❋ Process

While no two jobs are alike, a typical process might go something like this:

1. Discovery

Many projects benefit from a robust phase in which we can work together to articulate your goals, discuss strategy, research options and create a plan.

2. Design

For some projects, I can do the design myself. For more involved projects or those requiring a rebrand, I will bring on a designer to work with us to make your site beautiful.

3. Build

I use modern development practices and technologies to turn the designs into a performant, accessible site. I emphasize solutions that keep things simple and maintainable for the long term.

4. Launch

A good launch involves finalizing content entry, thorough QA, and a smooth go-live process.

5. Post-Launch

I am committed to your project's long-term success and am happy to provide post-launch maintenance, upgrades, support, training, documentation and bug fixes.

❋

Any of the above stages can be de-coupled from the rest of the process. I have been brought in on many projects just to do the "build" phase, and am a willing and communicative collaborator as part of a larger team.

❋ About

AHWD is a small web development studio run by Alex Harris. My career experience has helped me understand how to make compelling websites come to life. As a developer at Cast Iron Coding I helped build sites for clients and then train and support them in their ongoing use. As the Web Editor and Electronic Communications Manager at UC Berkeley’s BAMPFA I hired and worked with contractors, as well as the museum's many departments, to achieve BAMPFA'S strategic and technical communications goals. As a freelancer over the past 5 years, I have brought these experiences together to inform an effective and results oriented process.

This site was built using the Eleventy static site generator. The logo uses the Socko font. Header font is Instrument.
