Why Process Matters for Austin Organizations
Austin is a competitive market with design-aware audiences. Visitors evaluate credibility quickly. If a website feels confusing, generic, or difficult to use, potential customers move on.
A defined process ensures:
– Clear alignment between goals and execution
– Strong UX foundations before visual design begins
– Fewer revisions caused by unclear direction
– Better long-term scalability
Our process replaces assumptions with strategy and structure.
Phase 1: Discovery and Alignment
Discovery is the most critical phase of any project. It establishes clarity before design or development begins.
During discovery, we work with stakeholders to understand:
– Business objectives and KPIs
– Target audiences and user intent
– Competitive landscape
– Content requirements and gaps
– Technical constraints and opportunities
– Growth plans and future needs
This phase ensures that every design decision that follows is grounded in real context rather than subjective opinion.
Phase 2: UX Strategy and Site Architecture
Once discovery is complete, we translate insights into a clear user experience strategy.
This phase includes:
– Sitemap and page hierarchy planning
– Navigation structure and labeling
– User flows for key actions
– Conversion path planning
– Accessibility considerations
UX strategy ensures users can find what they need quickly and move through the site with confidence.
Phase 3: UI Design and Visual Direction
With UX strategy approved, we move into custom UI design.
Our designers create:
– Fully custom page layouts
– Responsive design systems
– Visual hierarchy for scannability
– Typography and color usage aligned with brand
We do not use templates. Every layout is designed from scratch to support usability and brand clarity.

Phase 4: Custom Development and Build
After design approval, our development team builds the website using clean, scalable code.
This phase includes:
– SEO-ready architecture
– Responsive implementation
– CMS configuration
– Performance optimization
– Security best practices
Our builds are designed to grow with your organization, not restrict it.
Phase 5: Content Integration and Optimization
Content is integrated intentionally, with structure and clarity in mind.
We ensure:
– Proper heading hierarchy
– Logical content flow
– Internal linking support
– SEO-friendly formatting
If organic growth is part of your plan, our SEO services complement this phase.
Phase 6: Quality Assurance and Launch
Before launch, every site goes through extensive testing:
– Browser and device testing
– Performance validation
– Accessibility checks
– Form and functionality testing
Launch only happens when the site meets usability and performance standards.
Phase 7: Post-Launch Support and Growth
Many Austin clients continue working with us after launch.
Post-launch support can include:
– UX refinements
– Content expansion
– New features or sections
– Ongoing optimization
This ensures your website remains a growth asset.
