We design & develop websites that deliver results

Website Design & Development

We don’t do websites that look like someone puked up a rainbow 🌈

We are on a mission to make the web a better place. Our aim is to create simple and effective websites that inform and convert. Your website is a window to the world, and we are here to ensure your visitors get the best view.

Blue Beetle was founded with a deep conviction that mixing creativity, technology, and empathy can change behaviour and improve how we live, work, and play.

This combination is infused into our approach, helping us empower brands large and small to understand better and communicate with (not at) their audiences.

We believe iteration is the best way to build a product that lasts. We utilise a lean approach, taking an idea from the drawing board to a minimum viable product (MVP) quickly.

Our team of digital experts ensure a custom platform with the flexibility to respond to changing markets, new technologies and the needs of your users.

‍Genius is 99% iteration.

Our Secret Sauce

The D6 Web Development Process

D6 - Step 1

Discover

This is the most crucial step in our process: listening to you.

‍The foundation of any great web design project is built through understanding where you’re currently at and where you want to be. We gather information about your business, target customer, competitive environment and your biggest goals to create a benchmark website that is uniquely yours.

Define

We have your goals; now it’s time to get dirty.

We collaborate with you to determine the best strategy for your website to make an emotional connection with your ideal customer. Every headline and its supporting content should be written with intention, each call-to-action crafted to drive conversion, and every detail honed to deliver on your goals.

Design

Great design is more than just aesthetics.

It can change how we feel about a company and its products and services. We employ thoughtful web design principles to create a meaningful experience for your brand and its customers. Mood boards, wireframes and prototypes are developed to aid visualisation, followed by design mock-ups of the final product with pixel-perfect details.

Develop

Knowledge is power.

Like building with brick and mortar, well-written website code makes all the difference in whether the result will stand the test of time and, of course, all the various browsers and screen sizes. We develop custom websites and web applications on multiple platforms to provide you with the best fit for your project’s functionality.

Deploy

It’s time to launch your website, build momentum and move mountains.

This is where all the blood, sweat and tears begin to pay off. We finalise the product, run the last checklists and tick off the remaining QA tasks before launching it into the world wide web. Break out the champagne; let’s celebrate!
