OUR PROCESS

Requirements Gathering

We compile a document of all your needs, expectations and goals. We also study your target market and your top competitors’ sites, and establish a timeline for the completion of the project.

Planning

In order to have the perfect flow and navigation for the end user, we storyboard the entire site and wireframe mock-ups of each page. Once these are signed off on, we move on to development.

Development

Now that we have a complete site guide, we get to work on creating each page, run it through some edits after each review, and make sure the flow and navigation works well for the end user.

Delivery

This is when we make sure the site lives up to everything we have promised, running it through user acceptance testing, double checking all working parts, and then handing it off to the client.
