Design and Development

At Colab-Digital, we use a simple 4 step process to develop and design our web projects. We start by doing an audit on your existing platform or for new projects, we examine the category that you fall into. Once we have gathered sufficient insights, we can formulate a strategy designed to meet your end goal and one that will be moulded to your business goals.

One of our key differentiators is that we create our content and wireframes in tandem. This allows the seamless production of copy and user-journeys to flow with sensical content. As we transition from this phase to design & development we then examine the brand aspects, style guide and how to ensure the vision comes alive through rock solid design and development. On completion, we take your product into the testing stage before going live.

1. AUDIT & STRATEGY

To ensure we understand the goal of any website, we start with an audit which informs our strategy.

2. WIREFRAMES & CONTENT

Wireframes and content, done in one phase to ensure a clear user journey.

3. DESIGN & DEVELOP

We put together the design and development based on our signed off content and wireframes.

4. LAUNCH

We test our projects rigorously, making sure the experience is bug-free and enjoyable

E-Commerce is set to change the way consumers access product dramatically and we are able to produce websites that enable this phenomenon. Using platforms like Woocommerce, Shopify and Magento it has become even easier to sell online.

Our staple development tool is WordPress, this is the most widely used platform globally and is the core website tool we offer for an easy entry into the website arena. Our specific system using the Visual Composer to execute our platforms to ensure that the websites are easy to manage for the long term while common elements like headers and footers are also editable. Our website projects are handed over with video training, face to face sessions and the option of a maintenance plan for busy marketing professionals or business owners.

Developing apps has become somewhat of a saturated market as too many businesses jumped on the bandwagon too early with not enough thought given to the core value of the application. Not only do we build apps but we also help create a strategy around the app so that once it is released it’s actually useful.

One of the most undervalued aspects of building an online presence, offline platform or application is user testing. This is the simple process of ensuring the intended audience understands and is 100% clear on how to navigate the platform. Taking the time to test a platform before it is released will not only ensure a higher level of engagement but also it will ensure usability.
