This is where the ideas from Stage 1 get put to the test. We build an initial draft version of the site on our private testing server, so you’ll be given full access to the site as it’s coming together. It’s not about the final polish yet; it’s about testing feasibility, ensuring the mechanics work, kicking the tyres and seeing how the site feels in the palm of your hand.
Draft Build
What Happens in This Phase?
Functional Prototyping: We build the ‘engine’ of the site to make sure the custom post types, plugins, and integrations are playing nicely together.
Mobile & UX Stress-Testing: We get the site onto actual phones and tablets. We want to see how the navigation feels and make sure the user journey is as smooth in practice as it was on paper.
Feasibility Check: If a specific idea from Stage 1 isn’t hitting the mark in the real world, we pivot here. It’s about finding the most robust way to achieve that awesome vision.
Client Review: You get access to the testing server. We want your honest feedback on the flow and functionality while the build is still in the wet clay stage.
Phase Deliverables
Access to Private Testing Server: A working draft of the site for you to explore.
UX/Mobile Review Report: A summary of how the site is performing across different devices.
Refined Functional Plan: Any necessary tweaks to the strategy based on real-world testing.
