Growth-Driven Design.

A website design process that takes away the stress and delivers results. Your website is too important to only develop once every few years.

The traditional way is broken.

The traditional way of designing websites includes a frustrating three to six month design period, a launch which is usually a let down because it's based on assumptions and a site which doesn't improve until your next full re-design three to four years later.

You need an agile process.

Growth-Driven Design (GDD) is different because it’s an agile website design process which allows for a quick launch and continuous improvements based on data.

State of play: GDD vs traditional web design

Why is the GDD process better for marketers like you?

Better results.

Let’s face it. All your boss cares about is the results and that’s where GDD comes into its own. GDD is based on real user data and becomes better over time as we learn where the points of friction are and what users really need. With GDD, results really do outshine traditional web design.

You can see below the typical difference in visitors, leads and revenue from GDD vs traditional web design…

A less frustrating process.

Because you know everything's happening for a reason.

As well as the results, we know marketers like you care about the process - after all, it’s you who needs to manage to process and expectations internally.

With GDD, you can get a website live in 30-60 days, typically four times faster than traditional web design. That means we get to launch much faster; the pressure is off you and we can start improving the site - rather than waiting around.

Spread the cost. Remove the risk.

Rather than paying out the full fee for the website on completion (or even before), with GDD, the cost is spread over a longer time period.

With GDD, you’ll pay an initial fee to cover the strategy meetings and the launchpad website, but this is typically only 30-40% what you would pay out with traditional website design. Then you pay a small continuous improvement fee each month. In the long run, you may pay more, but the results will speak for themselves. You get a website that continually improves using measurable data without losing leads and customer interest.

For you, this strategy means it is much easier to budget. Instead of going to your boss and asking for a big, one-off pot of money for a website build every two to four years, you can budget in a modest ongoing cost instead.

What exactly is the GDD process?

The GDD process can be broken down into three distinct stages: blueprint, build the engine and performance tuning.

1. The blueprint.

Here we develop an empathetic understanding of your audience's world and how the website can solve problems along their journey.

2. Build the engine (launchpad).

Quickly build a website that looks and performs better than what you have today, but is not a final product. Rather, your Launch Pad is the foundation on which to build and optimise from.

3. Performance tuning.

With traditional web design, how often do you make impactful improvements to your website? 40% of marketers only make impactful improvements to their website once or less per year (based on responses from a 2016 Hubspot survey).
