A website design engagement with defined phases, real checkpoints, and a site your team can run after launch.
Research, architecture, visual design, and build support, delivered in a process your stakeholders can follow.
A website project shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. Temper And Forge runs a process where you see every step.
Our Website Design Process
01
Kickoff, research, and definition
The engagement opens with stakeholder interviews, audience research, and a definition of what success means for the business. You approve the goals and success measures before any design begins, so every later decision has something concrete to be judged against.
02
Structure, wireframes, and sign-off
We deliver the sitemap, user journeys, and wireframes for every key template, then walk your team through the reasoning. Structural sign-off happens here, because changing a wireframe costs minutes and changing a finished design costs weeks.
03
Visual design in review cycles
Templates are designed in agreed batches with scheduled review cycles, so feedback lands early and often rather than in one giant reveal. You always know what's being designed now, what's next, and where the project stands against the timeline.
04
Build support and post-launch review
We deliver complete specifications, support the build through QA, and review the live site against the goals set at kickoff. Thirty days after launch we look at real user behavior together and recommend the first round of refinements.
Our team
The designers behind the site.
Designers who present the reasoning with the layout, so approvals happen on evidence instead of taste.

We were rebranding to a new name and needed a website to reflect our updated identity. Temper And Forge built our site using WordPress, matching it to our most recent investor pitch deck so that investors saw the same thing on our site as in our presentations. Communication throughout the project was responsive and transparent — they provided guidance beyond just the immediate deliverables. Our leadership team is very happy with how it came together, and they understand what we want and run with it.
