What we'll do for you

Over the course of the project, our combined teams will work together through a series of project phases.
  • Discovery & Business Analysis

    In the Discovery phase we analyse your business case, your target audience, your competition, your key messaging and any digital historical data if available. We identify KPIs and project goals, clarify technical scope, document user stories and map out the project roadmap.
  • Architecture & Content

    We conduct a content audit and develop your website or application sitemap. We present the pages in the form of interactive wireframes as well as user desired flows. We carry out a Keyword Research exercise that will be the foundation of your SEO strategy.
  • User Experience Design

    Our designs are fully custom and pixel perfect, driven by your brand and the needs of your target audience. We present final design templates that incorporate high quality media assets and offer a tailored and innovative user experience. All designs are scalable and based on a UX style-guide.
  • CMS Configuration

    Configuration of your Content Management System (CMS) and the architectural foundations of your solution. We set up the network and hosting configurations, development environments, user permissions and customized workflows. We build your sitemap, custom data fields, templates, prepare connections to any 3rd party APIs and plan out our content migration strategy.
  • Web & Application Development

    During this phase we will develop the front-end and back-end of your website. We build in the client business logic and application layer of your website. Our developers are continually up to date with the technologies that are required to build cutting edge digital user experiences.
  • Third Party Systems Integrations

    Based on the user stories, technical analysis, data modelling outlined in the Discovery phase, we implement third-party systems integrations based on the project scope. We use ExpressionTM extensible industry leading API to ensure that all systems are connected and operating optimally.

  • CMS & System Training

    The web solution will be built to allow both technical and non-technical users to work on the website simultaneously but with complete independence. We will provide training and guidance on the CMS so that your team can upload content freely.
  • Content Upload & Migration

    We execute content migration and support your team throughout the content upload process. Our QA team stands by to make any corrections / adjustments required as we see the impact of actual content on the website.
  • Quality Assurance Testing

    Once our designers and developers have finished their work, our Quality Assurance team will get to work testing your website’s performance. We use various tools to benchmark your website for loading, responsiveness, speed and ensure that there are no errors or bugs.
  • User Acceptance Testing

    The delivery of the final web solution is dependent on the project adhering to the documented project scope and the successful execution of each of the user stories. Once we receive your acceptance and you are ready to release the website to the public we deploy it on your domain.
  • Solution Deployment

    When replacing an existing website, it is important to ensure a smooth transition, minimizing any potential loss of traffic. To make sure of this, we create the appropriate 301 Redirects, so that URLs from your old website, that have been indexed by search engines or have been linked to from external sites will redirect to your new website.
  • Hosting & Ongoing Support

    Going live is just the start of your website or application’s lifespan and a solid ongoing support relationship is key to ensuring success over the long term. Our team can provide a variety of ongoing support options and / or SLA agreements based on your needs.
