About Functional Design
Service Design, Product Architecture
Functional design for websites and web applications can take many forms. Regardless of how we slice it, our goal is to cover everything that contributes to the experience.
- Quickly deliver a world-class experience
- Guarantee best practices in building what users want and need
- Ensure everything has been adequately documented, designed, tested and deployed
Start With User Journeys
A user on a journey will touch many elements and components. This includes navigational buttons, text links, text fields, and many more. We slice every journey five ways.
Documentation
- Journey Maps
- Experience, Creative and Technical Briefs
- User Testing Scripts and Results
- Annotated Wireframes
- Architectural Drawings

Personas

Architecture
Describe how every touchpoint in the journey is driven by a complex set of scripts navigating many layers and systems.
