Marketing involves a very simple and quick process. First, you will give us your brand identity collaterals such as the colors, fonts, and logos you want to use on your website. Equipped with your expectations, our seasoned digital marketers will come up with a homepage design. They will later present it to you for possible revisions or approval. If the home page design is not in line with your expectations, you will suggest specific revisions or additions, which our developers will take note of and rectify in the shortest time possible. Once you are happy with our home page design mockup, we go ahead and create other pages of your site and present them to you for final review and approval.
Once approved, we will make your website public or live. We perform various tests through the entire process, including a full code review after first development as well as load time and cross-browser testing before going live. This ensures that you get a responsive contractor website, loads optimally on desktop and mobile devices as well as offers a pleasant experience to your users.
At BlackStorm Design+ Marketing, we have helped hundreds of home service contractors like you build high-quality, responsive websites that generate a consistent stream of qualified leads every month.
