Process
Five stages, one steady build.
IDENTITY
Before we build, we get to know you.
Every house needs a foundation. Yours starts with understanding who you are, what you represent, who you’re trying to reach, and what makes you different.
We look at your identity, goals, audience, content, visual direction, and the role your website needs to play in your overall digital presence.
This can include:
- Brand and identity direction
- Business or organization goals
- Audience considerations
- Content and asset review
- Logo and visual asset review
- Existing website evaluation
- Domain and hosting assessment
The result:
A clear understanding of your identity, goals, and what your website needs to accomplish.
VISION
Now we define what your digital home should become.
Your website should have a purpose beyond simply looking good.
We translate your goals into a clear website strategy and digital vision, defining the experience, messaging, structure, and functionality your website needs to connect with your audience and support what you do.
This can include:
- Website goals and strategy
- Site structure
- Page planning
- Content direction
- User experience planning
- Calls-to-action
- Feature and functionality planning
- Visual direction
The result:
A clear vision for how your website should look, feel, and work.
DESIGN BLUEPRINT
Every great website starts with a plan.
The Blueprint turns your vision into the strategic framework for your website.
We map out your pages, content, functionality, integrations, and technical requirements so every part of the website has a purpose before development begins.
This can include:
- Sitemap and page structure
- Website layout planning
- Content organization
- Mobile experience planning
- Feature planning
- Forms and functionality
- Payment or donation systems
- Event calendars
- Analytics
- SEO structure
- Hosting and domain requirements
- Third-party integrations
The result:
A strategic website blueprint that gives the design and development process direction.
