At Strafe, we guide all clients through a comprehensive 12-step method to fully understand their needs.

Understanding Your Aesthetic Vision

Next, we focus on how you want to be perceived aesthetically. We review various options from different sites and projects to understand your preferences. This includes examining examples from both your industry and other fields. We also discuss whether you prefer a personal touch with photography or a more professional look. This step helps us capture your brand's unique essence.

UX and Wireframing

In this stage, we map out user flows and create visual representations based on our discovery work. We develop individual user flows to illustrate navigation, using diagrams to highlight what works visually. Wireframes focus on user-centric design, determining page hierarchy and navigation ease. This ensures a seamless user experience and sets a strong foundation for the final design.
