How does your process ensure that I like the design?

Our design team will work closely with you to make sure that we’re on the same page from the very beginning. We may request inspiration images, colors, or competitor websites to help us. We may also go through a more formal mood boarding process, or an even-more-thorough brand exercise, to help us identify your style. Then we’ll present you with multiple design iterations based on this research of your preferences, so we are unlikely to veer too far from something you like by the time it’s time for a final sign-off.

Do I need to have branding before you design my website?

Although it’s helpful, it’s not always necessary. In fact, helping you define and refine your brand is one of our specialties, and we are happy to do that work with you before or alongside web design.

What makes web design “intuitive?”

Intuitive design predicts needs: it does what people expect it to do when they expect to do it, without them having to think about it. We apply this to web design in places where users most expect action and where they expect to find information, using UX research, years of experience, and common sense to ensure that your website does what users expect, when they expect it, without them even thinking about it.

Future-forward web design that attracts and converts

Whether you need a brochure or enterprise-level website, eCommerce, or other digital solution, our web design is intuitive, accessible, and true to your brand.

Make your first impression stand out with great web design

Websites have replaced business cards, office buildings, storefronts, and conferences in many industries as to how or where you meet your market, customers, business partners, and competitors. And since it takes less than a second for users to form an opinion about your website (and, therefore your business), our designers work hard to make that first impression really count.

Intuitive design that’s conversion-optimized

Beautiful web design that removes conversion barriers for users to interact with your business website in a way that they won’t have to think about.

Accessible web design: for every user every time

We follow the latest web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) to ensure that our design for your website is ADA-compliant and reaches as many people as possible.

Strategic, user-centered design process

Well-designed websites tell the story of who you are to your audience, and exceptionally-designed websites keep users coming back for more. Collaboration is imperative to designing an exceptional website. That’s why we work closely with you every step of the way, keeping your users’ experiences and business goals as the focal point of each design element.

01. Discovery & research

We’ll kick off your project with a team discovery meeting to help us better understand your industry, competitors, and user needs. Using the latest analytics and data, we collaborate with key stakeholders to learn more about your business, brand, digital strategy, desired interactions and functions, typical user behaviors, and the overarching “look and feel” you envision for your project.

02. Information architecture & strategy

We use the knowledge gained during discovery and stakeholder interviews to build the structure of your website, also known as its information architecture, to best meet your needs. We use a detailed sitemap and series of wireframes to visually represent your website’s information architecture. The sitemap and wireframes allow us to collaborate on page flow, hierarchy, and interactions from a shared understanding of the page template and how each page fits into the body of your website.

03. Style & branding

Your website is more than just an address: it reflects who you are and should showcase your personality. To help us do this, we use branding workshops to guide the creation of two unique mood boards. Each mood board will reflect a different brand aesthetic from which you can choose, providing the overall “look and feel” of your new website.

04. High-fidelity designs

Once we establish your website’s brand aesthetic, we’ll create detailed page layouts or templates that incorporate your fresh design within the information architecture we created earlier. These high-fidelity (or hi-fi) designs allow you to truly visualize how your website will look. We can also assist in curating and arranging images and illustrations that fit your brand. We design using best practices, building atomic design systems that save time and simplify future changes.
