Public sector branding
Brands exist and they matter, even if in the public sector people don’t like to think of them. They are something which almost everyone can be emotionally invested in, which is why you must get it right the first time.

Creative design
We can help when you need to produce on brand material to meet any tactical or strategic objectives. From Shelf wobblers, 3D models, presentations to 300 plus page prospectuses and 1,000 page website, we will work carefully and quickly to craft the appropriate solution.
User Experience
Personas
We can help define key users/personas that detail who the user is, what they do, where they are coming from and most importantly itemises their key objectives on visiting your site. They should not be stereotypes but archetypes. We use them to help focus on the visitor as a real person.
Wireframing
Before pages are designed layouts are developed for the key pages as wireframes. This allows us to show the navigation, related content and functionality on each page as well as the priority given to each content area. These should be tested with each key user group. The findings are used to improve the labelling, layout and functionality before the designs are produced.
Information architecture
With the accumulated information and considering the totality of user intentions an effective IA can be developed. This is an integrated view of your site structure. User-flows are created to check that each of the key users obtains easy access to the information that is pertinent to them. We also define the labels that will be used for each navigation item.
Web Design and Development
Visual design
The visual design and user interface is crucial to the success of the project and we closely align usability principles, the requirements outlined by the user research, and your brand guidelines. We analyse concepts and ideas in the wireframes and provide visual approaches to support the overall usability of the website – confirming accessibility approach (colour schemes), developing a modular/familiar visual approach to key components and an assets libraries.
CMS and Application build
We love open source and are great advocates and exponents of WordPress and Drupal applications as a starting point. We typically work within an agile development process working with you to build on a shell system over short sprints until the functionality is as desired within the budget and timeframe.
Testing
As content is uploaded to your site, we would test the site and content. We would also work with you to perform a full site test using both manual and automated tools to ensure that things work as anticipated and that content is in the appropriate place and presented consistently across your website.
