Web Design / Case Study
Bridle Path Pub is our first web design case study. In this section we want to let you in to our methods of designing, developing and ultimately getting a site live on the internet. Enjoy.
Bridle Path Public House – Whickham, Gateshead, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
From day one onwards, project communication is the most important aspect for a good relationship with any client. This means that as soon as the Bridle Path Pub contacted us, we asked when we could go and meet them. This first consultation stage is included in all of our web packages and allows us to fully understand the intention of your site and what you exactly want to achieve.
This proposal was then taken on board and we asked them to look into other website designs for inspiration. Once we knew their vision, we could take it and begin to design the site. This period also included gathering any images and text that would go into the site.
While the design of the site was in progress, we could begin thinking about finding a suitable domain name for them. We gathered a selection of names and they picked the exact one they wanted. This allowed us to purchase the name on their behalf and consider what hosting package would be right for them. Because it was a small, brochure-style site, we decided that we could host it ourselves. This meant it was quick and easy when the site was ready to go online.
Once the first draft website was completed, we showed the clients. This meant we could make any necessary changes before going live. They decided they wanted some more sections, including a history section and various food and drink sections, along with more images on certain pages, so this was resolved.
The second draft was then shown to the proprietor and all changes were given the okay. As soon as we get confirmation that everything is fine, we can begin putting the whole website online. This takes a matter of days.
This website was designed, developed and put online within two weeks, meaning this pub now has vital marketing identity on the internet.
