FAQs

What exactly was done for this project?

Everything visible on the page. This includes writing the words, designing the layouts, creating the graphics, and writing the code to build the site. It was a complete rebuild from scratch, not a minor style update.

What are the software dashboard screenshots shown on this page?

Those are designs for the SaaS application's actual administration console. Along with the public marketing website, the software interface was designed to establish a unified design system. This gave the SearchSpring’s internal developers broad and detailed layout examples to use when building out the rest of the app.

Is software and application design a standard part of the service?

Yes. Designing product interfaces, dashboards, portal screens, and mobile apps fits naturally right alongside the brand and website work. If a business runs a custom software tool or a specialized digital product, the visual style is built to carry across both the public website and the internal application.

Was this built from a template or designed from scratch?

Completely from scratch. Pre-made templates or themes are never used. Every layout, asset, and section is custom-made to fit the specific goals of the project.

Does every website have to use WordPress?

No. Dan is platform agnostic, even though Dan has it's preferences. WordPress was used for Searchspring because it matched their specific technical needs at the time.

How long does a website project like this take?

For a website similar to what you see above, typically between 4 to 6 months. There was considerable asset and graphic creation in addition to the site design itself. The exact time depends on how many pages are needed and whether a new logo, graphics package, custom illustrations, or visual branding needs to be created before the website design begins.
