Design and development

Understand

Give your project a clear direction

Your goals, your teams’ workflows and your users’ expectations are our starting point. We examine how your organisation works, its existing tools and its constraints to define what your website or application needs to achieve.

This establishes the features, user roles and data the application will handle. Together, we set priorities and define a scope that fits your budget and schedule.

Design

Bring architecture, interfaces and user needs together

We organise information, user journeys and screens to make essential tasks straightforward to understand and complete. Depending on the project, wireframes, mock-ups or prototypes help you review the proposed approach before development begins.

Design also covers the data model, access permissions and connections with your other systems. Interface design and technical architecture progress together, creating an application that is consistent in both appearance and behaviour.

Develop

Build the features your organisation needs

Manageable websites, extranets, client portals, business management applications and document databases: we develop tools around your processes. Forms, approval workflows, search tools, dashboards and data exchanges come together in an application designed for your organisation.

Our technical foundation is PHP and LAMP environments, with experience in Drupal, Laravel and WordPress. The choice depends on your requirements and existing systems. We use established components and develop custom functionality where it brings practical value to your project.

Validate

Test the application against real-world use

Features need to be assessed in the context in which they will be used. We test user journeys, business rules, access permissions and data exchanges, alongside interface behaviour on the devices and browsers selected for the project.

Demonstrations and user acceptance testing allow you to check that the application meets your needs. Issues are tracked, fixes prioritised and essential functionality validated before deployment.

Deploy

Launch your application and prepare for what comes next

We prepare the production environment, install the application and carry out launch checks. Guidance and documentation give your teams the information they need to use and administer their new tool.

Our involvement can continue through hosting, maintenance and additional features. Knowledge of the application and a clear record of changes provide continuity as your needs evolve.
