Very Happy With The Finished Project
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
Project: Ucollege.com.au
Goal: Launch a new online higher education company from scratch.
The Challenge:
We had 3 weeks to deliver the site. The project called for custom Salesforce and Eloqua integration, with campaign setup. We had a target of under 1 second load times. It was critical that all pages, and all functionality be fully responsive across all devices. Going over budget or deadline was not an option.
We Delivered:
We brought the site in within only 2 weeks 4 days and 8 hours. The site was Salesforce and Eloqua integrated, with load times at 1.3 seconds. We also included an A/B testing set up so that the client could continue optimizing the site over time. All of the pages and functionality was fully responsive on all devices and browsers, verified by our QA team. The whole project came in at only 70% of the estimated budget.
Project: Strategic-wealth.net
Goal: Build a coaching membership platform for the finance industry.
The Challenge:
Take over an existing project from another developer, and complete the sales and landing pages. We had to develop a full suite membership / coaching platform, and implement marketing automation with Infusionsoft. Unlike most projects, this one had 3 different principal stakeholders to work with. We also managed the copywriter and content team.
We Delivered:
We worked with our client to create Version 1.0 and 2.0 of the site, including full Infusionsoft and Authorize.net integration. The final version had private messaging, forums and group functionality, plus drip fed content and a multi-level membership system. We also included an easy to use drag and drop CMS interface built on top of WordPress. The site is fully responsive on any device and browser, verified by our QA team.
Project: Liftweightsfaster.com
Goal: Turn an existing web page into a fitness market conversion engine.
The Challenge:
We had a narrow development window, and had to build completely new Clickbank integrated sales pages. Both the sales and content pages both required dynamic elements, for a personalized sitewide user experience. This included dynamic pricing and copy depending on the individual traffic source. Last but not least, we had to increase conversion rates.
We Delivered:
The project was finished on time and budget. All of the sales pages were completed, with both the dynamic pricing and copy elements and Clickbank integration. The entire site was fully responsive on any device and browser, verified by our QA team. And the conversion rates? They were up across the board.
OUR RECENT SUCCESS STORIES
Would You Let The Other Guys Gamble With Your Business?
Not all web developers are created equal. The vast majority are run by designers or software engineers with little mind for business or digital marketing. And for your project, that’s a potentially fatal blind spot.
Because when it comes to achieving your goals…
More leads. More customers. More sales. More efficiency. More profit. They don’t know what works, and what doesn’t. So they pick the prettiest option, or the easiest one to implement. Or worse – the one they’ve always picked.
In short – they guess what to do, and results be damned!
The truly crazy part? Even the most “legitimate” and highly recognizable agencies are guilty of this toxic business practice. It’s an addiction to “guessing” that costs companies like yours money.
Quality Assurance That Puts The Aerospace Industry To Shame
When Boeing or Airbus test a new airliner, they throw everything at it. They’ll freeze the plane to sub-arctic temperatures. Shoot dead chickens into the jet engines, or at the cockpit window. Even blast it with 50-60 kilovolts of electricity.
Because if they screw up, people get hurt.
We do the same thing with your website or native app. We run through dozens of use cases and scenarios with cross-browser, bug and usability testing.
Hours and hours of proving, refining and optimization. Because if your developer screws up, your business gets hurt. We keep you safe.
Not Just A Website, Definitely Not Just A Pretty Picture
You don’t have a website problem. You have a business problem. A problem that can be solved with the careful application of technology, design and marketing know-how. That’s why we have an “eyes on” approach.
Strategists. Marketers. Branding mavens. Copywriters. Developers. Software engineers. Big data scientists. Designers. Graphic artists. Traffic and Conversion experts.
They all have a piece of the puzzle. They all take you closer to your objectives. Our greatest strength? An unmatched ability to bring the right minds together for each and every individual project we agree to tackle.
When we’re done, you don’t get a website. You get a business result.
There’s A Science To This Stuff
Not what might work. Not what once worked. Now what we hope will work. What really really works right now – today – in digital media.
