Why Process Matters
We've seen what happens when web projects lack structure: scope creep, missed deadlines, unclear ownership, and products that don't match the original vision. Our 6-step process exists to prevent exactly that — giving clients full visibility at every stage while keeping our team aligned and moving fast.
Step 1: Discovery & Requirements
Every project starts with a structured kick-off: we map your business objectives, target audience, competitive landscape, and technical constraints. We use this phase to surface the questions that kill projects later — what does success look like? Who approves decisions? What integrations are non-negotiable?
Deliverable: a Project Brief document signed off by both parties.
Step 2: Information Architecture & Wireframes
Before a single pixel of design is committed, we map the site's structure, user flows, and content hierarchy. Low-fidelity wireframes let us move quickly and iterate without the cost of changing polished designs.
Deliverable: annotated wireframes in Figma, reviewed and approved by the client.
Step 3: UI/UX Design
With structure agreed, our designers bring the wireframes to life. We build a design system (colours, typography, spacing, component library) before designing individual pages — ensuring consistency and making handoff to development frictionless.
Deliverable: high-fidelity Figma prototype with a linked component library.
Step 4: Development
We work in two-week sprints, shipping working software at the end of each cycle. Our tech stack defaults — Django/Next.js for most web projects — are chosen for performance, developer productivity, and long-term maintainability, not trends.
Code review is mandatory. Every pull request is reviewed by a senior engineer before merging.
Step 5: QA & Testing
Testing isn't a phase at the end — it runs in parallel with development. We write unit and integration tests as we build, and run a dedicated QA cycle before launch covering:
- Cross-browser and cross-device testing (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge; iOS and Android)
- Performance profiling (Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores)
- Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
- Security scan (OWASP Top 10 checklist)
Step 6: Launch & Handover
Launch day isn't the end — it's a milestone. We deploy to production with a rollback plan ready, monitor error rates and performance for 48 hours post-launch, and then hand over full documentation: architecture overview, deployment guide, admin manual, and a recorded walkthrough for your team.
Post-launch support is available as a monthly retainer or on an ad-hoc basis.
