About

Web design process

We make the web design process straightforward. Here’s how it works.

  1. We help you plan your site and organise your content.
  2. We design its architecture and user interface, creating detailed mockups that show you exactly how the finished site will look.
  3. We develop the code that makes the whole thing work, turning the approved designs into functioning pages you can edit.
  4. We keep on testing all the way through the process, making sure the site is accessible, and displays properly on all kinds of browsers and devices.
  5. When everyone is happy with the results, we press the launch button and your site is live.