Stuff that you can’t find in any textbook. Concepts we didn’t learn from some design guru’s latest blog post. I’m talking real facts, from real website and native app data.
Numbers on…
Leads / Sales / Engagement / Retention
You name it. We’ve studied it. We know how to make it hum. When we work on your project, that’s what you can expect.
Our Process
STEP 1: RESEARCH
We burrow into your entire business like termites in a damp log cabin. When we’re done we’ll know precisely what you need and how to deliver it on time, and within budget.
STEP 2: DESIGN
For your business, this isn’t an art project. We take the latest usability, conversion and marketing science then use it to design interfaces that perform.
STEP 3: APPROVAL
This is the first big reveal of your future website or native app. Once you confirm we’ve met all your requirements and sign off on the design we start building
STEP 4: DEVELOPMENT
We burrow into your entire business like termites in a damp log cabin. When we’re done we’ll know precisely what you need and how to deliver it – on time, and within budget.
STEP 5: TESTING
Web and app development is a finicky process. A lot of tightly connected parts have to work together without breaking, or bugging out. Our rigorous testing helps ensure success.
STEP 6: FINAL APPROVAL
We walk you through every nook and cranny of the finished product. Show you every feature, bell and whistle. So you can see that we’ve met all your requirements.
STEP 7: MIGRATION
Time to take possession. You get the car, the keys and the owner’s manual. Everything you need to successfully launch and manage your website or native app.
STEP 8: LAUNCH
Picture yourself at Cape Canaveral for the launch of Apollo 11, watching Neil Armstrong blast off toward the moon. On launch day we’ll do that for your business.
STEP 9: SUPPORT
We walk you through every nook and cranny of the finished product. Show you every feature, bell and whistle. So you can see that we’ve met all your requirements.
HOW WE WORK
You Tell Us Your Goals, We Help You Achieve Them
Once we know what you’re trying to achieve, and what you require from your solution – we can map it out for you. Everything from day zero to final delivery. It’s about making your business goals inevitable.
We Make Decisions Based on What Works, Not On Opinion
And while we definitely take your branding guidelines to heart; we won’t argue over personal design preferences. Like, not at all. Not even once.
I know. I know. You have stakeholders who want to be heard. We get that. Here’s the problem. Opening a project up to design by committee is almost always a costly and time consuming mistake. It can and does kill websites.
Our first design will represent our best hypothesis about what will work. Will it have room for improvement? Maybe. But the only way to prove or improve upon it is through real human testing, traffic and optimization.
Fortunately, we’re very good at that stuff too.
A Collaborative Relationship With Our Partners
Then at every stage of development, from design to launch – we invite your feedback. Ensuring we’re delivering on your requirements, and producing something you love.
This collaboration is vital. That’s why it’s SO important that our prospective partners be a strong fit – with personalities who we will enjoy working and being creative with.
We have to absolutely insist on that last point. Without it, we cannot produce our best work.
We Will Not Be A Good Fit For You If
Our Services are Perfect For You If
WE ONLY WORK WITH 3 PARTNERS PER MONTH
Quality requires sacrifice
That’s speed distilled. Only 15 of this $1.56 million supercar were ever produced. All 15 were sold out before it officially went on sale. Before the first chassis was laid in the Lamborghini workshop.Hedge fund managers. Saudi princes. European royalty.
They all tried to bribe their way into a 16th Reventón. Offering vast sums of money over and above the already steep ticket price. Numbers representing a potential profit windfall.
Every single one of them was turned down. Lamborghini gets sacrifice. So do we. That’s why we only take on a maximum of 3 new clients per month, and sometimes none at all if our workshop is full.
Our minimum team for any project includes…
- 1 Developer / Software Engineer
- 1 Project Manager / Web Strategist
- 1 Trained ConversionXL Designer
- 1 Quality Assurance Analyst
On larger projects, the team size grows. Occasionally our entire shop will be busy handcrafting a solution for a single client, and our doors are closed. We do this for a simple reason…
We want our client partners to know that when they hit the ignition on their new website, they’ll hit their objectives faster than with the competition.
If you’d like to experience that for yourself, you need to apply now.
