design process



A successful project is one that follows budgetary and scheduling elements, as well as delivers a finished product that completely meets all your goals and objectives. For the purpose of coordination and communication, we talk to clients throughout the project as often as possible via email, messenger, phone or in-person - with progress reports and status updates of any change requests. By following the process laid out below, the projects we take on are not only successful when they’re finished, but are also successful as they’re being developed.

Phase 1 – Data Gathering

The aim of our research is to articulate a direction in which to proceed for the project. by analyzing your objectives, needs, competition, current branding, and customers, we can define a strategy for moving forward. This is turned into a short, to-the-point specifications document which lays out the creative, functional, technical, and budgetary requirements for the solution.

Phase 2 – Brain Storming

Our core strength is translating all of your ideas into an intelligent and unique visual concept. This takes into account all the information collected in the research phase, as well as the standards set out for how the site will function. Once the concept is complete, we present it to you for feedback, and then make final modifications. we do not move forward until we know that you are 100% happy with the look of the site.

Phase 3 - Implementation

When you sign off on the final concept, we then take the visual design and start developing it into a functional website. We hand-code all our developments and ensure they are wholly compliant with web standards. If the project has a backend component, we work with your technology team or our technology partners to integrate the front-end with the backend.

Phase 4 – Gauntlet

Our team of usability, functionality and code quality assurance testers see to it that everything is in perfect order, functions as planned and will ultimately meet your standards and expectations. The site and/or application is subjected to tests, re-tests and more tests to make sure that considerations such as performance, load, usability, version and platform compatibility, efficiency and functionality are taken into account.

Phase 5 – Launch

After testing is complete, we launch the project in the live environment (which is quite exciting). We run though the final solution once more and ask you to do the same, so that we can be absolutely certain that everything works the way it should in its new live location. then it’s time to celebrate, because you now have a website or web application that looks professional and works the way you (and more importantly, your customers) want it to work.
