Initiation

It is fundamental to a project’s success that we understand your business. It starts with a kick-off meeting. We know not everyone likes meetings, but this one is important. We'll help you sharpen your focus and goals, and you'll help us ensure that your project is successful.

Information Architecture

Great websites don't happen in a flash of inspiration. They're the result of considering different concepts, working through them, and then revising them. We present these concepts as wireframes, sitemaps, and user flows. This lets us quickly propose ideas without wasting time.

Visual Design

Having defined the project, we create design mock-ups of your site that clearly illustrate what you can expect in the finished product. Your feedback & comments on these designs are incorporated into revised designs, normally within a week. Our goal is to keep things moving; making sure we produce even better results than you hired us for.

Develop

Following the style guides set forth in the design stage, we develop the site in semantic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript while observing usability and SEO best practices for a fast, robust, and future-proof site. Throughout this phase, you will be able to check progress on a staging server, and offer feedback.

Deploy

We check our work against our 22-step quality assurance checklist, making sure it looks its best on the current and previous version of all major desktop browsers, and a wide range of popular mobile devices. After the bugs have been squashed, and you've signed off, we deploy your site for its public debut.

Revise

For a project to be truly successful, it should always be a work in progress. After your project is launched, we will evaluate and recommend enhancements to build on the success of your project, maximizing your ROI.
