Design and Development Process
1. Research and Planning:
We began by researching the renewable energy market and competitor websites to identify best practices and opportunities for differentiation. We held meetings with RKM Energy to understand their brand, vision, and specific requirements for the website.
2. Design Phase:
Using Figma, we created wireframes and prototypes for the website. This phase involved several iterations based on feedback from RKM Energy. Key design elements included:
- Clean, Minimalist Layout: To emphasise the content and visuals without overwhelming visitors.
- Vibrant Color Scheme: Utilising yellows and black to align with renewable energy themes and RKM Energy’s brand identity.
- High-Quality Imagery: Showcasing RKM Energy’s projects and renewable energy sources to engage and inform visitors.
3. Development Phase:
Once the design was finalised, we moved to the development phase, building the website on WordPress. This platform was chosen for its user-friendly interface and robust content management system, allowing RKM Energy to easily edit and update the site as needed. The development included:
- Custom Theme Development: Tailored to the design specifications provided by the Figma prototypes.
- Responsive Design Implementation: Ensuring the site looks and functions well on all devices.
- SEO Best Practices: Implemented meta tags, alt text, and a clean URL structure to improve search engine rankings.
4. Testing and Launch:
Before the launch, the website underwent thorough testing to ensure functionality, responsiveness, and load times met our high standards. After final approval from RKM Energy, the website was launched.
