Process.
How we solve problems and produce great work.
1. Discover
We begin by having the client describe their business and the system on which it operates. From there, we interview stakeholders and assess the company’s documents. We proceed to direct analytical reviews of our client’s current digital endeavors and look at how we can expand them. To finish the job, we begin primary research to better understand the target audience and look at the problem from their perspective.
2. Plan
Our planning process transforms research into a simple and easy-to-use set of goals and guidelines. This information contributes to defining the company’s future market positioning. Next, we create a ‘plan of attack’ which includes feature prioritization, product roadmaps, media planning, and layouts for organizing the project. These blueprints include the specific timelines and resource requirements required for the project to succeed.
3. Create & Iterate
In this phase of development, we use the aforementioned blueprints to lay down a digital prototype for the project. From graphic designers to website creation specialists, to programmers, professionals from various backgrounds then work together to create the best product for your company. The result is a combination of polished ideas optimized to drive your company forward.
4. Implement
During the Implementation phase, we transform ideas and plans into a working program. Implementation is where we integrate design, technological and content development, and advertising. This phase is divided into three categories, each with its own specific purpose. The “Design and Development” section includes website creation; “Production” spans the development of content, and the “Outreach” sector takes care of online advertising.
5. Measure
Our work goes far beyond simply coding a website or designing mobile sites; we use customer data profiles to create a more relevant and entrancing experience for users that increases their connection to your brand. Our measurement experts span Web, campaign, and social analytics, which are often provided to clients as interactive online dashboards. Such measures will ensure our client’s company’s success.
6. Evolve
To improve performance, we analyze all the data collected from every project. In order to best serve you, we use a test-and-learn methodology to ensure our services remain unmatched. We strive to bring you better products, so that both our companies can prosper. From increasing your e-commerce orders to driving your app to the “top charts”, we want to see our client’s products succeed.
A simple, iterative process.
