How we make a great website
This is how we work on every website, from a brochure site to a group's sites in several countries. We take small, sure steps and don't cut corners.
-
01
Research and realistic goals
Every website starts with market and competitor research and workshops with your team. Together we set the site's goals, the image it should build and what should make your offer stand out. We move on to design only once we understand your needs and risks well.
-
02
Wireframe first
We organise the information architecture: content and visitor paths are first laid out on a wireframe, with no colours or photos yet. Once the sketch is clear, the visual design has something solid to stand on.
-
03
Clear at every stage
Before we start, you know how the work will be organised and what result to expect. We work in stages, to a schedule, and keep you posted on what we're doing, why and when.
-
04
Your team can change everything
Texts, photos, sections and whole pages are changed in the panel. Every block has simple fields, so even someone who joined the team yesterday can handle them.
-
05
The move, start to finish
We take care of the move: we bring content over from the old site, set up redirects from old addresses, sort out the domain and server, and check the Google reports after launch. That's how we moved over 4,000 posts, reports and documents to the new Grupa BEST website.
-
06
Attention to detail
Icons, design, animations and code are all our own work, made from scratch for each site. The site looks like your brand and loads only the code it uses.
-
07
No “that can't be done”
Animations, a product configurator, a link to your warehouse system, a portal with logins: we build things like these every day. If an idea would cost more than it brings in, we say so at the start and suggest a simpler way to the same goal.
-
08
Speed
Photos, videos and animations are slimmed down to light formats, and scripts load only when they're needed. We measure speed before and after launch, on phones too and on a weak signal.
-
09
Truly responsive
The phone and tablet versions get the same care as the desktop one. Every block has its own small-screen layout, arranged for thumbs.
-
10
Accessibility as standard
Every site is designed and built to WCAG: contrast, heading order, keyboard and screen reader support. We think about accessibility in every block from the first sketch.
-
11
Built to last, with a one-year guarantee
We secure the site and write the code so later updates go through without drama. For 12 months after launch we handle updates and backups kept off the server.

No hidden costs
The quote doesn't grow during the project. If something we agreed on takes us longer than planned, that time is on us.
