Our most frequently asked question is “How does your web design process work?”
It’s asked so often that we decided to dedicate a page specifically to showcasing how our design process works.
Whether you need a simple 1-page funnel, or an enterprise-grade solution with multiple automations to other services to streamline your business workflow, nothing is too big or too small for our tiny but mighty team of designers and developers.
Journey through our easy-to-understand process with us as we detail what you can expect when you get a professionally designed RAD Website.
RAD Websites Web Design Process
Our Steps to Success, Your Guide to Greatness
Consultation
Tell us about yourself, your business, your goals.
The more information you provide, the clearer the vision for your website becomes. If you have examples of sites you like, we can use them for additional inspiration. We can do this in person over coffee or online over Zoom.
Design
Now the fun begins.
Using the information and materials you’ve provided, we start crafting and refining the website of your dreams.
No dream is too big, no detail too small.
Client Review
Perhaps our favorite part of the process.
Reviewing the design with you allows you to provide feedback, introduce new ideas, and slide in additional desires to your site before it’s completed. We then return back to Step 2, and refine.
We proceed Step 5 when Step 4 has nothing to change.
Functions and Testing
Time to simplify your life.
Whether we’re creating an e-Commerce store, event website, or shoveling data from your site to several destinations, we’ve got you covered.
Automations, custom coding, email creation, and site security are completed in this stage.
Launch
The moment you’ve been waiting for.
Your website is published for the masses to visit. You give your link to your friends, your family, your social and business networks.
“You land a ZILLION DOLLAR DEAL, and retire in paradise.”
We wish this for ALL our clients, but results may vary.

What we'd like you to know
All RAD WordPress Hosting Packages offer the following:

What does this mean?
Your hosting space is set up with the latest version of WordPress automatically.
This saves you time and allows you to dive right into your design work.
Free SSL Certificate
Ensure visitors can get to your site without hassle.
Why this is important:
Without an SSL Certificate, traffic to and from your site can be intercepted by anyone, including Login information.
Modern browsers often prevent people from visiting sites without an SSL Certificate.

Why we do this:
We want to make your web design experience as easy as possible.
We provide tips, tricks, and recommendations for leveraging your WordPress site.
Unlimited Bandwidth
No traffic limitations on our RAD Hosting Platform.
Why this is important:
Many hosts will throttle or even prevent access to your website if you exceed a bandwidth threshhold.
On our platform, so long as your site abides by our ToS, you get unlimited bandwidth!
Money Back Guarantee
We promise to deliver an excellent experience to you.
What are the conditions?

Why this is important:
Some webhosts will throttle or completely stop your website when your traffic exceeds a certain amount per month.
So long as you're within our Fair Use Guidelines, we offer unlimited bandwidth with no throttling and no downtime.
Daily Malware Scans
We like to keep our servers free of Internet diseases.
Why this is important:
An infected website is a risk to your business, your visitors, and sometimes even us as a host.
We do everything we can to ensure ALL RAD Hosted websites are free of infection.
Free DDoS Protection
Prevention against bots trying to take your website down.
Why this is important:
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack is when several computers in a "botnet" are told to access your website at the same time.
This can cause your website to go down; we protect against this type of attack.
Free Daily Backups
In case of emergency, return to before emergency.
Why this is important:
Everyone should backup their website. So... why make it optional?
With that in mind, we didn't. EVERYONE gets free backups!
US-Based Helpdesk
We're available to help when you need us the most.
Why this is important:
Some people have a preference.
We're happy to be based out of sunny (sometimes too-sunny) Arizona!
