What Goes Into a Great Website?

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the strategy we use to build smarter, more effective sites.

What is systems research in web design?

We start every project by evaluating how your current website and systems function. This helps us build a site that integrates with your tools—and actually improves your workflow.

What are user interviews, and do I need them?

User interviews help us understand your audience’s goals, frustrations, and needs. We use those insights to make sure your new website actually works for the people using it.

What is competitive analysis, and how does it help?

We look at what your competitors are doing online so we can identify gaps and opportunities. It’s part of how we design smarter, more strategic websites.

What is information architecture?

Information architecture is how your content is organized and labeled. A good structure helps users find what they need—and stick around longer.

What are wireframes?

Think of wireframes as the blueprints of your website. They show layout, flow, and functionality—before any design begins—so we can align on structure early.

What is heatmapping, and how is it used?

Heatmaps track where users click, scroll, and spend time. We use that data to improve usability, layout, and design decisions.
