Development
Process
An overview of our web development process, from research to site launch.
Expect many questions. This is the time we sit down with the client to assess what elements exist, what the goals are and who the target audience is. We conduct in-depth interviews with various stakeholders to get a clear overview.
Once finished with the research the client receives a strategy report with recommendations, a brief that defines the project concisely, and the definition of the personas. Establishing personas helps making objective design decisions.

Key Characteristics
Personas
We present multiple web concepts for each project. After the initial presentation, we start fine tuning a chosen direction and implement client feedback in 2 to 3 rounds. We design with functionality in mind, creating a solid framework and its complementary visuals.
From coffee, to drones, to lighting we are able to adapt to different industries. Shown below are a range of websites. Most of them were coded by Un-, some by the client's in-house development team.

PHASE 3 — Coding
Assemble & Build
Once the design has been finalized, we begin the coding phase. We spec files for development and ensure all elements are working from mobile to desktop. This process includes testing, and correcting any technical issues, plus populating the site with content.
PHASE 4 — Test / Launch
Going Live
After a final phase, the site launch gets carefully synchronized with the web team, domain registrar and the client's marketing activities to ensure a smooth transition and to minimize downtime.
