Let's Take You Through Our Process

If you ask us, managing complex creative and website projects is an art in itself. Here's a general overview of how we take projects from concept to launch.

Step One: Discovery

Learning Your Content, Goals, & Challenges

We start by understanding your vision, identifying key goals, and addressing challenges. Through one-on-one discussions with you or key staff, we gather the information, files, and direction needed to move forward. For website refresh projects, we’ll also coordinate with your current web service provider to secure access to your site or server.

Step Two: Study & Plan

A Pragmatic Approach for Success

Our team researches your audience and competitors to create a detailed roadmap that ensures your website achieves its purpose. Key deliverables at this stage include a digital footprint analysis and a comprehensive website development plan.

Step Three: Build & Design

Blending Style & Accessible Functionality

We bring your vision to life with a custom design that balances style and accessible functionality. This process typically takes three to six weeks, depending on the complexity of your project, and ensures your site is both stunning and user-friendly.

Step Four: Launch

Publishing to the World Wide Web

After rigorous testing and your approval, we confidently launch your website, making it live for the world to explore. For clients with hosting and support agreements, we’ll also register your site with search engines like Google and Bing, submit an XML sitemap, and set up any necessary 301 redirects.
