Your business goals. Our website know-how.
Everything we do has your individual business goals and desired customer journey at its centre. These are crucial to your growth.
Your website is more than clever words and pretty pictures. It’s an online home for your business. A storefront, a hub for your customers. A place to inform, excite and sell. In short, a website has a purpose.
At Figment, we make that purpose our priority. From discovering your aims and helping you shape your vision, to measuring performance through analytics, we take your goals and turn them into a highly successful reality.

Our Web Design & Development Process.
1. Discovery
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. So we’ll start by getting to know you and your business, as well as the goals we’re trying to achieve. And with our wider marketing experience, we’re happy to get involved and help you clarify your vision.
2. Design
No ready-made themes. No familiar templates. We’ll hand craft a design that’s tailored for the task at hand, then build an interactive prototype that lets you see your design in action. Through two rounds of proofing, it’s here that we create an unforgettable experience for your customers.
3. Development
Building on the foundation of WordPress®, we’ll bring our designs to life in a mobile-friendly site that’s intuitive, elegant, and efficient. We can also populate your website with stunning photography and expert copy that engages, informs, and persuades your visitors. All from a dedicated UK team (no overseas outsourcing) and best practice development at every stage.
4. Deployment
Following our robust quality assurance and testing process, we’ll launch your website in as little as three months. We’ll also guide you through the process of updating content or making changes over time, acting as long-term partners for your website – and your business.
5. Digital Marketing
On the internet, no website can be an island. Once your website is live, we can become your partners for ongoing digital marketing to drive traffic and put your business in the spotlight – from Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) to social media management and strategic consultancy. All from a team that already knows your business and your website in-depth.
