Quick answer

Our process has six phases: discovery & strategy, UX & structure, UI design & brand identity, development, launch & QA and growth. One fixed point of contact, weekly visible results — and a compact site is live in four to six weeks.

The process

Six phases, one clear line.

Every project follows the same rhythm — from first conversation to growth after launch. You always know where we stand, what the next step is and what it delivers.

01

Discovery & strategy

We start by listening: goals, audience, market and an honest baseline of what does and does not work now. Insights become a sharp plan with priorities and success criteria.

02

UX & structure

Information architecture, user flows and wireframes lock down the route — bare, clickable and cheap to adjust. We test the structure before a single pixel is final.

03

UI design & brand identity

Premium interfaces, built as a system: colour, typography and components from one source. No brand identity or an outdated logo? Then we design those in this phase too.

Development

Built on a fast, future-proof stack — in short sprints with weekly visible results. Technical SEO and a performance budget are in from day one.

Launch & QA

Flawlessly live: tested across browsers and devices, accessibility and Core Web Vitals checked, redirects and tracking set up. We stay sharp in the first weeks.

Growth

After launch it does not stop. We monitor, learn from data and keep developing structurally — with content, SEO/GEO and targeted optimisations.

The common thread

Design is not a phase, but the line running through it.

UX sets the route, UI makes it tangible and the design system keeps everything consistent — long after launch too.

In phases two and three our craft is closest to the skin: UI/UX design for the interface and — where needed — logo & brand identity for the brand visuals. But in development and growth we keep designing too: every new page, every email template and every campaign follows the same system. That is why everything we deliver feels like one whole.

Lead time

How long does it take?

4–6 weeks

Compact site

A tight one-pager or compact company site: from kickoff to launch in six weeks.

8–12 weeks

Large site or shop

Extensive website, webshop or custom build: more screens, more integrations, same rhythm.

3–5 weeks

Brand identity track

Logo and brand identity as a separate track — or parallel to phases two and three of your website.

Growth (phase six) is ongoing: monthly or quarterly, at a pace that suits you. Hard deadline? Say so in the first conversation — then we plan tightly toward it.

Collaborate

Short lines, no noise.

One fixed point of contact

You deal directly with Nawid — the person who designs and builds your site. No account managers, no middleman.

Weekly visible results

Every week a short demo or update on the staging environment. You watch as it takes shape — not only at the end.

Everything is yours

Domain, code, designs and data: you are and remain the owner. Every delivery comes with source files and clean documentation.
