Web Design

Service details

Includes: Structure, Copy, Design, Motion, Build, Launch
Refined and signed off by: Will Derman, Dave Derman
Note: Our website looked sharp at launch. Why does it look messy now?

A site designed by one team and built by another often breaks on a phone, with headings split in odd places. Your site goes live only when every page matches its design, on a phone as on a desktop, down to where each line breaks.

Scope

Structure
The pages your site needs, and none it doesn’t.
Copy
What your site says, from the headlines to the error messages, in our words or yours.
Design
Your brand on screen, laid out for a phone as carefully as for a desktop.
Motion
How menus open and pages change, as much as the site calls for, designed rather than guessed at in the build.
Build
The site coded from the design, then each page measured against it, spacing and line breaks included.
Launch
Your site live on your own domain. With a content management system (CMS), you can edit pages yourself. The design files stay with the studio.

The same Veld Architects page on a desktop monitor and on a phone in a brass stand, on a walnut desk by a brass lamp.

Fine Living’s Louisa Arm Chair page on a tablet on a walnut console, a brass bowl of keys and a cream vase beside it.

David Muirhead’s residential collection page on a phone leaning on books on a marble side table by a rust velvet armchair.

Process

01
Brief
We take your brief and map the site. Dave leads any CMS or backend work it needs.
02
Words
We write the words, or edit yours to suit the site, and pick the lines that stay.
03
Pages
We design the pages and code them side by side, then refine both until they match.
04
Sign-off
Will and Dave check every page, sign it off and launch it on your domain.
