From Idea to Launch

The development process began with a discovery and planning phase, where we clarified the client’s goals, audience, and technical requirements. Next came wireframing and design, where we translated those ideas into structured layouts and a modern visual identity

1. Launch & Handoff – Deploying the site and providing client training on content updates.
2. Discovery & Planning – Understanding the client’s goals, target audience, and required features.
3. Wireframing & Design – Creating layout mockups and defining a modern yet minimal visual language.
4. Development – Building the site using WordPress and the Gutenberg editor for flexibility.
5. Testing & Optimization – Ensuring responsiveness, accessibility, and fast load times across all devices.

Once the core functionality was in place, we thoroughly tested the site for responsiveness, accessibility, and performance across various devices and browsers. Finally, we launched the site and walked the client through content management so they could confidently update and maintain their new digital presence.

Key Features We Implemented

• Fully responsive layout with smooth animations
• Custom Gutenberg blocks for flexible content editing
• Portfolio filtering with category-based navigation
• Integrated blog section for thought leadership
• Contact form with reCAPTCHA protection

Each feature was chosen to not only elevate the visual appeal but also to improve usability. For example, the custom Gutenberg blocks allow the client to edit sections like testimonials or portfolio projects without touching a line of code.

Understanding the Client’s Vision

Before writing a single line of code, we kicked things off with a deep dive into the client’s goals. The client—a graphic designer—wanted a clean, fast website that emphasized visuals without sacrificing usability. They also needed to manage content on their own, which meant we had to build with user-friendly tools from the start.

This project highlighted the importance of close collaboration and user-centered design. By combining modern development tools with strategic thinking, we delivered a site that’s not only beautiful but built to grow with the client’s business.
