Why We Always Start With Design (And Why You Should Too)

Why We Always Start With Design

Every ARDR website project starts with a Figma mock-up — before a single line of code is written.

This isn't just a preference. It's how we protect your budget and ensure the final product is exactly what you envisioned.

The Problem With Building Blind

When developers build without a signed-off design, changes mid-build are expensive. Moving a section, changing the layout, or redesigning the navigation after it's been coded can cost hours.

Our Process

  1. Discovery call — understand your goals, audience and brand
  2. Figma mock-ups — full visual representation of the website
  3. 2 rounds of amendments — included in every project
  4. Sign-off — you approve the design before we touch code
  5. Build — clean, structured development from the agreed design

This keeps everyone aligned, minimises surprises, and results in a far better final product.
