Description
Having a great looking website is only half the job. We ensure that our web designs are translated to pixel perfect code and provide a captivating experience across all platforms.

Digital design with a purpose:
Implementation of a brand's website can be make or break. Our comprehensive web design and development approach will ensure we understand your brand so that we can channel it across a variety of different online platforms. Our focus is on a website that provides a human experience people enjoy interacting with, regardless of how well versed they are with technology.

How we manage web projects, big and small:
Web design is difficult, web development is difficult, but managing a web project shouldn't be. Our process is concise, but comprehensive, allowing you to understand what it is we're doing and how it benefits you and your website.

Stage 01. For the user, not just their screen:
Over a third of all internet traffic now takes place on portable devices and we think it is absolutely essential to provide your users with an intelligent, effortless experience.
We make sure that your website is a joy to use and work with on mobile, not only that it is responsive.

Stage 02. Built on WordPress:
We custom build all our sites on WordPress or Native. We use the style guides, the wireframes and visuals we have produced to build a pixel perfect website. We don't use themes.

Stage 03. eCommerce:
We make taking your shop online a breeze, and easily updated by you. Using WooCommerce we build your beautifully designed web shop into a powerful online marketplace. Integrations such as Stripe, PayPal and Apple Pay allow your customers to pay you in their preferred way.

Stage 04. Website Hosting:
Web Hosting is a server where your website is stored for people to access. We have a dedicated hosting partner that provides 99.99% uptime with lightning fast access speeds. We ensure that your website loads quickly and efficiently.

Description
A brand is more than simply a logo, it is a complete system used to communicate to your audience who you are and things that you do. People interact with brands in a multitude of different ways, across digital and traditional mediums. We can help you create and tailor those experiences.

Developing an identity:
Our branding process is focussed around understanding your company and your people. It's a super straightforward exercise which we've refined through our experience and expertise. We cut out all the distractions and get to the heart of your personality, developing a brand or set of brand systems which perfectly reflects who you are.

How a brand project works:
Undertaking a branding project, or a rebrand, is a big commitment and it can even be quite daunting. We like to think our brand design process is straight forward and a joy to manage. There's no long corporate workshops or boring questionnaires that barely scratch the surface. Instead we focus on conversation, usually over a coffee or a beer.

Stage 01. Discovery:
Discovery is the single most important stage of the process. It is where we learn about your company culture, what your goals are and your competitors.

Stage 02. Response :
We use the research and feedback from the discovery to help mould and influence our responses. You are provided with different options, all taking a slightly different route to your end goal.

Stage 03. Refinement:
From the rough outlines of the responses we develop a refined concept. We gather further feedback to help shape the concept, injecting some colour and subtle delightful features along the way.

Stage 04. Systems:
Your brand is strongest when supported by the right forms of collateral. We explore ways to extend your brand and the personality it encapsulates, through bespoke iconography, tone of voice and photography.

Stage 05. Execution:
We'll help you roll out the brand across different mediums and platforms. We'll help you maximise audience interaction and awareness, through offline and online campaigns.

Description
Launch your startup.
Great startups all have high quality brands and websites which they use as leverage to reach their goals. We build brands and websites for startups that are looking to grow, gain investment or build towards an exit.

Guiding you through:
As a startup, working with an agency can sometimes be tough. You have a vision and objectives, which need to be met, and you're not totally sure how to communicate these ideas. Fortunately we've got bundles of experience working with startups! Our comprehensive, but surprisingly straightforward, process allows us to ask the questions that lead to achieving your goals.

How we work with startups:
When you're working with an agency, as a startup, the relationship you build can either last for the duration of your business or it can fizzle out quickly. We're proud to say that every startup we have worked with in the past, we are still working with to this day. We attribute a lot of this to our easy to understand, but comprehensive approach to your project.

Stage 01 -> Introduction:
We take a lot of time to listen to you and your team about who you are, what you're trying to do and why you are doing it. We like to grab coffees and beers and kickstart our relationship with you.

Stage 02 -> Discovery:
To understand the goals you're trying to achieve, we ask the right questions. Whether you're looking to build for growth, investment or for an exit, we utilise an open dialogue to help set objectives for projects.

Stage 03 -> Simple, effective communication:
As an agency we make use of lots of technology. We believe in simple and straight forward talking, that's why we implement a private Slack channel for every project and you are able to communicate directly with your creative, digital or accounts director. Keeping you in control and in the loop.

Stage 04 -> A super concise and effective design process:
We involve you at every step of the way and explain all of our design decisions to you. We want you to understand why we feel our approach is the best for you and we want you to believe in that approach too.
Whilst we're developing your new website you'll be able to keep up with the progress via a private subdomain allowing for a comprehensive feedback service.

Stage 05 -> Commercially minded, post launch relationship:
After the project is complete we don't just say goodbye, we work with you to help push your startup into the right channels. We want to see you grow and succeed, so we tailor make commercial strategies to suit your brand.

Description
A user’s experience defines how they perceive a platform or application. Whether it’s on the web or on a mobile device, careful consideration of every detail is vital.

Intuitive design, enjoyable experiences:
A user’s experience defines how they perceive a platform or application. Whether it’s on the web or on a mobile device, careful consideration of every detail is vital. From micro-interactions to transitions, sweating the details allows you to ensure your user feels empowered and at ease using your product.

Creating a powerful but useable interface:
Something that takes a long time to complete doesn’t get completed. If it takes you ten steps on one app to complete an action and four on another which would you choose? Providing tools is one half of the challenge and providing them so the user can complete the task efficiently is the other half.

Stage 01 -> Competitive Analysis:
We will look at how others have solved similar problems, so not to reinvent the wheel. We take what we find and put it to use when considering the initial visuals.

Stage 02 -> Brainstorm & Wireframe:
Initial ideas and opinions are discussed and different directions explored in order to accomplish the goal set by you.

Stage 03 -> Red Routes:
Red routes are the paths that your user takes to complete the vital tasks your product provides. We work with you to build user stories, in order to implement the most intuitive and empowering routes to achieving the important stuff.

Stage 04 -> Client Feedback:
Getting feedback and opinions from you, the client, on how you feel the website should work is crucial to building a user experience that is simple yet powerful.

Stage 05 -> Build & Develop:
We use the style guides, the wireframes and visuals we have produced to build a pixel perfect application. We incorporate micro-interactions and transitional effects to give the user a sense of progression and speed.

Stage 06 -> Responsiveness:
We define how the application will display on each size screen. This ensures good user experience across a variety of screen sizes and devices.
