Web Design and project management
At Surf Interactive our broad aim is to provide new and existing clients with top notch design, capable of delivering the requirements of the
design brief. Unlike many web design firms, we are not print designers who have stepped onto the band wagon of website design. We have in fact
been involved with the web since it's commercial inception in the 90's and know the medium of the Internet very well indeed.
We are aware of different approaches to web design and web coding in order to maximise your new website's conformity with your design brief,
and indeed have pioneered approaches of our own, and continue to do so. Whether you need optimum search engine visibility, maximum visual
impact, user friendly or 1-click navigation, complex and bespoke functionality via rich interfaces, database integration or a combination of all
of these factors, we'll hit the mark.
Surf Interactive offer a personal service. Whilst we do have packages available for quick and easy projects, we mainly offer bespoke services, consultancy and design in order to achieve what YOU need, not something which has been bent, moulded or cut down in order to meet your requirements. Your goals become our aim, and your unique presence as a company will be reflected in the final output.

Project Brief
The project brief is the bible of the web design world, and so writing an accurate and comprehensive design brief is a must for any project,
large or small. We are available to help author your design brief, identify your requirements, offer realistic choices and bring all of the
elements together into a concise, well ordered document. Spending extra time honing your design brief can save money - some times lots of money,
as the potential for re-writing parts of a website which does not work as well as expected or needs to perform better than the initial brief
allows, is vastly reduced.
Typical Design flow
Within any given website development or website design, there are many technical
elements to consider, but in design terms a typical design flow would work like this:
- Consult with the client and attain an understanding of what is required
- Design the project brief
- Produce initial proposals and develop initial design concept(s)
- Proof design concept(s) and develop until the client is pleased with the output
- Produce a working template from the final concept, and proof/hone until complete
- Produce any template variations the website may require + proof
- Flow in the content
- Final proofing of website look and feel
- Produce finalised version 1 of website
Your website design
Every website design project we take on is considered as a new and unique entity. You will receive a design which is unique to you, designed for
you and that has been influenced by you.
Following and often running concurrently with the website design, will be the website development to cover any elements required within the website code itself. Whilst your website design will give your website a face, the code behind it is the brain of the system.
