A bit about us
Creating visually impactful and effective web sites, is not as simple as some would suggest. However, the approach to achieving it need not be complicated.
Your website should be unique to your business and work hard to turn site visits into business for your company. Creating bespoke solutions that do just that, is our business. Doddle is a web design agency that delivers a full range of web and digital services that focus on helping your business generate more enquiries and sales.
We have a wealth of experience within digital design and development, working with companies from start-ups to large and complex organisations. Doing this we have developed a proven way of working – one that we have refined to maximise the support the finished project gives to your business objectives.

The way we work
Doddle encourages you to engage with us throughout a project. We don’t believe in arms-length development. We want your involvement so that our understanding of your needs and objectives is as good as it can be. We have refined our project approach into four key processes.
Key Stage One
Ideation
Defining what you want to achieve, the scope of content and functionality, the target audience and how you want to speak to them i.e. the type of language and tone. The type of look and feel you might like visually and graphically. The upshot of this stage is a sitemap giving a site’s main areas/pages.
Key Stage Two
Developing a framework
Once we have a sitemap, it’s time to sketch out some wireframes. Essentially a digital flow-chart, these allow us to plan what will go where, and on which page. This is crucial as it both defines content and helps you to understand the user journey through your site. Making that journey as simple and enjoyable as possible will dramatically improve the overall customer experience, and very likely lead to greater business effectiveness.
Key Stage Three
Design
We take all we have learnt in Stages 1 and 2 and produce a sketched-out design for you to consider. These are passed to you for discussion and then eventually worked through to approval. We ask you at this stage to sign off on a design before we start to build it. This saves both time and cost.
Key Stage Four
Development
The building or creation of your site and/or digital products. Bringing together ideas, structure and design in a finished and efficiently working final product, bringing a conceptual plan to life.
