website design
It's a professional process
We are very much a design led practice, believing that good design practice is not so much a discipline but an overall way of doing things. Whether you are setting up internal administration systems to track a client's work or writing a meticulous story board for a 'state of the art' flash presentation it is all about the design process - preparing and gathering information and materials, planning and identifying, building, refining and producing a product that works the way it is supposed to.
The detail is in the design
The need for design is often debated. We see it as essential to delivering the results that everybody wants - great design = great sales. We aren't talking just about the pretty front and a good banner - we are talking about the 'all tied together detail' of a website - top to bottom - thought and consideration goes into producing everything - clear and easy to use navigation and menus, clear buttons, signposting and rollovers.

About budgets
Naturally there is a heirarchy of priorities, generally we put driving sales at the top, sales are the oxygen and the life blood of a website. Everything costs time and money, and a great site can take a great deal of time.
The Hammer approach to this is to take a clear brief and that brief includes the budget - with a clear indication of what is on the table, so to speak, we can deliver the design you want - the design you need to do the business and if you budget this year isn't enough we can phase work, prioritise and roll out a programmme so that you get work you can build on cost effectively.
