  • 1. Strategic Consulting

    We can help if you need to be pointed in the right direction or even if you have no idea where to start. We will assess your current situation - goals, competitors, and audience - to determine what would be most beneficial to you. Proper research can turn wild guesses into educated ones, reveal potential problems, and validate risks. If you come to us with a problem we will find a solution or someone that is better suited to help. Continue to the next stage.

  • 2. Organisation and Planning

    We present our finding in the form of a project proposal, but we prefer to think of it as a solid starting point for discussion. We work with you to refine the proposal until it clearly defines the objective, audience, timeline, responsibilities and payment scheme. Once finalised, the proposal becomes the basis of the contract. We take it upon ourselves to make sure that the requirements and deadlines are respected by both parties. Continue to the next stage.

  • 3. Development by Implementation

    We advocate the use of open-source technologies. We implement and customize existing solutions developed by online communities of designers and programmers. This allows us to produce higher quality work, save time, and cut costs. We are able to give back to these communities by sharing the improvements and extensions we create. Continue to the next stage.

  • 4. Beyond the Website

    We don't want to set you up with a website just to have it stagnate. We offer training for the content management systems and other technologies that we implement. If you need business cards or an annual report to match your site, we do print-design as well. Continue to the next stage.

  • 5. Keep in Touch

    We pride ourselves on forming lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients by maintaining open communication even after projects are completed. We invest our reputation in every choice we make because we prefer to do business through referrals. Back to start.
