Steps to Success

Our Process

1

Discovery

The first step is to build our relationship and fully explore the vision for your company. From that we build an intentional design that highlights was the company offer and is all about. It is about solving problems for our clients. This phase we create a solid plan to provide the best possible web platform that will work best for our client and their customers.

Content Wireframes

Page wireframes are created for all pages. We use Balsamiq HQ to create sketch type layouts of how your content can be organized on your website. This is an essential part of the website development process as it prioritizes your content on your website. Page wireframes gets the ball rolling and sets the “blueprint” of the entire project before the designs are created.

Design Comps

Designs for all pages created in Adobe XD and provided in PDF format. We custom design all our web design projects and do not use pre-designed templates. This gives you a custom look for your website and allows the site to look exactly how you need it to look. Typically, multiple versions of the website homepage are provided and then we combine all the best features of the designs provided into one main design.

Current Knowledge and Experience:

WordPress

The platform that got us started! We have branched out in the past few years but nothing is more flexible and used as WP. The Swiss Army Knife of CMS’s and we I know this inside and out. I am 100% confident fixing any issue related to this PHP based CMS with using page-builders or plugins.

Shopify

I currently design and develop Shopify sites using an in-house developed custom liquid framework that is lightweight and versatile.

Tailwind.css

The best thing to happen to front-end development in the past year. I use this utility CSS code base on all my projects if possible to speed up development, keeping everything organized and lightweight.

Main List of Languages and platforms I can work with:

  • Vanilla Javascript – I try to keep all development to the basics without need for jQuery if possible.
  • CSS – I have work with CSS for 15 years and know what the “cascade” in CSS means : )
  • Node.js – Used for all development
