Website design vs website strategy

Design is what people see. Strategy is what makes it work. Here is how the two relate.

Many local businesses ask for a redesign when what they actually need is a strategy.

A redesign without strategy almost always recreates the same problems in a prettier format.

Strategy comes first

Positioning, messaging, audience, structure, and conversion plan. Those are strategy decisions. They determine what every section of the site has to do.

Then design

Once strategy is clear, design becomes a tool to support it: typography that communicates the right tone, layout that supports the right flow, motion that draws the eye to the right action.
