Why Your Franchise Website Matters
A well-crafted website serves as the cornerstone of your franchise marketing strategy, acting as a powerful conduit between your brand and potential franchisees. When entrepreneurs visit your website, they’re not only seeking information, they’re evaluating the essence of your brand. A sleek, intuitive interface combined with engaging videos, podcasts, infographics and testimonials enhances your credibility, instills confidence, and fosters trust.
How the Process Works
Research and Planning: This stage starts with our client kickoff call, where we learn more about the brand, share project deliverables, and outline the project due dates. Following the kickoff call, we start researching and planning for the next phase. During this phase, we also collect brand assets and documents to jumpstart the design process. Our team will schedule interviews with your staff and franchise owners, so we can gather information for the web copy. This may also be the stage where we schedule a field visit.
Design and Content Creation: After we have the proper materials and interviews, we start designing and creating the content for your franchise development website. This timeframe may involve a field visit. While our videographers are capturing the footage, our Creative Director is creating a design mockup of your website, and our writer is crafting your web copy. As soon as the design is approved, we move forward into development.
Development: This is where you start to see the pieces fit together! Our developer starts coding the design into a staging site, an interactive working preview of your new website. At this stage, we can fill in the pages with our original web copy and expertly edited footage taken from the field visit, and make any minor adjustments to the look and functionality.
Pre- and Post-Launch: During the final stage, we work with your team to ensure you are happy with your new website. We schedule a full day to launch your website, making sure to handle everything, including posting on our socials about our latest launch to gather the attention of the franchise industry. Now that your site is live, you can start generating traffic to your site! What’s next? Learn more about our Lead Generation services here.
