Tools and Resources for Design
Tools: Figma
Figma is a design prototyping tool that allows us to send you a fully clickable and animated prototype of your live site design. Everything design, from your wireframe and style guide to your final mock-up, will live here!
Congratulations on receiving your wireframe! Your wireframe determines the framework and layout of your site's content. Be sure to leave comments on anything you'd like to change!
Using Figma, our UI designers will create a pixel perfect design of your website! This prototype, called a mock, will serve as the blueprints for our developers.
Getting Involved
The Importance of Digital Style Guides
Your style guide serves as a set of standardized guidelines that establishes how and where to use language, formatting, design elements, and other components across your website. This helps our teams to collaborate seamlessly while accurately representing your business!
The Importance of Your Home Page Meeting
Your home page is the establishing shot for the rest of your website! Your customers first impressions and the site's global styling all originate in the home page. This meeting is a great time to bring up any changes or features you'd like to make!
Reviewing Your Core Pages
Now that you've reviewed your homepage, your design is in full swing! Some pages are being developed, while others will need your review. Our team will be collaborating regularly with yours to ensure that all pages are exactly as you want them!
3. Development Phase
Congratulations! Your project is now in the development phase!
In this phase, your development team will meet with your design team and turn your Figma prototype into a reality. Included in this phase:
