Crafting Digital Identities

TOTEM's Approach to Website Projects

In today’s digital landscape, a company’s website is often the first point of contact between a brand and its audience. As a leading web design agency, TOTEM understands the critical role a website plays in shaping perceptions, driving engagement, and ultimately, contributing to business success. Our approach to website projects goes beyond mere aesthetics; we create digital experiences that embody the essence of your brand and resonate with your target audience.

Strategic thinking blended with innovative design

At TOTEM, we pride ourselves on being more than just a website agency. We’re a creative agency that blends strategic thinking with innovative design to deliver b2b corporate websites that stand out in a crowded digital marketplace. Our process is collaborative, transparent, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. Let’s dive into how we approach a website project, from initial concept to final launch.

Discovering your brand’s digital potential

Every great website starts with a thorough understanding of the brand it represents. That’s why we kick off each project with an in-depth discovery session. This isn’t just a casual chat; it’s a deep dive into your brand’s DNA, your business goals, and your vision for the future.

In this session, we’ll explore:

Your brand’s core values and unique selling propositions
Your target audience and their online behaviours
Your current digital presence and areas for improvement
Your competitors and how we can help you stand out

This initial meeting sets the tone for the entire project. It’s where we start to build a partnership based on trust and shared objectives. We’re not just listening; we’re actively engaging with your ideas, challenging assumptions, and bringing our expertise to the table.

The TOTEM difference is aligning strategy with design

As a creative agency, we know that a stunning website is only effective if it aligns with your overall brand strategy. This is where our expertise in branding truly shines. We don’t just design pretty pages; we create digital experiences that reinforce your brand identity across every touchpoint.

Our team will work closely with you to ensure that every element of your website – from colour schemes to typography, from imagery to user experience – reflects and enhances your brand. We’ll consider how your website fits into your broader digital ecosystem, ensuring consistency across all platforms.

Carving out your digital niche through competitive analysis

In the digital realm, standing out is crucial. That’s why we conduct thorough competitive analysis as part of our process. We’ll research your competitors’ websites, identifying industry standards and trends. But more importantly, we’ll look for opportunities to differentiate your brand.

We’ll present our findings to you, showcasing how we can create a website that not only meets industry standards but exceeds them. Our goal is to position your brand as a leader in your field, and your website will be a key tool in achieving this.

Telling your brand story through your content strategy

A website is only as good as its content. At TOTEM, we believe that compelling content is the heart of any successful website. Our content strategy development process ensures that your website not only looks great but also communicates effectively with your target audience. Whether you’re providing the content or need our support in creating it, we’ll ensure that every word and image on your site works hard to engage your audience and drive your business goals.

Bringing your brand to life with design

With a solid strategy in place, our design team gets to work creating custom mock-ups that bring your brand to life online. This is where creativity meets strategy, resulting in designs that are not only visually stunning but also purposeful and user-friendly.

We’ll present these initial designs to you, encouraging your feedback and input. After all, this is your website, and we want you to love it as much as we do. We’ll refine and revise based on your comments, ensuring the final design perfectly captures your brand essence.

Keeping you in the loop

Transparency is key to our process. We provide a clear project timeline that outlines each phase of the project, from initial design to final launch. You’ll always know what’s happening and when, including when we’ll need your input or approval.

Our project management approach ensures that:

Milestones are clearly defined and communicated
You’re regularly updated on progress
Any issues are promptly addressed
The project stays on track and on budget
No hidden cost surprises

Speaking of budget, we believe in transparent pricing. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown of costs, explaining exactly what you’re getting for your investment. If we offer different pricing packages, we’ll clearly explain what’s included in each, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and budget.

We build for performance with technical excellence

While design is crucial, the technical aspects of your website are equally important. As an experienced website agency, we ensure that your site is built on solid technical foundations. We use industry best practices to create websites that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well across all devices and platforms. Our relationship doesn’t end when your website goes live. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your website continues to perform optimally and evolve with your business needs. From regular updates to troubleshooting, we’re here to support your digital presence for the long haul.

Our portfolio speaks volumes and we have a proven track record

We’re proud of our website design in Ireland, and we love to share it. During our process, we’ll show you relevant case studies and examples from our portfolio. These aren’t just to showcase our skills; they’re to demonstrate how we’ve helped businesses like yours achieve their digital goals.

The final handover sets you up for success

When the project is complete, we provide a comprehensive handover. This includes all necessary files, access to your CMS, and training materials. We’ll ensure you and your team feel confident in managing your new website moving forward. And hold your hand as the site goes live.

Your digital success is our mission

At TOTEM, we’re more than just a web design agency or a website agency. We’re your partners in digital success. Our approach to website projects is thorough, collaborative, and focused on delivering results that drive your business forward.
