DESIGN
Beautiful and effective design
We adore beautiful design, and we strive to create stunning, captivating and memorable experiences. However, we know that for a design to be effective it must have utility, and it must meet customer and business objectives. A design that doesn't do these things simply doesn't work. Effective design (the best kind of design) is user-centric, effortlessly easy to use, clear, and engaging – a truly satisfying user experience tailored to your target audience and absolutely on brand.
Honeystone uses a mixture of graphical design tools, such as Adobe Illustrator, and ‘in-browser design’. Every project goes through a planning phase starting with requirements gathering, requirements specification and information architecture. This lays the bedrock for your lo-fidelity wireframes, the beginning of the design phase. These wireframes will help us to determine the location of information, and its relative importance within your website or application. We follow this up with graphical designs incorporating key components, and in-browser design to fill in the gaps. Our goal is to understand your brand so well that we can carry it thought even the smallest of tasks without a second thought.

DEVELOPMENT
Experienced software developers
We take an iterative approach to projects, allowing you to make decisions, and adjust to changing requirements, as the project progresses. We utilise version control, issue tracking, test driven development, pair programming and code review to ensure a scaleable and stable codebase.
Honeystone uses modern software development practices and principles to deliver high quality, stable and testable software. We primarily focus on OO (Object Oriented) languages/approaches, but have experience in other paradigms as well. Our projects are always built on high quality foundational frameworks and incorporate stable and well maintained libraries. We do not customise off-the-shelf solutions, install themes or plugins. We will not work with WordPress.
