Our Process

1.

Discovery

To kick things off we start with a discovery session so we can learn more about your business and what you’re trying to achieve with your new website.

2.

Wireframing

We’ll create the structure for the whole site in wireframes to establish the flow of the website and how we’ll present your product or service to best achieve your goals.

High-fidelity designs

Next, we’ll turn these wireframes into fully polished designs. At this point you’ll be able to see what the finished website will look like.

Development

Once you’re completely happy with the design we’ll build it in your desired CMS or web framework, making it super easy to update.

Launch & training

We’ll help you set up an account with your desired CMS provider or deployment solution before transferring the website to you. Once it’s transferred we’ll then train you in how to use the site so you can easily manage it yourself.
