The Crucial Role of Communication in Website Development

Jan 22, 2024

"What's the timeline for getting a website done?"

That is one of the most frequently asked questions we encounter. The answer to this question, more often than not, lies in the hands of our clients and their ability to communicate effectively.


Timely Content Submission: A Key Factor

When embarking on the exciting journey of developing a website for your business, one of the critical factors influencing the timeline is the content. Many clients underestimate the importance of timely content submission. Your website is a reflection of your brand, and its success hinges on the information you provide. Delays in content submission can significantly impact the project timeline, leaving both parties frustrated.


At Layton45, we've observed that 99% of delays are attributed to clients waiting to send over the necessary content. We encourage our clients to recognize the significance of their role in the development process and to prioritize the submission of required materials. This not only expedites the project but ensures that the final product aligns seamlessly with your brand message.


Clear Communication: Bridging the Gap

Another crucial aspect of a successful website development process is clear communication. As a client, it's essential to understand that we are skilled in bringing your vision to life, but are not mind readers. Articulating your ideas, preferences, and expectations clearly is instrumental in achieving the desired outcome.


One common misconception is assuming that the designer is fluent in your specific industry. While having a lot of experience in website design, we may not be experts in your field. Clear communication helps bridge this gap, allowing Layton45 to tailor the website to suit your business needs effectively.


Overcoming the Client-Designer Divide

To ensure a seamless website development journey, fostering a transparent and open line of communication is key. Regular check-ins, feedback sessions, and addressing concerns promptly contribute to a collaborative atmosphere. This proactive approach minimizes misunderstandings and promotes a sense of partnership between the client and Layton45.


In conclusion, the success of your website development project lies in the hands of both parties involved. Timely content submission and clear communication are not just desirable but imperative for a smooth and efficient process. As a website design company, we are committed to delivering exceptional results, and with your active participation, we can create a digital presence that truly reflects the essence of your business. Let's communicate, collaborate, and create something extraordinary together!

Take a look at the most recent new website design for the attorneys at Reddick Langworthy Family Law! And what a great group of people to work with on this! (you can click on the image to see the full site) Their old design was pretty 'blah' on not only design, but content, so we all worked together really hard to give their firm the representation it deserved. Those phonebook advertising company designs are pretty 'out of the box,' and with SEO changing to more content-driven rankings, image alt text, etc. it was definitely time for an upgrade. It has been interesting to see their website traffic data grow since launch day! There are more sites in the works (including an e-commerce site) and things have been busy in the social media management department as well. I have a feeling you may have seen an ad or post we have designed for others in the social media world! I'm looking forward to sharing more as things keep growing and progressing forward!!
