ABOUT US

WE WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS TO CREATE WEBSITES THAT HELP TELL THEIR STORIES, SHOW THEIR PERSONALITIES AND DRIVE CONVERSION

We look to create simple, memorable work that is inspired by both place and culture.

Our process is informed by best practices in the software industry, our experience and we have even borrowed some methods from NASA!

We are web futurists, optimists, cybernauts and all round good guys, and we would love to hear about your next project!

APPROACH

DISCOVER

IDEATE

PROTOTYPE

REFINE

LAUNCH

DISCOVER

Objective for this stage: Identify the problem we are trying to solve, state the requirements that must be met, and clarify the constraints that must be considered.

Deliverable in this phase: Signed off wireframes and site content received from client.

IDEATE

Objective for this stage: Creation of initial design direction and outputs. These are driven by our signed off content, site goals, and user needs.

Deliverable in this phase: Signed off on the design direction so we can move into constructing our prototype website.

PROTOTYPE

Objective for this stage: We start to build our prototype site with our proposed design layouts. We build these the end user in mind.

Deliverable in this phase: Full working prototype of the new website.

REFINE » LAUNCH

Objective for this stage: We transform our strong beta prototype into a fully polished and ready website. This is done by building on our existing front-end coding.

Deliverable in this phase: Published operational redesigned website.
