Our process involves six main stages: Discovery, Planning, Design, Development, Testing, and Launch. During Discovery, we gather requirements and understand your goals. In Planning, we create a project timeline and sitemap. The Design phase involves creating mockups and getting your feedback. Development includes coding and content integration. Testing ensures everything works flawlessly. Finally, we Launch the site and offer post-launch support.

To ensure the project stays on schedule, we set clear milestones and deadlines at the beginning of the project. Regular check-ins and progress updates keep everyone informed. We use project management tools to track tasks and timelines. Client feedback is crucial; timely responses help avoid delays. If any issues arise, we address them promptly and adjust the timeline if necessary, ensuring transparency and effective communication throughout the process.

To start the website build process, we need information about your business goals, target audience, branding guidelines, and content requirements. Details about any specific features or functionality you want are essential. Access to existing brand assets like logos, images, and any current website content is helpful. Additionally, examples of websites you like can provide insight into your design preferences. This information helps us create a tailored, effective design for your business.

The timeline for completing a website project typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity and size of the site. This includes phases such as discovery, planning, design, development, testing, and launch. Clear communication and prompt feedback during each phase can help ensure the project stays on schedule. Custom features or extensive revisions may extend this timeline.

We also provide colour schemes, fonts, UI components, and, if needed, logo design. We work with supplied images & illustrations and can recommend a photographer for images required of your premises, team or products. Each asset is selected to ensure consistency across your website, enhancing user experience and visual appeal. We work closely with you to ensure these assets align with your brand identity and marketing goals.

We welcome clients to provide their own assets if they have specific materials they want to use. This can include images, logos, icons, and other graphics. We will integrate these assets seamlessly into your website design, ensuring they align with the overall aesthetic and functionality. If any adjustments or optimisations are needed for web compatibility, we will also handle those.

We optimise all assets to ensure they load quickly and maintain high quality on all devices. This involves compressing images without losing quality, using vector graphics where possible, and selecting the appropriate file formats. We also consider responsive design principles, ensuring assets look great on both desktop and mobile devices. Our goal is to enhance user experience while minimising load times and improving site performance.

We accept a wide range of file formats for design assets, including but not limited to JPEG, PNG, SVG, AI, and EPS. If you have specific file format requirements, feel free to discuss them with us.
