Our Process
Having an established process is important. It ensures a greater chance of success no matter how different the needs, styles or restrictions are for a project. Our process seeks first to establish the absolutes before narrowing in on the relative elements. The final result should be a perfect blend of your needs, your wants, our skills, and cutting-edge modern technologies.

Discovery
Before we dig into the details of the project, we seek to establish a general understanding of the scope of the project and the needs of your business, so we can determine how best to accomplish your goals. While we might not become experts at what you do, we do strive to gain enough of an understanding so that we can best meet your needs for your website or web application.
Once we’ve become familiar with your business, we will start to narrow in on the knowns and unknowns of your project: are there specific requirements, certain pre-existing materials that need to be included, or anything that you want to avoid from the start?
Wireframes are usually the last step of the discovery phase where we rough out the structure of your website or app in a way that shows the user flow and general layout without narrowing in any specific design elements such as colors or styles.
Design
Once the first draft is completed we will work back and forth to narrow in on exactly what is wanted before the design is approved. During this phase we will often request various media such as the logo (if one exists prior), photos, existing print materials, etc. Once the design is approved it’s time to begin developing the site itself.
Develop
The development phase is when we will require the site’s written content as well as further details as we work through setting up each page on the site or app. When this is completed we will have a fully functional site that is mobile friendly and compatible in all major browsers.
Deploy
Once testing is completed and the site is fully approved we will run full backups of any existing material and the new site and then move it into place so it is publicly accessible. After we’ve gone live we will run through the site again to make sure there are no issues that arose from moving it to a live environment.
