Stylescapes are like moodboards on steroids - a curated mix of images, design elements, typography and colour. Stylescapes makes communicating your idea, of your brand, to GummyBear's designers simple. How else do you communicate that you like red? Well what red? Do you mean maroon, scarlet, rose, ruby, crimson, etc.?
Why bother with stylescapes? Because first impressions matter! They provide the opportunity for every visual element of your brand to resonate with your customers, evoking the right emotions, associations and behaviours. Without them you risk mishaps, like looking like a donkey.

Think of wireframes as the grey and boring, yet essential, architectural blueprint of your website. Our high fidelity wireframes (rather than your sketch pad antics), use real content and appropriately scaled images, videos, buttons, etc. providing a precise and practical view of your website's layout. Additionally, functionality drives everything and the wireframe allows us to plan your website visitors user experience (AKA how they use the website), so they can find the information they're looking for, as fast as possible.

Website design is where the real fun begins. Once we've got the blueprint (wireframe) and the creative stylescape sorted, it's time to bring it together and make your site shine.
Why is this so important? Because design is what turns heads and keeps people coming back. It's your brand's personality, charm and charisma all rolled into one. Every colour, font, design element and image is handpicked to make your audience go "Wow!" and keep them engaged.
Think of it like this: your wireframe is the skeleton, the stylescape is the wardrobe, and now we're dressing it up for the big reveal. We're not just building a website; we're crafting an experience that's unforgettable, engaging, and oh-so-you.
Skip this step, and you risk ending up with a digital snooze fest. Nail it, and you've got a showstopper.

Website development is where the behind-the-scenes wizardry gives life to your website design. This is where you get to sit back, fasten your seat belts, put your tray tables in the upright position, and relax as our team of coders/developers work their magic - AKA a bunch of coding that's really boring to look at before the website's finished.
When we're done, you'll have a stunning, polished website that's ready to turn heads and steal the show. It's not just a pretty face, it's an interactive, engaging experience that makes people want to stick around and get to know you.

Although the launch is an exciting milestone, it's nowhere near the end of the work. Websites are dynamic entities that require care and maintenance. Once the site is live you can monitor analytics, make changes to the content and refine your messaging.

Yes, GummyBear offers services for redesigning and updating existing websites.
GummyBear’s process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing website across three key areas:
Website Conversion - GummyBear assesses the customer journey on the website to ensure it effectively prompts visitors to take desired actions, such as making a purchase, submitting an enquiry, or booking an appointment. This evaluation is crucial for optimising conversions as it allows us to identify how visitors navigate the site, pinpoint any obstacles or points of abandonment, and understand the factors influencing their conversion behaviour.
Software Inspection – GummyBear assesses the existing software to ensure that the code is efficient, well-constructed, and free from potential issues or weaknesses. Just like a car requires regular servicing to perform optimally, website software needs continuous updates and maintenance. Our thorough assessment evaluates the extent of any necessary updates or improvements to optimise the software's performance, security, and stability.
SEO Performance – GummyBear conducts a comprehensive analysis of the existing website's SEO performance, taking into account the seven fundamental aspects: trust, relevance, reputation, longevity, identity, consistency, and engagement. GummyBear also compares the website's performance against competitors to identify areas for improvement. Based on the outcome of these assessments, GummyBear will provide suggestions and develop a plan for the next steps for the existing website.
The usual timeline for GummyBear's website design and launch process is 10 to 12 weeks for a 'normal' sized website.
A 'normal' size typically includes a homepage, about page, contact page, case studies page, and services page. However, the exact timeline may vary depending on factors such as the available time from the client and the complexity of the website components, including brand elements like showreels.
To ensure transparency and progress tracking, GummyBear provides a project schedule prior to undertaking a project.
GummyBear also updates this schedule every two weeks to show the progress made and estimate the completion date. These updates are shared through regular project status updates.
It's important to note that during the project, there are certain stages where GummyBear asks the client to take their time.
For example, during the stylescape phase for selecting brand elements, it is important for our clients to make informed decisions. GummyBear prioritises giving clients sufficient time to ensure they get the brand elements right.
