Will I have access to all of the code for future?

Do you also provide web design services?

Our team mainly concentrate on providing web development services. However we can recommend and/or manage your web design project with freelancers, studios and agencies specialising in the field.

Do you do modification to an existing running work?

If the project was implemented by us previously we can surely take care of any ammendments you require in future. But we don't take up edit/repair work in projects not done by us. However, if you are looking for reimplementation of existing projects, we can surely take care of that as well.

Briefing

What information should I provide in my order?

The more information you provide the better, but here are a few items you’ll want to consider sending in with your order:

Comp file(s) of the design you want converted. See below for the various formats this can be supplied in.
Flattened image of how you want the page to look at first glance, without effects, rollovers, animations, etc. This is important to make sure there are not some additional layers in the source files which might be turned off.
Description of any requirements or special instructions. You may also want to consider including an extra layer in the source file to provide more details.
Javascript interactions you would like tobe implemented. Although our review team will identify the neccessary Javascript. But it surely helps, if you can list out any specific requirements.
Fonts. If you’re using custom fonts in your designs please provide us with source font files them so we can work with your design properly. Also specify which fonts should be replaced on the website and with what method (@font-face, Google Fonts, Typekit, MyFonts, etc.) and provide us with appropriate code snippets or generated fonts for correct implementation.

What file types you accept for design?

The most preferable source files are layered PSD files.

We also accept Illustrator AI, Fireworks PNG and Sketch files but please note that additional time will be needed to build using these design files.

If layered files are not available, we can also accept flattened designs in other formats like JPEG or PDF. For PDF source file please specify the exact dimensions in px to be used for the page. Please note that there may be cases where it is impossible or undesirable to use flattened files for particular elements. The projects with flattened designs usually require additional time.

We can also use your existing markup as a source. You are welcome to provide us with the local version of the page and we will use it for re-slicing.

When in doubt, upload the files you have, and ask your questions while sending your briefing – we will advise you from there.
