We Make Websites That Work.
Finding a web designer who can actually build you a good website is harder than it sounds. You could end up chasing a designer who never returns your phone calls, or get stuck paying for a shoddy-looking, slow-loading site that doesn’t rank on search engines at all.
We’re here to take the guesswork out of web design. We build websites that work, look great, won’t cost you an arm and a leg, and actually belong to you; if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place.
Our Web Design Process.
We believe this is what sets us apart from the other web designers: a clear design and development process that keeps you informed every step of the way. We’ve broken our production up into four phases.
PHASE 1 –
Research & Development
We start by having a meeting with you to discuss goals and strategy. We’ll talk about:
- Your expectations for the website
- Where the website’s content will come from
- A framework for the website’s structure
- Logins and access we’ll need to move forward
- A timeline for the completion of each phase
And then we’ll get to work on delivering you:
- Relevant industry and competitor research
- A preliminary sitemap and wireframe of the website for you to approve
PHASE 2 –
Branding & Design
Our goal here is to get your approval on an initial design. We’ll have a meeting to discuss brand guidelines such as:
- Color palette
- Illustrations
- Animations
- Typography
- Media
Then we’ll create a mock-up of some key webpages so you can see what it would look like, and have us make any changes you’d like to see before we move on.
PHASE 3 –
Front-End Development
Once we agree on the design, we’ll start creating the fully-functional Demo Site. This will include:
- Building out all of the webpages in the sitemap based on the approved design
- Incorporating all written content
- Adding in all necessary images and media
- Testing all site functionality, such as links, buttons, and integrations
We’ll then send you special access to view and interact with the Demo Site, to make sure the fully-realized site looks and feels exactly how you want it.
PHASE 4 –
Final Staging & Launch
Once you approve the site, we’ll set an official “Go Live” date, and go through our final testing:
- Testing the site on different browsers and screen sizes
- Making sure the Mobile version works perfectly
- Integrating payment info into POS systems, if necessary
We’ll then transfer full ownership of the website to you, and launch the completed site!

Choosing a Video Host: YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia?
Your business now has a professionally filmed and edited video, but… where do you host it? Determining the most appropriate site is sometimes more problematic than actually producing it in the first place.
Optimizing Your Brand’s Content on Facebook
A 33% drop in organic reach is pretty dramatic, but does this mean that business pages are doomed? To better understand how to adapt to the new News Feed algorithm, we need to breakdown what Facebook considers a “meaningful interaction.”
Recording & Mixing Audio for Mobile Devices
The mysteries of mixing and mastering probably don’t matter to you so long as it sounds good. However, if you’re in the market of producing audio-centric content—like vlogs or podcasts—you should care a lot.
