Knoxville Website Design & Development Agency

We don't just gather requirements. We get curious. Our discovery phase is about understanding what's behind the request for a new site. Why now? What's broken? What needs to grow? We evaluate your current site (if one exists), traffic behaviors, competitive landscape, and internal workflows. We identify constraints, opportunities, and define success metrics. We dig into brand identity, user expectations, and business goals so that every decision made downstream is purposeful. This isn't a PDF brief. It's a collaborative deep-dive designed to align stakeholders and uncover smarter solutions.

Design at Make Me Modern is more than aesthetics. It's strategic visual communication. Our process begins with a designer-led kickoff call, where your answers shape the structure, tone, and priorities of the site. We don't stop until we have directional clarity. Then comes exploration: mood boards, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups in Figma. Every component, from header hierarchy to mobile nav, is designed for clarity, impact, and conversion. We test patterns, iterate quickly, and present you with intentional options. The result? A design that feels elevated, intuitive, and entirely yours.

Our development process bridges design precision with technical excellence. We select the right stack for your needs, most often WordPress for its flexibility and ease of use, but we've also deployed sites using React, NextJS, Django, and more. We prioritize performance, SEO, accessibility, and modularity. Our QA process is meticulous: your site will work everywhere, load fast, and scale easily. We also install tools like MarkupMode, allowing your team to request content edits directly from the live site post-launch. Your site isn't just built. It's engineered.

Our revision process is built for efficiency and empowerment. You'll have 10 days to request changes via Figma and, once live, through our own MarkupMode interface. We treat this phase as the final layer of polish, with no detail too small. We train your team, deliver documentation, and remain on standby for further optimization. Your new site won't just look better. It'll work harder. And you'll have full control moving forward.

UX isn't a buzzword. It's the north star. Every click, swipe, and scroll is crafted to move users through your content effortlessly. We design intuitive paths and clear structures, ensuring users feel in control from homepage to CTA.

Technical SEO is built in from the ground up. Clean code, proper heading structure, metadata, and strategic content planning ensure your site is ready to rank. We don't guarantee #1, but we build like we expect it.

Speed is a conversion factor. We optimize every asset and interaction to make your site load fast, feel fluid, and function perfectly on every device. No bloated code, no unnecessary plugins. Just precision.

Inclusivity matters. Your site will meet ADA compliance standards, ensuring usability for visitors of all abilities. This isn't optional. It's foundational to modern design.

We code to W3C standards to ensure longevity, consistency, and interoperability. That means fewer bugs, better SEO, and smoother future updates.

If location matters, we optimize accordingly. Structured data, localized content, and platform integrations help your business stand out in local search results.

We don't just capture leads. We engineer the funnel. From flexible Zapier integrations to custom forms, your website becomes a seamless entry point into your sales or marketing workflows.

Data is only helpful if it's accurate and actionable. We install advanced tracking setups (Google Analytics, Tag Manager, event tracking) so you know exactly how your site is performing.

Mobile, tablet, desktop: your site adapts perfectly. We test across devices and screen sizes, ensuring your message lands beautifully no matter where it's seen.

We build on secure foundations with SSL, firewalls, bot protection, and regular updates. Your website stays protected, and your users stay confident.

You'll have full administrative control, no gatekeeping. We build custom dashboards where needed and train your team to manage content with confidence.

Need your site to talk to Salesforce, Mailchimp, HubSpot, or something custom? We integrate platforms intelligently, laying the foundation for growth.

We offer optional ongoing support plans to keep your site updated, secure, and performing at its best. Think of us as your on-call web team. Pair with our managed hosting for a complete solution.

Our sites aren't just built for today. They're ready for whatever's next. Modular code, scalable infrastructure, and design systems that evolve as your brand grows.
