This makes us an extremely flexible and agile agency ready to take on projects large or small.

Our Website Process

Phase 1 – Design
Drawing from your requirements, the design of the website is created in Photoshop by one of our designers. We’ll work closely with you during this phase, exchanging ideas until we arrive at the final design for your website. Factors such as the organisation’s brand and target audience play a key part in developing the overall visual style of the site.

By the end of this first stage, we deliver the design of the website and all subsequent pages in PDF format to be signed off.

Phase 2 – Development
During this phase, the graphic elements from the final prototype are used to develop a digital version of the approved PDF design.

You will receive a testing link to view the ongoing design & development and a framework for the website’s operation on our staging server.

Phase 3 – Population
This is the phase in which the website functionality is developed and content populated as outlined in the proposal.

For Ecommerce websites, this means adding products and set up of shipping and payment capabilities. In the case of website redesigns, content may be sourced from the previous site where applicable. If copywriting or new content is required, this will also be developed at this stage.

Phase 4 – Testing & Launch
Before site launch, testing will be carried out in staging in order to ensure that the site functions as per requirements, as well as testing for website interoperability and mobile/browser considerations. In the cases where search engine optimisation is required, this will also be performed during this phase.
