What makes a great website?
Communication and Engagement. Most groups overestimate the attention span of their viewers. We aim to make a lasting impact/memory for users within the first 2-5 seconds of visiting the site. This could be through impactful copy or striking visual design. We focus on writing great creative copy, avoiding cheap stock photography, drawing original illustrations, having good timing and pacing, and creating moments of delight through micro-interactions to make sure our websites reach audiences with saliency. We couple that energy with great analytics and tracking so that we can improve the websites performance over time.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Have you created a Lean Canvas for your business? – which leads us to what's the unique value prop and unfair advantage? What apps or websites are doing this better and what insights can we steal from them to make your website or app superior? Do you have napkin sketches, presentations, or other materials to help us better understand or help guide your vision? Are you looking for a strategic partner or just a partner to execute?
What do you love most about your job?
We love pushing entrepreneurs and small teams past their competition using the right technology strategies. We're lean and we focus on speed which makes us affordable and effective.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We were started by entrepreneurs in tech, understanding the struggles entrepreneurs face in tech. There is a shortage of UX and Design execution brilliance combined with great tech strategy in one place.
Why should our clients choose you?
We mirror our clients: We aim to blow past our competition in both speed and execution.
