We’ve Built Websites From Only a Word Document

When speaking with a potential clients, I often mention that we’ve created websites directly from a text file or Word document. No images, no layout, just text/copy.

Rather than tell you, why not show you…

Chang-Castillo and Associates needed a new website for their language translation business. Shortly after our kickoff and goal setting meeting, they sent over their copy deck (word document). Now it was our job to layout their copy based on the goals set during that kickoff meeting.

Below are the copy blocks transformed into a cohesive web design (click image to view larger version):

If your ready to launch your new website but only have text (copy)…no problem. We can transform that copy into a dynamic website. Contact us to make it happen.

And if you’re still here, great! Learn how it all came together…

1. Based on the goals established during our kickoff meeting, subsequent client survey’s and the copy deck we sketched out some copy blocks for the homepage

2. Then we complied just the homepage copy from the copy deck into one document and then segmented it out into copy theme blocks.
   homepage-content
   
3. From the newly created homepage copy deck, we incorporated each copy block into a layout block on the wireframe design. You can see how the copy and design is beginning to take shape.

4. Upon approval of the wireframe our graphic designers, do their magic and wrap a beautiful skin around the copy. Using the wireframe as a guide, they introduce the logo, colors, images and overall brand identity into the visual design.
   
5. From there we move into Production stage and build the page(s) into web friendly format and launch.

And that’s how we get a Word document or text file to a fully functional working website.
