Information Architecture (IA)

Information Architecture is the organisation and presentation of a website or mobile app in a way that makes it easy to understand, creating an easy-to-follow customer journey.

This is involves considering where, when, why and how users are interacting with your site and other digital channels. This knowledge is paired with your customer’s needs, goals, behaviours and expectations, creating a holistic, seamless experience that aligns best practice with your specific requirements and optimises the online visitor experience.

Understanding your customer’s identity, the value they seek in your products and content, and their usage patterns are essential in crafting effective information architecture. 

Wireframing and Prototyping

You wouldn’t build a car without blueprints, or make a cake without a recipe, and that’s where wireframing and prototyping comes into play in the website design agency process.

Prior to the design and build stage, our team will mock up wireframes and prototypes to help you establish how and where new designs could elevate your brand, as well as identifying key onsite activity where you’ll see uplifts in clicks and conversions.

Visual Design (UI)

Most ecommerce journeys start with a mobile device, and so does our design. Focusing on the smaller-screen before expanding out, our designs are created on a component-based system in Figma. This allows easy roll-out and ongoing iteration, ensuring your online presence is pixel-perfect on every screen.

Every client receives a UI and style kit, which are used to design every page on their ecommerce site. This offers complete flexibility and allows our in-house development experts to ensure that what you sign-off, is what is delivered.

User Experience (UX) Design

Your ecommerce website design should be exciting and effective, enticing the user to learn more, while painstakingly guiding them down an effortless, beautiful journey to purchase.

Our UX design begins with the consumer. We create user personas and journeys with your customers in mind. From there, we design content maps to see what lives where, and only then do we start to wireframe, prototype and test.

From exquisite design to the high-performing, scalable code underneath: The Unified process ensures that we build ecommerce websites that are both engaging and effective.

Art Direction

Working alongside your team, our designers will ensure your brand looks sharp, contemporary and in-tune with everything your customers already know and love. Our comprehensive approach begins with visual concept development, guiding the overall look and feel of your ecommerce site.
