Your website needs to support specific functions, users and business processes. From eCommerce and integrations to content management and custom functionality, the development approach should reflect what the project actually needs. That’s how Dynamite approaches Web Development: understand the job first, then build what the website actually needs.
Â
We’re a web development company with the technical expertise to turn ambitious requirements into websites that work smoothly in the real world.
Websites can have a lot happening beneath the surface. Great development brings a website design to life with purpose, from the functionality people use to the systems, performance and technical detail supporting it behind the scenes. At Dynamite, these are the things we think make all the difference.
Every business asks something different of its website. We start with what yours needs to do, then make the development decisions around those requirements, giving us the freedom to build straightforward functionality, complex features and everything in between.
Development is where the designed experience becomes real. Layouts need to respond properly, interactions need to behave as intended and the finer details need to hold up across screens, so the finished website feels like the one everyone signed off on.
Custom functionality can involve plenty of moving parts. We keep the build deliberate, using the code, tools and dependencies the project genuinely calls for and keeping the underlying setup as clean as the job allows.
Your website may need to connect with payment platforms, booking tools, CRM systems, marketing software or other services your business relies on. We develop those connections as part of the wider build, so the website and the systems around it can work together properly.
Performance, security and technical SEO all have foundations in development. We account for them while the website is being built, giving its content and functionality a solid technical base from the outset.
A website has to work beyond the ideal conditions of a design file or development environment. We pay attention to responsive behaviour, functional states, browsers, devices and the less-visible details that determine how solid the finished experience feels once real people start using it.
Website development pricing comes down to the work required to build the right functionality and make all the moving parts work together.
eCommerce requirements, integrations, custom features, content management and existing systems can all change the scope. Greater complexity means more development time, planning and testing, which is precisely why we only price a project once we understand what the finished website actually needs to handle.
Web Development is where the website stops being a design and starts working. The approved designs give the build its structure, interface and intended experience. Development handles the behaviour, functionality and technical requirements needed to deliver that experience in the live site.
At Dynamite, these two disciplines stay interlinked when a project involves both. That means the people designing the experience and the people building it can work through functionality and technical requirements together as the project develops.
Once we know what your website needs to do, we work through the build in five clear stages. Each one keeps the brief, the design and the technical requirements aligned as the project moves from plan to functioning website.
We start with the requirements: what the website needs to do, what functionality it needs, what content it needs to handle and which systems it needs to connect with. Getting that scope clear upfront gives the rest of the build a solid starting point.
Before development begins, we plan the technical approach around the project. That includes the platform, functionality, integrations and other technical decisions needed to turn the approved scope and design into a working website.
This is where the website comes together. We develop the pages, functionality, responsive behaviour, integrations and content management required by the project, keeping the build closely aligned with the approved design as we go.
We test the website’s functionality, responsive behaviour and key journeys across relevant browsers and devices, while checking areas such as performance, security and accessibility. Anything that needs attention gets worked through before launch.
Once the website is approved and ready to go, we prepare it for launch and take it live. We then make sure your team has what it needs to manage the site, with documentation, training and ongoing Maintenance support available where required.
We’ll let our clients take it from here.
The brands we work with tend to have high standards. We like it that way. The best way to understand what it’s like to work with Dynamite is to hear from the people who already have.
Their expertise and commitment to quality have consistently exceeded expectations. They take the time to understand our brand and vision, translating it into a seamless, user-friendly website that perfectly meets our needs.
