Fire Squared was started out of a desire to change the perception of having a website as being 'just a thing you do' and address the very real difficulties businesses have creating, managing and growing their sites.
Our aim at Fire Squared is to create websites that have purpose, be it to inform visitors, sell products or make bookings online, for example. Alongside that, we believe your site must be easy to edit and update as your business develops and be flexible enough to be expanded as your business grows.
If this sounds like your idea of what your website should be, why not book a discovery call and we can discuss your project.
Book a Discovery CallRight from the start, we set up your project space where you can view progress, ask questions and suggest ideas throughout the process. This collaborative approach is fundamental to the way we work and is how we go about achieving your project’s goals and ensuring you end up happy.
Our websites are designed to be effective tools for your business and exquisite experiences for your customers. Our focus is on bespoke sites that are easy to use, easy to manage and easy on the eyes!
At the start of every project we find out as much as we can about your business, your target audience and the goals and objectives of the website. We work with you to determine these through research, questions for you and taking a look at past analytics.The more we know at this stage, the better the final design will be for both your business and the website's users.
This part of the process is focused on the website's users and how we can tailor a unique user journey by understand the type of people they are and what they are trying to achieve by visiting your website. Typical user objectives include information gathering, booking an event or buying a product. The structure is informed by the expected user journey.
The previous stages have all been leading up to this. We combine the research, the user journey and your brand to design a website that is super-easy to use, effective and representative of your business in both the looks and the tone. This is done through key page template designs and styleguide creation that will be used across the website.
During the build stage we typically create a low fidelity prototype that can be iterated upon throughout the process. This approach keeps the development flexible and allows improvements to be made without having to resort to large-scale changes that can slow down the development.
While the build stage has testing built in, that's not the end of it. We'll do final testing for usability, browser support and performance. Using a variety of tools and methods, we'll check that users can easily use the site to achieve their goals. This can include A/B testing, click tracking and user surveys.
Once all of the testing and tweaking has been completed, we publish the site from Staging to Production. Editors are set up on the CMS and we arrange training with you to make sure you know how to update content and add new pages, among other things. As part of our commitment to you, the included hosting also adds an hour of support time each month.
