What is Design & Development Strategy?

Strategy is more than just one “thing” or element, it’s the bird’s eye view of the careful selection of an entire group of decisions in order to make meaningful contributions to your business goals.

Design and development strategy speaks to the thought process behind creative structures that are designed to meet customer needs—ultimately growing your business over time. It’s all the tactical logic that blends business goals with digital solutions to achieve long-term goals targeted at your end-user. It’s essential and you should never kick off a project without it (well, if you want your platform to be successful that is).

When you’re looking to build a website, app, or other digital platform or product, we know first hand it can be hard to identify what’s going to make your vision come to life in the best way possible. It can often feel like there are infinite options and the process becomes overwhelming.

At Newbird, building and creating platforms is what we do, but the strategy is the foundation of where it all begins. Without understanding your business and its customers first, we might all as well be creating a castle out of the sand. While timelines are extremely important to us, in this case, it’s not the speed that matters most—it’s the planning to create thoughtfully executed solutions to grow your business and delight customers. As a result, our process is more well-rounded than some other website agencies you might have worked with in the past. By that, we mean that we take the time to understand your world and create a sustainable platform that will go the distance, not just something that is a quick fix.

Newbird’s Design & Development Approach

No matter what the project, at Newbird we focus on developing foundational elements that will stand the test of time. None of that starting all over every time something changes or you need to adjust. Throughout our process, our web development strategists will learn about your business and customers to create a platform that is right for your goals, short-term and long.

Discovery

Lead by our team of web development strategists, we’ll learn more about your business, its products, your competitors, and your customers’ pain points to evaluate how we can help you reach your goals.

Planning & Strategy

To create a seamless and simple user interface we work with you and your team to understand your current process and map out a platform that more than just works, it converts. We’ll identify key functionality to develop a wireframe and select a platform provider.

Design & Development

After our prep work is done we’ll move into design and development. Using our strategy as the foundation, we’ll design the look and feel of your platform in alignment with your brand, then dive into the backend and hosting that will bring it to life. As we develop your platform we’ll integrate as many data points as possible: google analytics, heat mapping, and tracking so you’ll continue to get the most out of the site with or without us. But we don’t stop there, we’ll do quality & assurance tests before we let the world see it too: examining all the code and testing on multiple devices (just to name a few).

Ongoing Maintenance

Once your platform goes live we’ll manage, monitor, and keep it maintained. Meaning we’ll be keeping our eyes on it, making sure it stays up-to-date, secure, and effective with visitors.
