What Website Strategy & Development Can Include
The scope depends on your current website, goals, audience, technology and what the project needs to accomplish.
Strategy & Experience
Website Strategy & Planning
Clarify the website's goals, audiences, priorities, content requirements, functionality and role within your wider digital presence.
Sitemap & User Experience
Create a clearer information architecture, page structure, navigation and user journey so visitors can find relevant information and move toward meaningful next steps.
Website Copy & Messaging
Develop audience-focused website copy that communicates your value clearly while supporting usability, conversion and search visibility.
UX/UI & Visual Direction
Shape a consistent, accessible and responsive experience that brings together your brand, content, readability and functionality.
Build & Optimise
Website Development
Build the approved experience with responsive layouts, CMS functionality, forms, integrations, custom features and the technical implementation required by the project.
SEO & Technical Foundations
Build search considerations into website structure, metadata, headings, internal linking, mobile usability, performance, structured data and other relevant on-page or technical elements.
Performance & Accessibility
Improve website speed, mobile performance, usability and accessibility where required, with recommendations and implementation based on the website and project scope.
Launch & Support
Testing & Launch
Review layouts, links, forms, functionality, responsive behaviour, integrations and agreed technical requirements before launch.
Ongoing Website Support
Continue with maintenance, updates, backups, troubleshooting, performance improvements, security monitoring, content implementation or ongoing optimisation where needed.
Website Development & Technical Capabilities
A website project can involve much more than creating new pages.
Depending on your existing technology and what the website needs to do, DelCreatives can support the strategy, development and technical work behind the experience.
WordPress Development & Support
WordPress is one of our core website capabilities.
Support can include custom website development, redesigns and rebuilds, theme and plugin customisation, migrations, troubleshooting, maintenance, backups, performance improvements and ongoing technical support.
We can also work with established WordPress builders and frameworks where appropriate to the existing website or project requirements.
Ecommerce & WooCommerce
For organisations that need to sell products, resources, subscriptions or other offers online, website projects can include WooCommerce and ecommerce functionality.
This may include store setup, product and category configuration, payment integrations, checkout functionality, subscriptions, product variations, shipping and tax configuration, troubleshooting and performance improvements.
Online Courses, LMS & Membership Websites
For educators, trainers, experts and organisations delivering learning online, we can support course and learning-management functionality, including LMS setup and customisation, course structures, student access, memberships, subscriptions, payment integration and user management.
Website Performance & Technical Optimisation
A website should work well behind the interface as well as look professional.
Technical improvements can include website speed optimisation, Core Web Vitals, image optimisation, caching, database optimisation, CSS and JavaScript improvements, mobile performance and reviews of plugins, themes or hosting-related performance issues.
Website Accessibility
Accessibility can be considered throughout website strategy, design and development or addressed as part of an existing-site improvement project.
Depending on scope, this can include accessibility reviews and improvements to navigation, forms, images, content structure, colour contrast, keyboard usability and other relevant WCAG-conscious website elements.
Technical SEO & Website Optimisation
Website projects can include technical and on-page SEO foundations such as site and heading structure, metadata, internal linking, XML sitemaps, robots.txt configuration, structured data, Search Console setup and other agreed technical improvements.
SEO work is scoped according to the website and project requirements rather than treated as a guarantee of rankings.
Website Integrations & Custom Functionality
Where standard CMS functionality is not enough, we can develop or integrate additional functionality using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, databases and APIs.
This can include custom forms, dynamic content, API integrations, custom WordPress functionality and other agreed website features.
Hosting, Migration, Backup & Security Support
Website support can also extend to the infrastructure around the site, including migrations, staging environments, backups and restoration, domains and DNS, SSL configuration, hosting environments, website security, troubleshooting and recovery.
Website Platforms We Can Support
We work across a range of website platforms depending on your existing setup, project requirements, and long-term needs.
Other platforms and existing technology stacks can be assessed during discovery. We recommend the approach based on the project rather than forcing every organisation onto the same platform.
The exact technical scope is confirmed after reviewing your website, infrastructure and requirements.
Identify the Need
New Website, Redesign, Refresh, Migration or Technical Improvement?
Not every website needs to start again.
New Website
For a new organisation, initiative, programme, service or brand that needs a professional digital home built around its audience and goals.
Website Redesign
For an existing site that needs significant changes to its structure, messaging, user experience, design, technology or functionality.
Website Refresh
For a solid website that needs targeted improvements to pages, layouts, messaging, mobile usability, accessibility, SEO, performance or functionality.
Website Migration
For moving a website to a more suitable platform or hosting environment while protecting and improving its structure, content and experience along the way.
Website Optimisation & Technical Improvement
For websites that do not need a full redesign but have specific performance, SEO, accessibility, functionality, security or technical issues that need attention.
We'll first look at what you already have and what you need the website to do before recommending the right approach.

Website Strategy & Development FAQs
Do I need a new website or can you improve my existing one?
Both are possible. We first review your current website, goals, technology and priorities, then recommend whether a new build, redesign, refresh, migration or targeted technical improvement makes the most sense.
Do you provide website strategy before development?
Yes. Website strategy can include audience needs, site structure, navigation, user journeys, content requirements, functionality, platform considerations and technical requirements before development begins.
Can you write the website copy?
Yes. Website copywriting can be included where relevant, with messaging shaped around your audience, page purpose, brand positioning, user experience and SEO requirements.
Do you build SEO into the website?
Yes, where relevant to the project. This can include SEO-friendly site architecture, metadata, heading structure, internal linking, mobile usability, performance improvements, XML sitemaps, structured data and other on-page or technical foundations.
SEO requirements vary by project, and foundational website SEO is different from an ongoing SEO programme.
Can you support the website after launch?
Yes. Depending on the engagement, ongoing support can include CMS updates, maintenance, backups, monitoring, troubleshooting, security support, content and layout updates, performance improvements and ongoing website optimisation.
Build a Website That Better Supports Where You're Going
Whether you need a new website, redesign, strategic refresh, migration or technical improvement, we'll help you understand what needs to change and turn that direction into a website built around your audience, goals and longer-term needs.
From strategy and messaging to development, optimisation and ongoing support, the objective is not simply to launch another website. It is to create a stronger digital foundation for what your organisation needs to do next.
