The Design Process

How we work

At Livewire we take care to ensure that we understand the brief fully, and that you the client are involved every step of the way. Good communication underpins successful design, and before any dcreative work begins we take the time to clarify all aspects of your project: audience, messaging, objectives, timescales and costs.

The design process

Through our experience we have developed a tried-and-tested design process that provides a clear structure within which creative ideas can flourish:

Client area

The lifespan of a web project can sometimes cover several months. To help keep everyone in the loop and ensure things don't get lost, we also upload all our design work and supporting documentation to an online client area.
