The Process
Discovery
Design
Development
Deploy
Every project is different, but they follow the same process — Discovery, Design, Development, and Deployment.
During the discovery phase, we discuss the goals of your project and your needs. We also look at your current brand, website, or both and determine what we need to keep and what we need to create. Here is where we talk about scope, cost, and deliverables.
Next, we move onto the design though it's not just about colors and typography. First, we prototype, coming up with brand concepts and wire-framing a website. Once that is complete, we can move on to the fun stuff, the actual look and feel of your brand identity or website.
During the development phase, if we are building you a website, we will hand-code it using the latest web standards and implement a content management system if requested.
Finally, we deploy your brand, website, or both into the wild for all the world to see. However, before we let you go, we will prepare you to use them with style guides and website training.
