We begin by immersing ourselves in your brand. We want to understand your brand's personality, tone, and visual identity. This information guides our design process, ensuring that the final website reflects your brand accurately and consistently. We also involve you in every step of the design process, seeking your feedback and approval to ensure alignment with your brand's vision.

Website security and speed optimization are paramount in our design and development process. We aim to build websites that load in less than 3 seconds, providing a good user experience and helping with SEO. We always include SSL certificates for security, and can implement additional security measures as needed, like .htaccess additions and security plugins.

There are different considerations depending on the type of technology used and what the intended scaling factors are. We generally have three types of host that we pick between:

For custom software and sites with advanced functionality we have used Digital Ocean for dedicated servers for many years and love their combination of reliability, modern server technology and great support when needed (although they're self managed).

For Nocode websites we like the Webflow platform which uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its hosting backbone.

For Jamstack websites we're big fans of Netlify and Vercel.

Absolutely, we believe that you should have the ability to update your own website content. We do believe in constraining layout editing within the confines of a tight agreed upon design system, to be sure that elements and layouts are consistent and no website breakages can occur via the CMS. We typically build websites on user-friendly content management systems that allow you to easily make updates and keep your website fresh with new content, with the safety of being able to roll back changes to earlier versions if needed. We provide training on how to use the CMS post-launch.

We typically favor the popular CMS systems Sanity, Webflow and Laravel Nova.

Yes, Google Analytics is a critical tool for understanding website performance. We not only install and configure Google Analytics but also set up basic event tracking, such as contact form submissions. However, we will require a Google login owned by your organization to install analytics, ensuring that you retain full access and control over your data​.

We favor three different frameworks for websites, depending on scope.

• Webflow for marketing websites.
• Shopify with Nuxt JS (jamstack) for e-commerce websites.
• Laravel for web applications.

Beyond this, we've used WordPress and other frameworks for many years and we can adapt to your specific requirements, with the exception of .NET or Java development.
