My approach to creating a great website and app:
- Get the planning right
I help understand clients’ content requirements, design ideas and web hosting needs before writing any code; these are some of the pivotal aspects to a successful site and app. - Build iteratively and collaboratively
I create mockup (wireframe) designs and agree the frameworks and software I will use to build the website or app, then work collaboratively with clients during development, communicating progress to reduce re-work. - Sign off and support
I put the final touches to the website or app, ensure the client is 100% satisfied with the finished product, and offer onward training and support as needed.
