One of the first questions we get from our clients is “What does your process look like?”. Naturally it’s your right to know what to expect during our web design process before signing the contract. So, we created this brief document. Depending on your needs, the steps may change. For instance, if we’re building a website based on a theme, the development and the design phases usually go hand in hand.  Or you may choose not to get any optimization service. We decide about the rest of the process at the planning stage. But still, this document will give you a general idea about our web design process and what to expect.
