Our Process

OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Our development process is broken into 6 distinct steps with nested child milestones to offer full transparency into our workflow. Together we can achieve the best outcome through effective collaboration and agile methodology.

RESEARCH

We start every project by conducting research to find trends and begin to understand how your platform will be used. This first phase will focus on defining UI/UX elements and providing a map for comprehensive customer experience. Our main goal is to understand your customer base and how they are looking to interact with your platform.

Deliverables:

Current trend analysis
Site map suggestions
Internal survey findings
Documentation of functionality

DESIGN

The design phase begins with wireframes to define screen flow. After wireframes we move into mobile and desktop high-fidelity design. Our design phase is highly collaborative. This phase is used to ensure we reflect your unique identity.

Deliverables:

Mood board
Wireframes
Desktop designs
Mobile designs
