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!
