Research & Discovery
R&D allows us to shape the project expectations by mutually understanding the start and finish lines, outlining limitations against requirements and defining the goal-posts to ensure the project’s success for both the near and far future. Within this phase is where we benchmark against your competitors and the wider landscape of the industry, set horizons and developmental growth milestones, to ensure the foundations of the website are set up to grow and be flexible to the changing needs of your business - part of this is to ensure all wireframes are functional for present and future. We benchmark against reference websites to align design tastes, technological requirements and user interface decisions.

Content Direction & Strategy
We pride ourselves on our highly creative approach to problem-solving by finding innovative solutions to ensure that not only is your content optimised for engagement but it meets the wider aesthetic of the brand from a holistic performance perspective. With a client-centric approach to strategy, we collaboratively produce an informed content direction, designed to push the possibilities of growth and outreach - during this phase, the wider digital approach and aesthetic for all other online channels are considered and refined to ensure cohesive customer communications during all touch points. Every brand is unique, by defining what sets you apart, we can collaboratively generate a long-lasting, distinctive digital identity through the use of imagery, copywriting and interactive elements to construct a comprehensive and consistent personality across all your digital platforms.

User Experience
Building dynamic experiences is at the core of what we do. We ensure everything we create is not only functional and meets the aesthetic of your brand but also excedes the expectations of the customer and provides a valuable experience across every touch point through considered information architecture and intuitive user pathways. User experience is the foundational key step in ensuring an unparalleled customer experience and influencing your return customer rate and word-of-mouth marketing. For us, UX is an ongoing process that starts in the early conception of a project and never stops. Continuous refinement based on feedback and data-led insights ensures that all flows, channels, and touchpoints within your funnel are continuously aligned, this iterative approach ensures that the user experience remains aligned with the needs of the target audience and meets their expectations.

User Interface
Execution and aesthetics exist in harmony for us; if it’s not functional it’s not beautiful, and vice versa. Designing and constructing accessible, engaging and informed interfaces that optimise communication and conversions is at the heart of what we do. Crafting memorable user interfaces visually aligned to the aesthetic, feel and personality of the brand, honing in on a true-to-brand user experience to ensure a performance-orientated approach for optimised user accessibility, conversion optimisation and engagement is at the core of what we do. The implementation of the visual identity to not only the website interface but all digital touchpoints throughout the user journey is foundational to the customers' innate understanding, emotion and loyalty to your brand.

Ventures
If an attractive enough opportunity arrises we offer an equity-for-service model where our compensation is replaced by co-ownership of the project we are working on.
For opportunities with excellent potential but limitations in its resourcing, we may forgo our usual monetary compensation in exchange for an ownership stake in the success of the project.
We only offer this for projects with potentials we consider highly motivating as to warrant onboarding the risks associated with the project alongside operators that we can forsee an excellent working relationship with, creating a more collaborative and mutually beneficial project with greater potential from our involvement.
If you have an idea but don't know where to start, please get in touch.
