Austin Web Design

What does web design involve?

Our web design services encompass a wide variety of disciplines and technologies depending on the specific project. With extensive experience in Web standards and browser compatibility, our web designers are sticklers for detail. As Web developers, we strive to create rich user experiences, traditional web design approaches become restrictive and ineffective. We stay on the cutting edge of user experience trends and innovations so that the solutions that we develop for our customers maximize the usability of the web.

How are we different from other web design companies?

• We hire talented and energetic individuals that fuel our innovation
  In our work, we select and apply technologies that solve unique business challenges. We hire people who are knowledgeable and excited about those technologies and whose energy fuels the innovative nature of our work. We view each new project as an opportunity to refine our approach and extend our expertise. With this mindset, our Austin web developers are constantly improving our collective ability to fuse innovation and strategy in our development process.
• The finished product is a testament to our approach
  Finally, we understand that the work we do not only represents our customers' business, but ours as well. The majority of our business comes from client referrals and word of mouth. Developing a network of happy customers that generate referrals and repeat business has been critical to our success and remains one of our top priorities.
• We constistenly strive for world-class quality
  Our Austin web design team is extremely passionate about the quality of work that we produce. We aren't satisfied until every pixel is aligned, every graphic is optimized, and every page works like a dream. With so many web design companies out there to choose from, we know that it's important to produce quality work. And that's why we're sticklers about it.

What is the approach?

Creativity and innovation are at the heart of every website we design. Our approach to website design projects is broken down into three sub units: graphic design, programming/code development, and project management. Our approach is tailored to charge the talent and energy with which we work in is divided as follows:

• Project Management
  Each website or web application starts with a discovery phase in which we identify project requirements and key challenges. We begin by completing engineering documents that serve as a channel of communication between our developers and the client. Project management persists throughout the development cycle and is responsible for guiding functionality and interface decisions.
• Graphic Design
  Guided by engineering documents such as a flowcharts, website wireframes and a creative brief, our designers will construct a series of home page mockups each of which fulfills the project presentation requirements in a different way. Once a direction is selected, the designer will make revisions to the home page mockup if necessary and provide secondary page mockups. Each phase requires the client's approval before we proceed.

• Code Development
  Once all the content for the site is written, we begin by coding the selected mockups into XHTML and CSS. This process transforms a mockup from a flat image into an interactive web-page with text, links, images and/or live content. All pages of the site are hand-coded to match the design perfectly. Once all the pages have been built, we test them in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome and Safari. Most of our projects also include server-side ColdFusion or PHP and/or client-side javascript components.
