Six ways we help
you get online.

Each engagement starts with your goals and constraints, so the recommendation you get is based on what you need — not on a fixed package.

Selected work

Concepts built to show
how we think.

Three demonstration concepts — a business website, an e-commerce store and a restaurant site. Each one is labelled as a concept, never presented as a real client project.

View all concepts

These are illustrative concepts created by NAODev, not delivered client projects. We never present invented work as real — if you would like references relevant to your sector, ask and we will share what we are able to. 5 concepts in total.

Why NAODev

What you can actually
rely on.

These are the things we genuinely control on your project — how it gets built, how it performs, and how you are kept informed while it happens.

Custom-built solutions

No recycled template with your logo dropped in. The structure, sections and interactions are designed around what your business actually needs to say and do.

Modern and responsive design

Every layout is designed mobile-first and checked at phone, tablet and desktop sizes — because that is where the majority of your visitors are.

Clear communication

You always know what is being worked on, what we need from you, and what happens next. No long stretches of silence in the middle of a project.

Tailored to your requirements

Scope follows your needs rather than a fixed package list. If something is not necessary for your project, we tell you — and if something is missing, we flag it early.

Performance-conscious development

Fast pages are a design decision, not an afterthought. Lean assets, sensible images and minimal client-side JavaScript keep your site quick on real connections.

Support throughout the project

You are not handed off to a support queue after signing. The same people who build your site stay involved through review, launch and handover.

How we work

A clear path from idea to launch

Five stages, each with a defined purpose and a clear outcome. You always know which stage the project is in, what is needed from you, and what you will get at the end of it.

Full process detail
  1. 01

    Discovery

    Understanding your business and goals.

    We start by understanding what you do, who you do it for, and what you want the website to achieve. This is where we ask the questions that shape everything that follows.

    →What this stage covers
    • Conversation about your business, customers and competitors
    • Review of your current website, if you have one
    • Goals, priorities and any technical constraints
    • Agreement on scope, rough budget range and timing

    Outcome: A written summary of what the website needs to do, agreed before any design work begins.

  2. 02

    Planning

    Defining structure, features and direction.

    With the goals clear, we map out the site: which pages exist, what sits on each one, how visitors move through them, and what needs to be technically possible.

    →What this stage covers
    • Site map and page-by-page content outline
    • Wireframes showing the layout of each page
    • Feature list and technical approach
    • Milestones, deliverables and review points

    Outcome: A plan you can review, so you know exactly what you are approving before design starts.

  3. 03

    Design

    Creating a visual experience for your brand.

    This is where the site takes shape. We design the visual system — colour, type, spacing and components — and apply it to real pages rather than showing isolated mock-ups.

    →What this stage covers
    • Visual direction based on your brand and audience
    • Full page designs for desktop and mobile
    • Reusable components and interaction states
    • Iterative review rounds with written feedback

    Outcome: Approved designs showing how the finished site will look and behave, page by page.

  4. 04

    Development

    Building, testing and refining.

    We build the site properly: responsive, accessible, fast, and structured so it can be maintained later. You get a working preview as we go, not a mock-up.

    →What this stage covers
    • Responsive build against the approved designs
    • Content, forms and integrations wired up
    • Cross-device testing and accessibility checks
    • Review stage with fixes before launch

    Outcome: A fully working, tested site ready to go live — with the remaining items listed openly.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Going live, with handover and support.

    We publish the site, check that everything works on the real domain, and hand it over with the documentation and support you need to run it confidently.

    →What this stage covers
    • Deployment and domain configuration
    • Post-launch checks across devices and browsers
    • Handover walkthrough and written documentation
    • Agreed support or maintenance arrangement

    Outcome: A live website plus a clear understanding of how to use, update and get help with it.
