Our Process

From planning through launch

Project Planning

We define the goals, audience, content needs, and practical constraints before design work begins.

Prototyping

We create early layouts or wireframes so we can test structure before investing in polished design.

Iterations

We refine the design through focused rounds of feedback, improving clarity, flow, and usability.

Implementation

The approved design becomes a working site with clean structure and a responsive front-end.

Quality Assurance and Accessibility Checks

We check the site across screens, browsers, links, forms, and content details before launch. We also review accessibility against Section 508 and ADA-informed best practices where applicable.

Case Studies

01 / 03
01

Medical Policy Site Planning Design and Build

  • Client: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Diversion and Control
  • Project Focus: This was a redesign of a federal website that hadn't been touched in over a decade. Our focus was updating tools used and coming up with a new plan within the constraints of the technology.

This client needed a full redesign of a large federal website serving multiple user groups. We used site analytics to help inform homepage content order, navigation priorities, and menu layout. Because the project involved several stakeholders with competing priorities, the design process required careful iteration, review, and coordination.

We went from a dated and unclear site to a modern interface. The users for this site were usually looking for pharmaceutical registration, permitting, conference information, and administration updates. Because of the breadth of the user base, the project required a broad approach to accessibility, content organization within existing technology constraints.

Responsive Design and Animation for a Federal Education-Focused Agency

  • Client: Department of Education - National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
  • Project Focus: Redesign and project support for a very large website for Department of Education / IES. Tasks included a deep refresh of the site, new wireframs and design, development, image curation.

This was a large redesign project for the IES NAEP external website. Working within a strict style guide, we created wireframes, mockups, and interface designs for a complex federal education site with multiple content types and user needs.

Because the client required detailed design approval before implementation, the work included precise mockups for multiple breakpoints and device sizes. We supported both design and development, contributing to icon design, visual design, wireframing, ideation sessions, animation, and data visualization design.

03

Project Planning - Timeline

  • Client: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Diversion and Control
  • Project Focus: Timeline and Development management

This is a project timeline for the redesign of the DEA diversion site. Since we had a small team, we needed a development timeline where design and development could happen in parallel. We settled on having the bulk of the pages placed on the server by development while working with stakeholders on design. It was important to leave time for changes, and unforeseen technical delays, and scheduling conflicts.
