A Carefully Curated Toolkit

Building a website is much more than just picking out some pretty colors and images. Web design requires a number of skills and tools to complete a project that delivers results. There are a number of tools and software programs we use here at Full Scope Creative to deliver websites. In this blog we’ll look at a couple of our most used tools to help us create these stellar websites.

WordPress

WordPress serves as the backbone of the websites we build with its powerful Content Management System (CMS). The great part of WordPress is its ability to empower us with dynamic content management, offering a user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, and scalability. From small business websites to large-scale platforms, WordPress forms the foundation upon which we craft engaging online experiences.

One of the things we love about WordPress is that it is very easy to come back to a website project and add more to it down the road. A site might start as a basic 4 or 5 page website, but as the clients business grows and changes, we can add in photo galleries, online store options, scheduling abilities, and so many more features.

Whatever visual design our designers design for a site, we can get that design programmed into WordPress. Even better – it is very easy for our clients to maintain these websites on their own.

SEMrush

SEMrush plays a pivotal role in elevating our search engine optimization strategies and goals for the sites we build. Through SEMrush we’re able to gain valuable insights on things like advanced keyword research, competitor analysis, performance tracking, and even website improvements. By using SEMrush, we are able to build websites that not only look great, but that can also rank highly for organic search traffic.

WooCommerce

For clients venturing into e-commerce, WooCommerce emerges as our go-to solution for crafting seamless online stores. Integrated seamlessly with WordPress, WooCommerce offers a feature-rich platform for creating and managing online shops. Its flexibility, customization options, and robust e-commerce capabilities make it an indispensable tool in our toolkit.

Adobe

The Adobe suite stands as the powerhouse for unleashing our creative potential in web design. Tools like Photoshop and Illustrator are instrumental in crafting visually stunning websites. From graphic design to image editing, Adobe’s suite provides the versatility and precision required to bring our creative visions to life, ensuring that our designs stand out in a competitive digital landscape.

Google Workspace

Communication
Collaboration and communication are the pillars of successful projects, and Google Workspace keeps our team connected and in sync. With features encompassing email, document sharing, and real-time collaboration, Google Workspace fosters seamless communication and efficient collaboration. This suite enhances our ability to work together, irrespective of physical locations, ensuring a smooth and collaborative workflow.

Zoom

In the era of remote work, Zoom has become an indispensable tool for facilitating collaboration and communication. With its video conferencing, screen sharing, and virtual meeting capabilities, Zoom enables us to bridge the gap between team members and clients, fostering effective communication and maintaining a sense of connection despite physical distances.

Evolve Web Host

The foundation of any successful website is reliable hosting, and Evolve Web Host is our trusted partner in this regard. With a focus on performance, security, and customer support, Evolve Web Host ensures that our websites are hosted on a stable and secure platform. This commitment to excellence in web hosting aligns seamlessly with our goal of delivering top-notch web experiences to our clients.

Powerful tool, Powerful Websites

Our web design toolkit is a carefully curated ensemble of tools that collectively contribute to a well-rounded and efficient workflow. From the foundation provided by WordPress to the collaborative power of Google Workspace and Zoom, each tool plays a unique role in ensuring our projects are successful and our clients are delighted.
