Design
We start by helping you understand your target audience. This is done through customer research and building personas which include concise value propositions. We constantly refer back to these when making design and marketing decisions.
We base our designs on a mix of analytics, user research and insights This ensures a fantastic, highly intuitive result is attained, based on key requirements of both your business and visitors to your site.
With access to incredibly talented designers, we create skillfully crafted sites that make you stand out from your competition. We run an iterative UI design process which allows you as the client to have input along the design and build journey.
Depending on the size of the project, we precede the development stage by providing you with a clickable prototype, allowing you to 'test drive' the site and ensure it functions as you expect. This ensures you get exactly what you expect and minimises any chance of disappointment.

We define your website requirements and ensure there is a clear plan that we communicate to you on an ongoing basis. While sometimes this can get a bit technical, we aim to make sure we relay it in a way you can easily understand.

David provided great knowledge, support and contacts for us to achieve our desired outcomes. Would highly recommend.
A seamless experience from original concept to going live, Openside Digital were always professional and keen to take on board our specific requirements. I would say Openside Digital has the balance right between offering expertise and listening to the clients' wishes. The end result is an attractive, informative website that achieves the desired image but with other features that go beyond what the layperson would ask for or think of.
Openside has done a fantastic job meeting our needs in a very ambiguous and immature organisation
