The Process

Research & planning

It is vital to obtain a set of achievable objectives before starting each project. Meetings are arranged with clients to discuss target audience, deadlines, expected functionality and future developments.

Design

Bespoke digital drafts are created to match the proposed look of the site. Drafts are refined until the client is happy with layouts and colours. Regular live updates are provided to review drafts, allowing accurate feedback and meticulous refinements.

Development & build

Once a draft has been approved it is then built into XHTML & CSS. The system is then installed and skinned with additional modules and extensions. Custom solutions are created and integrated into the system giving it the desired level of interactivity and control.

Test & make live

The project is then set up and tested within a system framework and the initial content added. All systems produced include an intuitive content management feature which allows clients to manage content themselves with the option of ongoing support.
