Website Design & Development
We design and build sites that communicate your brand with clarity
Websites that are clearly designed for you and your target audiences.
At Cowley, we don’t just ‘build websites.’ We develop customer-focused online experiences that connect with purpose and achieve the results you’re after…be it establishing your organization’s credibility and thought leadership; educating various visitors about complex topics; generating leads, commencing conversations, or conducting e-commerce.
It’s also worth noting that, just like the weather, web development is constantly changing. That’s why our web team stays on top of the tools, trends, and technologies with a view to ensuring you benefit from the latest SEO best practices, new and engaging UI concepts, security and functional updates, and useful analytics (most often achieved via Google Analytics, which we install on every site).
An Iterative Process
Cowley follows a tried-and-true web development process that solicits and reflects your input and feedback at every stage. Starting with a thorough discovery session that takes into account the needs and wish-lists of all key stakeholders, we move through a series of gradual, incremental steps that take the guesswork and mystique out of the process — from our simple (but comprehensive!) sitemap; to a wire-frame of your homepage and navigation; to a secure beta site where you can see your homepage and secondary pages develop in real-time; to a completed website ready for final QC, de-bugging, and testing across browsers and devices. By being involved at each stage, you also save time, costs, headaches, and big (potentially unpleasant) surprises when it’s time to go live.
Best of all, we give you the keys
The simple and sad truth is that many web development companies still — to this day — intentially keep you at arms length from your own website. Not Cowley. Quite the contrary, we take great pride in developing and giving you full access to your website’s content management system (CMS). Depending on your comfort level or in-house expertise, all of our clients typically manage upwards of 95% of their site’s content with little to no hands-on support from us. We even include CMS training with every site we build — which is recorded for future reference!
