How we work

From brief to launch
in nine weeks.

Four tight phases, no waterfall. Strategy, design, and engineering run in parallel — not sequentially — which is how we deliver work faster without sacrificing quality.


01

Discovery & Strategy

We run a focused 3-day workshop to align on goals, audit the competitive landscape, and define the metrics that matter. Every project begins with a strategy document — a single source of truth you'd be proud to show your board. We cover positioning, audience, technical requirements, and success criteria before a single pixel moves.

Week 1
02

Design & Prototyping

From wireframes to high-fidelity Figma prototypes in five days. We test critical user flows with real users before a single line of code is written. Feedback rounds are capped at two — we set clear decision criteria upfront so reviews don't turn into design committees. Output: a production-ready design system and approved hi-fi prototype.

Weeks 2–3
03

Build & Integrate

Engineering runs in two-week sprints with daily async updates. We build in public — you have access to staging from day one and can leave comments directly in the browser. We wire in your CMS, CRM, analytics stack, and any custom integrations, documenting every decision as we go. QA is built in, not bolted on at the end.

Weeks 4–7
04

Launch & Optimise

Staged rollout, full regression QA, and a 30-day post-launch optimisation sprint. We monitor Core Web Vitals, conversion events, and marketing performance daily for the first two weeks, then weekly for a month. Bugs are fixed same-day in the first 30 days. We don't hand over the keys and disappear.

Weeks 8–9+

Collaboration, not hand-offs.

Traditional agencies move in silos: strategy hands to design, design hands to dev, dev hands to marketing. Every transition loses context. We embed strategy, design, engineering, and analytics in the same team from day one — so decisions made in discovery still make sense in week eight.

You get a dedicated Slack channel, a shared Notion workspace, and a weekly 30-minute review call. That's all the process overhead you need. Everything else is work product.

Web Development

Engineering that ships
and holds up.

Every site is architected for longevity, performance, and your team's ability to own it long-term. Here's how we get there.

  • Tech stack selection based on content, scale, and team requirements
  • Information architecture mapping with user flow diagrams
  • Performance budget defined before the first component is written
  • CMS and third-party integration requirements locked in writing
  • Component design system scope documented and agreed

Digital Marketing

Growth that's built
to compound.

We don't run ads in isolation. Every channel we manage feeds data into the others. The result is a system that improves every month rather than plateauing.

Brand & UI Design

Design systems, not
one-off screens.

We don't hand over a Figma file and disappear. We build the component library, the token system, and the documentation your team needs to scale the design without us.

01
Research & Discovery
Competitive audit, user interviews, brand positioning, and visual direction — before anything is drawn.
Moodboard · Audit · Brief
02
Wireframes & UX
Low-fidelity layout explorations tested with real users before visual design begins. Structure before style.
Wireframes · Flow maps · User tests
03
Visual Design
High-fidelity screens with full brand application. Typography, color, motion, and interaction states all defined.
Hi-fi screens · Style guide · Prototype
04
Design System
Figma component library with design tokens, usage docs, and handoff specs your dev team can actually use.
Components · Tokens · Docs
Research & Discovery
Before a single wireframe, we need to understand the competitive landscape, user expectations, and what "great" looks like in your category. We run structured discovery sessions to surface insights that shape every visual decision that follows.
  • Competitive visual audit across 10–15 direct and indirect competitors
  • Stakeholder workshops to align on brand personality and tone
  • Moodboards with 3 distinct visual directions for client selection
  • User persona definitions and journey mapping
  • Creative brief signed off before design work begins

Wireframes & UX Architecture
We map information architecture and user flows before opening Figma. Wireframes are intentionally low-fidelity so feedback stays focused on structure, not aesthetics. We test critical flows with real users before anything goes hi-fi.
  • Sitemap and page-level information architecture
  • Low-fidelity wireframes for all key templates
  • Clickable prototype for user journey testing
  • Two rounds of structured client feedback, capped
  • Approved wireframes sign-off before visual design

Visual Design
With structure approved, we apply full visual treatment — typography hierarchy, colour system, iconography, motion principles, and all interactive states. Nothing ships without hover, focus, active, disabled, and loading states defined.
  • Full hi-fidelity screens for all approved templates
  • All interactive states defined: hover, focus, active, error
  • Motion and transition principles documented
  • Dark mode variants where applicable
  • Colour contrast checked to WCAG 2.1 AA across all components

Design System & Handoff
The final output isn't screens — it's a system. We build the Figma component library, write the usage documentation, and create the design token file that your engineering team implements directly into code.
  • Full Figma component library with variants and auto-layout
  • Design tokens in JSON for direct engineering use
  • Component usage documentation with dos and don'ts
  • Dev handoff annotations for spacing, motion, and behaviour
  • 30-min walkthrough session with your engineering lead
