Design by Morango.co.uk

Sometimes our clients are pushed for time.  This time we had to conceptualise and launch an event website in under 14 days. We are proud to say we did it. It took us exaclty 11 days.. ok and nights. But we did it.

Monique’s Creative team has worked absurd hours round the clock to meet this incredibly tight deadline. The Developers have also shown what they are made of - and sprinted with the Ruby on Rails development manoeuvering around a few PayPal quirks along the way too.

We’re rpud to say- the client is delighted and we’re exhausted but happy!

Fine. So you want a website. How do you TELL us what you have in mind. Mockups? Sitemap?

Before you start thinking what it should look like it’s a good idea to ask yourself what should it do? And Why? (more…)

Website Design and Production

1. Requirements Analysis

• Determine the goals for the website from the perspective of the user and the business.
• Define the user needs and target usability requirements.
• Evaluate existing versions of the site and of competitors/inspiration.
• Understand existing constraints

2. Conceptual Design

• Sketch out a site design and architecture at an abstract level.
• Conduct a task analysis to find critical features.

3. Mock-ups / Prototypes

• Create visual representations (mock-ups) or interactive representations (prototypes) of the site.
• Evaluate usability through user tests, and walkthroughs.
• Use the evaluation results to create more mock-ups or improve the prototypes.
• Repeat this step until the design and usability goals are met.

4. Architecture

• Determine the most appropriate technologies to achieve desired UI style and backend functionality
• Evaluate cost and time impact/effect of all such components.

5. Production
