eCommerce and website design

Custom website design is well suited for brands that have a unique and creative approach to their online presence. Our studio has a long track record in quality custom website development.

What makes your website design process different?

Our team is highly experienced in mobile-first website design and has been building pixel-perfect interfaces for over a decade.

We approach custom website design the same as we approach product development – looking to document the interface components so that it’s less about the number of pages and more about an interface to support your content and online strategy.

What are JAMstack sites?

The 'JAM' in JAMstack stands for Javascript, APIs and Markup. Using the JAMstack is not a new technology, but rather a new approach to building websites with a less complicated process that produces more secure and performant websites.

  • Served statically
    Pages (Markup) are pre-renedered and served directly from a CDN or static server.
  • Reduced complexity
    Less complicated infrastructure and failure points to manage.
  • Progressive enhancement
    Enhance the eperience with Javascript and get direct access to different APIs and services.

As you can see JAMstack sites are moving away from the server and closer to the user (or browser) by serving files directly from a Content Delivery Network or static server making your website faster, easier to manage and more secure.

Why get a JAMstack website?

  • Faster loading times

    Faster loading times

    Dynamic websites are slow. With a JAMstack site, your pages are pre-rendered static HTML files ready to be served. With no database requests or any content that needs to be generated on each request, your site will be lightning fast. Site speed is not only important for the user experience, but also plays a big role in your SEO.

  • Better security and less maintenance

    Better security and less maintenance

    Not having to rely on a database or 100s of plugins to build a site, means your site is much more secure and less vulnerable. No more 'update to the latest version Wordpress' measages or running the risk of breaking your site by updating a silly plugin someone installed.

  • Decoupled content management system

    JAMstack sites allows you to focus on what's important, your content. Publish content without the design and layout distractions. Having a decoupled CMS with a simple admin UI makes creating content a breeze.

Our website design and development process

We have adopted an Agile approach to designing and developing websites and are flexible to your requirments and ideas. Our component based approach allows us to make quick changes of what you'd like to see during each phase of the project. With regular demos and project updates your feedback and input becomes vital to the entire process.

  1. Project discovery
    This can be in the form of a few meetings or workshops where we define project requirments, business goals, learn more about your customer segments and uncover various problems and possible solutions.

  2. Information architecture and prototyping
    Our UX designers will start organising and structuring your content that is both understandible and easy to navigate. This step also involves the creation of wireframes and prototypes.

  3. Component-centric interface design
    Designers and developers team up and start designing, building and organising all the self-contained interface components that ultimately make up your website.

  4. Testing and handover
