work process

No project is exactly the same but most of them go through 3 stages from first contact to succesful launch.

Introduction

project details, our proposal, term and conditions, contract

Creative

research, sketch, wireframe, design

Build

develop, code, test

The story of a successful web project usually starts with the “Project description form” (available on this page) where you can tell us what you need and when you need it. We respond with our proposal where we describe what we can offer and how much it costs.

We also supply our terms and conditions which contain information such as payment terms (this may vary, but the most common practice is to have payments broken down into four instalments with the first 25% payable at the beginning of the project and the last upon project completion). When we agree on the terms, the contract is signed.

These first steps are an important part of any project as they ensure that the expectations are set correctly and no uncertainties and misunderstandings get in the way of creative work.

When the foundation has been laid, we move to pen and paper. Yes, we start the old-fashioned way, drawing, sketching, and doodling. We go through all the material you provided and do our own research. We ask questions and discuss ideas with you. It is important that our clients are involved in the process so we use an online collaboration system called Podio to make it really convenient for all involved. We think of Podio as our online office space. Thanks to this system, you will always know how your project is going and can check on the progress. Maybe you haven’t used Podio yet, but we promise you will feel at home there. Just bring your own coffee.

From paper to digital form – from design concepts and wireframes we move to the final product. Once we agree on the direction of design and features, you will get to sit back, relax and enjoy watching your project come to life.

We are working hard to make the process of creating your website as simple and as understandable as it can be. We will explain our work, our decisions and recommendations in a simple, jargonless manner. We often get asked: “How can we make this work without being in same room (town, time zone, country, continent)?”, the answer is: “That’s what we do best.” The ability to send the right message using only Internet tools is why you are hiring us. We use our knowledge to make communication with you simple and effortless, as well as helping you to communicate with your clients in the same way.

Aligator Studio Timeline

Ana Adam Širola

Long story short:

Life-long computer geek whose destiny was sealed the moment her father brought home a ZX Spectrum computer. Her second passion was drawing, so a career in web design came naturally to her. Ana is a compulsive list maker and an extremely outdoorsy type who likes to relax experimenting with new recipes in her kitchen.

Alen Širola

Long story short:

Officially he is the art professor. Less officially he is a designer, developer, professional musician, composer and a few other things. It may not be so strange for one person to have so many professions in one lifetime, but one does wonder how he managed to be actually good at all of them at the same time. Except at being a professor – he is no good at that one.
