We create intuitive, updateable websites with clean lines, one by one. Websites that work take a relationship--we eat meals at our clients’ restaurants and drink wine with them in our backyard--with trust and rapport. We ask a lot of questions and listen, listen, listen.

Our website design process is essentially five stages:

1. Planning
2. Design
3. Production
4. Launch
5. Upkeep

Planning

The planning phase of a website design begins when you contact us. We will initially ask you to fill out a Client Survey. After the reading over your survey, we may have a few clarifying questions. Then, we’ll have an estimate to you within a week. When we have finalized these details of working together, we’ll get you started on in our project area, where you can see all of your milestones and the progress of your project. At this time, you can begin sending us any content you’d like on the site. Also, we will make sure that your domain name and website hosting are set up, if they are not already. Finally, we’ll begin planning your site outline, sending you a site map for approval.

Design

Once we have all of your content and the planning is finished, we’ll begin working on design, which includes mock-up rounds and revisions. Together, we’ll dream, think, talk, plan, tinker and design until we have a concept that has a pulse, a life of its own.

Our projects usually go through 2 rounds of mock-ups. Our first phase of mockups concentrates on general concepts and content placement. We’ll usually present 2 or 3 ideas at this point. After we receive feedback from you, we refine those ideas into a single, comprehensive design. This is the time for experimentation! As Frank Lloyd Wright noted, “You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.”

Production

Once we agree on a look and feel for your site, we’ll move into a production phase. Here, we create your website using a variety of technologies. Throughout production, we’ll post iterations so that you can follow along with the work.

Launch

Site launch includes testing on supported browsers and then launch of your website.

Upkeep

Once your website is launched online, our involvement with your site is entirely up to you. We enjoy the process of helping your site grow with your business. Although we will do site updates, if you have us create an updateable website, you won’t need us for that! You can update your site yourself without our help or additional charges.
