how we work.

The web is for everyone. Considering accessibility when designing your website enables everyone, no matter the disability, to interact with and contribute to the web. We design for the diverse set of users that will interact with your product, this includes people who are blind, colour-blind, deaf or have mobility issues. For the young and the old. We embrace accessibility guidelines (WCAG) as a set of design constraints and use them to push the limits of our creativity.

Accessibility is not a step in your project. Accessibility is a mindset; it is embedded in everything we do.

74% of web traffic comes from a device that isn’t a computer. When designing your website or digital product we consider the user journey first, focusing on what is the best experience no matter the device or screen size.

We believe in spending time to ensure we are providing the right solution to the right problems. At the beginning of a project we sit down together and surface high level functionality requirements, project expectations, deliverables and timelines. This enables us to plan a roadmap for your project, recommend the best tech-stack and estimate costs.

Strategic thought guides our recommendations and ensures we work cohesively towards a common goal. Leveraging our expertise, we evaluate how your core requirements are translated into your digital product. Identifying issues, risks and opportunities and optimising these create maximum scalability, performance and efficiency.

We are firm believers in the collective brain. At Butterfly we have a team of highly skilled individuals who work out problems and solutions as a group. This extends to you and your team, and the expertise and knowledge of your business you bring to the table. This approach results in better, business fit solutions.

The Butterfly 10 commandments of coding ensures that all code is architected and created to strict best practice, and has undergone rigorous testing across a range of environments.
