2 Ideas

Once we’ve read your design brief, we usually suggest getting together for an informal chat. This meeting enables us to get to know each other, and to establish a working rapport. It’s also a good time for us to ask any questions, that we may have about the project, and to confirm specifics like personal preferences.

So often our design proposals stem from a throwaway comment, or from something that we’ve seen or have been shown. Regularly clients react to our creative solutions by saying “That encapsulates us perfectly!”, or “You really know us so well!” But in general, you already have the necessary content. Our job is to piece it together, in order to produce visually fresh ideas for you.

3 Develop

Our design concepts are just that. Initial thoughts for us to gauge your reaction with. By presenting them to you, we can discuss how close our interpretation is to your vision. And at this stage nothing is cast in steel or set in stone. So we have the ability to adapt, amend and even discard. Refining our ideas until your entirely satisfied with our approach.

During the development phase, [gawr-juhs] also ensures that maintenance and production practicalities are taken care of too. All websites we construct have a simple, easy-to-use, content management system built into them. Artwork files are created to match the appropriate technical printing specifications. Essentially we do the the thinking for you, in advance.

4 Launch

Any successful inauguration needs a coordinated approach. Working together we can establish a realistic timetable of project deadlines, that will guarantee [gawr-juhs] has all the files, marketing materials and printed collateral ready for your launch.

And when external services need to be purchased for your project – for example domain names, web hosting, or printing services – we’re happy to buy these for you. Plus we won’t add any mark-up to prices that we are charged. [gawr-juhs] has always been open and transparent about this particular policy since the day we launched.

5 Support

Once your project has launched, we’ll provide you with all the files we’re created for you. This will allow you to make future changes when you want, without having to come back to us and incur additional costs. However, we appreciate that not everyone has the time nor inclination to do that. So we’re happy for you to think of us as you in-house design department too.

In the rare circumstances when [gawr-juhs] has employed software, that you’re unfamiliar with, then we can train you and your staff in its use too. In addition, we will soon be posting short video tutorials on our YouTube channel that will demonstrate to you how to make changes to websites using our selected content management systems.

In summary we hope our approach will enable you to become self-sufficient.
