Many inexperienced “firms” makes the mistake of developing their websites and web applications without really knowing how things need to work at the end and missing key elements ranging from a “simple missing checkbox” to entire screens within a website or application’s workflow can mean the failure or success of a project and will cost either the developers or the clients valuable time and money – generally both.

Our process starts with us gathering all requirements and assets and then creating “static prototypes” for the client to review before we go into formal development. What this means is that, no matter if we’re designing your website or a full-on investment analysis engine, you know screen-by-screen and click-by-click how your website or application will look and work, especially when it comes to how it translates across different devices, screen-sizes, and operating systems.

This is an ideal scenario because it allows our designers and developers to coordinate their understanding with your requirements in a safe visual sandbox where you, the client, can literally move anything around or make any necessary changes without costing time and money by waiting until the project is in formal development. This step also gives the client the opportunity to possibly discover things that weren’t originally defined or discussed that might have needed to be included in the project.

The deliverables, at this point, usually come in the form of Photoshop .PSD files that are extremely easy to share and annotate amongst your staff and decision-makers so that we can get a formal sign-off on every pixel of your project.

Once we’ve completed this, it’s about as efficient as can possibly be to complete a perfect final project development.
