Krows Digital and you
We help brands build memorable, conversion-focused, future-proofed, corporate websites and e-commerce stores.
Digital Strategy, Web Design, Content Creation, Visual Asset Creation, Brand Guides, Web Development, WordPress Websites, Shopify Websites, 3rd Party Integrations.
We partner with brands to plan, execute, and measure improvements for their existing websites.
01
We care about the impact our work has on your business or organization—not how it looks in our portfolio or in an award showcase.
02
We ensure each one of our clients has an outstanding customer experience. Expect responses in hours—not days.
03
We view our engagements as relationships—not vendor agreements. In addition to what we produce, we also educate our customers on digital best practices along the way.
Understand your business, your business goals, your customers and their expectations and behavior, and how your website factors into all of it.
Once we’re armed with this information, we’ll set to work sketching out interface layouts, including the home page, sub page, and any additional layouts needed.
Next, we'll start to work on making your design a reality by building the site using standards-based technology. CMS like WordPress, Shopify or from scratch with HTML, CSS, and jQuery, we will do as you request.
We'll test the website in a variety of browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9. We'll also test the responsive design on iPhone and Android devices. We'll test the functionality of the site to ensure there are no errors or broken links and then hand it over to you for review on a test server. You'll have a few rounds of minor revisions or tweaks to the site.
Once you’ve tested the website and are happy with its functionality, we’ll point your domain over to the new site. Launch time!
