Before anything gets designed, we research the client's business, competitors, and audience. This is where a project gets its footing — every decision that follows traces back to something we learned here, not a guess.
Our Process
The MESH Build Process
Six stages. Every custom-coded MESH project runs through the same disciplined pipeline, from first research to final deployment — regardless of what platform the site lands on.
Not every MESH project needs this. A site built on a strong template with the right customization can be the right call, and we make that call honestly when it is. But when a project calls for something built from the ground up, this is the six-stage process behind it — the same every time, with the platform it lands on being the one thing that changes depending on what the client actually needs.
01 / Discover
R&D.
02 / Map
Flowchart.
We translate that research into a flowchart — the pages, the user paths, how information actually needs to flow. Structure gets settled before a single pixel is placed, which is what keeps a site from being redesigned mid-build.
03 / Wireframe
Wireframes.
Every page gets laid out in wireframe form — layout, hierarchy, and content priority, without color or type to distract from whether the structure actually works.
04 / Design
UI design.
Once the structure is proven, we design it — typography, color, imagery, and the visual identity that makes the site unmistakably the client's own, not a template wearing their logo.
05 / Build
Bootstrap.
The approved design gets hand-coded in the latest HTML/CSS with Bootstrap. This is what gives a site pixel-level control and performance a page-builder plugin can't match.
06 / Deploy
Platform.
The finished build goes to whichever platform actually fits the client — most often a custom WordPress theme, so the client can manage content without touching code, occasionally a standalone build when that's the better fit for how the site will be used.

Have something worth building right?
If your project calls for something built from scratch, this is the process it'll go through — every time.
