Process
A clear process from brief to launch.
Each project begins with the business case, audience and decisions the website must support. We then shape the structure, content, interface and technical build in practical stages. You can see what is being decided, who owns it and what comes next, with senior involvement kept close throughout.
Clear start
Once the scope is agreed, the work begins with clear priorities, milestones and review points.
Practical stages
Larger or more complex requests are divided into practical stages so decisions stay manageable and progress remains visible.
01
Understand the brief
We start with the business, the audience and the decisions the website or brand needs to support. This gives the team a shared view of the problem before solutions are proposed.
02
Define the direction
Positioning, priorities, page structure and success criteria are agreed early, so the creative and technical work has a clear purpose.
03
Design and build
The interface, content and technical build develop in focused stages with regular reviews, keeping feedback useful and decisions manageable.
04
Review and refine
Key journeys, responsive layouts, content, accessibility and performance are checked together, then refined against the agreed brief.
05
Launch and improve
We support implementation, complete launch checks and leave a practical plan for measurement, maintenance and future improvements.

We recently worked with Dave and his team for a full website re-design. The end result is fantastic—professional, clean, and exactly what we needed to move the business forward.
Dave is an absolute pleasure to work with and we are absolutely delighted with the website delivered. Excellent advice and creative guidance along with fantastic communication and quick turnaround. I would highly recommend Brainstorm for your upcoming site design.

Working with Dave Curtin of Brainstorm made the process of designing our website very smooth and enjoyable... With baking and food, we are trying to portray the smell, texture, taste and memories our products create, and Dave captured that concept very well.

Your project is led by founder and Creative Director Dave Curtin, supported by the senior specialists responsible for strategy, design and development. There is no separate account-management layer.
Yes. Most of our website work begins with an existing site that no longer fits the business. We identify what should be retained, rewritten, restructured or retired before the new design begins.
Yes. We can connect positioning, visual identity, voice, UX and website delivery so the brand and site work as one system. When existing branding should be retained, we design within it carefully.
Yes. We build maintainable CMS structures in WordPress, Webflow or Framer where appropriate, then provide training and practical guidance so your team can publish routine content without relying on a developer for every change.
We review the product range, customer journey, content, checkout requirements, analytics and operational constraints before design. For WooCommerce or Shopify projects, the goal is a clear, manageable store that supports conversion without adding unnecessary complexity.
Every website includes technical SEO foundations such as crawlable structure, metadata templates, redirects, sitemap configuration, performance checks and analytics. Search performance also depends on competition, content and authority, so we never guarantee a particular ranking.
Projects are quoted as a fixed fee based on strategy, content, functionality and technical scope. Once discovery is complete, you receive a clear proposal that explains what is included, what is optional and what your team needs to provide.
Most business websites take 6-8 weeks. More complex e-commerce or platform projects generally take 10-12 weeks. You will see progress in focused stages rather than waiting for a final reveal.
We can work with supplied content, improve existing content or write new website copy where needed. Content responsibilities are agreed early so the design is built around real messaging, not placeholder text.
Availability depends on current project commitments and the scope of work. If the project is a good fit, we will confirm the earliest practical start date and the steps needed to keep momentum once work begins.
You work directly with Dave Curtin and a small team of senior specialists. The people shaping the strategy stay close to design and technical delivery, so context is retained, decisions move faster and the work remains accountable.
