Needs Analysis
The beginning...
The very first thing we do is getting to know you and what your business is about. We then take a look at what you are after by way of a web solution that is going to deliver to your needs. We do this without any presumptions on what they exactly will be just yet. Right now we are wanting to simply understand what we have to do for you.

Design and Customisation
Central to the design of your new website web will be driven by the structure of information to be shared with the world through your internet presence. A key factor that also comes into play is understanding your mark positioning and branding.
All these factors are taken into account in designing your new website - the look and feel, how visitors will navigate to different information, what actions we will lead them to and what features and functionality will be incorporated into the design of the website.
We take everything gathered and develop a clear and actionable strategy, presenting the overall architecture through user cases, solutions design, wireframes, business processes and functional design concepts.
