Research
We research your business requirements, come up with initial ideas, identify competitors and so on…
Time scale Estimates
Based upon the brief, we estimate the time involved to complete the project. This includes a full cost proposal, project plan and site plan.
Information Architecture
How the site will navigate and how the information on the site will be organised is decided upon. This is based on the site plan outlined in the previous stage.

A mock up for the look and feel of the site is produced. This design is then refined in an iterative process until the final design is agreed upon.
Production
The final design is then built based upon the mock ups from the previous stage.
