Our Design Process: Style Guides

Creating a style guide is a key step prior to designing a full site, as it serves as a foundation for a consistent and cohesive user experience. By establishing a set of design principles, elements, and standards, a style guide streamlines the design process, ensures brand consistency, and fosters collaboration among your team members. Example Style Guides:

Our Design Process: Mood Boards

The mood board serves as a visual representation of the desired look, feel, and tone of your site. By gathering and organizing images, colors, typography, and other design elements, a mood board helps our designers effectively communicate their ideas, identify trends, and establish a cohesive aesthetic direction. This essential step not only fosters consensus among stakeholders, but also helps in shaping a consistent and engaging user experience that aligns with the brand’s identity and resonates with the target audience.

Our Design Process: Lo-Fi Wireframes

Our lo-fi wireframes provide a simplified, visual representation of the site’s layout and structure. By outlining the placement and hierarchy of various design elements, such as navigation menus, content blocks, and calls-to-action, wireframes allow designers to establish a clear and functional user flow. This essential step facilitates communication and collaboration among everyone on the project, enabling them to identify potential usability issues and make informed design decisions early in the process. Ultimately, wireframes serve as a solid foundation for the website, ensuring a more efficient design process and a cohesive, user-friendly experience.

Final Designs

We’ll work closely with you to transform your mood boards and wireframes into a polished, visually appealing web design. Through an iterative process of revisions, our designers will fine-tune both the visual and functional aspects of the website, skillfully blending the mood board’s aesthetics with the wireframe’s structure. By maintaining open communication and fostering collaboration with you and your team, we’ll deliver a beautiful, user-friendly website that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
