How: Method & Process

Every process is a continuum of effort. Every effort has a place in the process, and every outcome is the result of the process. The process better be sound.

Plan -> Action
Think -> Do
Concept -> Design

We believe that highest level of results, and the lowest level of stress, is achieved when a process and expectations are most clearly laid out before hand. Regardless of which service or range of service you are using FoxDot for, you can expect a process that will follow very closely to the one here. For an engagement that utilizes several of our services, there will most likely be a process like this for each:

Program Brief: A summary of the expectations of the work to be performed. Usually provided by the client in the form of a request for quote or something similar.

Quotation: A response to the program brief with an estimate of the schedule and cost of performing the work in question

Contract: The agreed upon detail of the work to be performed

Assessment & Research: The initial fact-find process of determining who's who, what's what, and establishing a direction plus or minus 90 degrees.

Concept & Design: This can take the form of a rough draft report or outline, prototype, or some other similar deliverable to aid in communication between all parties involved. This stage will involve elements such as identity and brand integration goals and expectations.

Feedback / Review / Revise: This is an iteration of the results gained from the initial design phase that will be worked into the next step.

Design Refinement: This stage can take the form of a physical prototype, a beta release of a site, or a rough comp or design.

Feedback: Feedback is collected and integrated into the design process from the refinement stage. Depending on the work being performed the process may iterate back to perform one or more stages of design before moving on to the final design.

Final Design Review: This is where you review and sign off that FoxDot has met or exceeded your expectations for the work we've done for you.

Final Design: This is the final result of the process or the final deliverable
