The Process

Initial Meeting

Our initial talk will go into the depths of your business, getting to the heart of what you want to achieve. We will ask about your ideal customer, what problem(s) your trying to solve, how best to deliver your service or product.  Now is not the time to hold back.

Content

During this stage we’ll ask for your content and any branding material. We will need this information before we can begin the design process as it is very crucial. If you are starting from scratch, we can help prepare this with worksheets and interviews. Still stuck, we can write it for you. You’ll have full editorial options.

Design

This is where all of the research and planning come together. This is the fun part! Our user-focused approach, along with the latest, modern design trends, is based on the research and design brief. This process requires both of us as your content, brand materials, and feedback are crucial.

Beta

No matter how much planning we do or how perfect the content, when you finally see the product, it will still require fine-tuning and refinement.
