Why custom website design?
Custom websites offer almost limitless design and development possibilities. This means our web development company has the freedom to tailor your website to exactly what you need. What’s more, because we have so much creative freedom, we can really make your website stand out from the crowd. With a custom website, the sky's the limit!
How can we help?
We love creating websites that connect with people in the right way. It’s all about making sure your website is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a joy to use. When done right, your website can really raise the stakes for your business; you’ve just got to find the right web development company (that’s us!). We’ll help you devise the best website strategy to help you meet your business objectives.
Our custom website process
UX design
We kick off our projects with a user experience (UX) design phase. Good UX is all about creating enjoyable experiences that meet your customer’s needs. To get this right, we start by developing a foolproof UX strategy. The goal is to get the right insights so we know how we can make your customers happy. After all, happy customers are great for business!
The UX design phase can include items like customer research, wireframing, and user testing. But since each project is different, we like to tailor the UX process to your particular needs. Whichever UX avenue we decide to pursue, the end goal is to create a user experience that is enjoyable and intuitive. Take a look at more of our website design company’s UX services here.
Mood board
With the UX phase done and dusted, we can get to work on a bit of eye candy. We start by putting together a “mood board”. This is basically a digital collage filled to the brim with inspiration that will help to guide the design of your website. We grab things like images, typography, colours, and animation from a whole host of sources to show you various aesthetic styles. Mood boards are a great way, not only to get your creative juices flowing, but also to make sure that everyone is happy with the proposed design direction.
As a website design company, it’s our job to keep an eye on what’s hot and what’s not in the world of web design trends. However, we are certainly not slaves to these trends, and only design according to a trend if it will speak to your target users, and will stand the test of time. The mood board gives us the opportunity to show you what trends are out there, and how they could be used to enhance your brand.
UI design
This is where the magic happens. After all the research and planning, we take our ideas and transform them into a beautiful and user-friendly user interface (UI) design. Hello colour, images, fonts, and illustration! With a world-class UI design, your website will be all the more loveable.
An effective UI design process ensures that all design decisions get us one step closer to capturing your brand’s essence, and showing it to the world. We want your UI design to create a user experience that holds your customers’ attention, promotes user engagement, and makes your audience happy.
Our website design company loves to create beautiful, modern interfaces that set companies apart. Depending on the project, we sometimes start the UI design phase by only designing one or two of your web pages. This allows us to get the design style just right, and make sure you’re onboard with the proposed look-and-feel. From there we will start fleshing out the rest of the page designs. Next stop: website success!
Website development
This is where our developers transform the UI design into a working website. We build sites that are easy to maintain, and scale well. This means that your website can grow with you as your business expands, or your processes change. When developing your site, we also focus on performance. This is where we ensure that your site loads lightning fast, and responds quickly to any type of user interaction. Goodbye sluggish websites!
