A website is not a brochure with navigation. It is the place where interest either converts or evaporates, and most sites lose people not because they are ugly but because they are unclear — a visitor cannot establish quickly enough what this is, whether it is for them, and what to do next. Design that looks impressive while failing that test is expensive decoration.
We build from the job the site has to do. That means mapping the journeys people actually take rather than the structure the organisation is arranged in, designing a system of components rather than a set of pages so the site can grow without drifting, and treating speed and accessibility as design constraints rather than a clean-up task at the end. Then we keep optimising, because the first version is a hypothesis.
