Our approach.
One shared direction.
Your website, brand and marketing should work towards the same goal. Vermilio brings creative thinking and web development together, with a plan shaped around your business.
Start with the
business goal.
A clear brief gives each choice a purpose. The starting point is what your business needs to change: more relevant enquiries, a clearer offer, or an easier path to purchase.
Explore our services- Who needs to act?
- Define the people you want to reach and what matters to them. Their needs shape the message and the experience.
- What stands in their way?
- Look at gaps in the current journey. An unclear offer or a hard-to-use page can weaken even a strong campaign.
- What should change?
- Choose a useful next step for visitors. A sales enquiry and an online purchase call for different paths.
Connect the moving parts.
Creative marketing and technical work sit under one roof. That makes it possible to consider the whole journey as choices take shape.
- 01 /
Make the offer clear
Brand identity sets the tone. Words and design should help people grasp what you offer and why it fits their needs.
- 02 /
Build the right path
A website helps people explore and act. A web application supports tasks they need to complete. Choose the scope around the job.
- 03 /
Match reach with relevance
Search and targeted ads bring people to your pages. Carry the same promise through the page, so each visit has a clear next step.
Built around your buyers.
B2B buyers may need detail to share with a wider team. B2C customers may need a direct path to purchase. Your audience shapes the balance.
The project, end to end
From the first call
to steady growth.
A project is not a black box you pay into and wait beside. Seven stages, in the order they actually happen, with what we do and what we need from you at each one. Follow the line, or jump to the stage you are asking about.
- 01
The first call
We listen to the business problem before anyone mentions a website or a campaign. What you want to change, what you have already tried, and what a good outcome would look like once the work has had time to land.
Your partBring the goal and the constraints — budget, deadlines, the things that cannot move.
- 02
Scope and proposal
That conversation becomes a written scope: what gets built, what gets measured, and what sits outside this phase on purpose. You see the whole shape and the cost before any work starts.
Your partRead it and tell us what is missing. Changing a scope document is free; changing a built page is not.
- 03
Discovery and strategy
Audit what exists, research the people you want to reach, and agree how success will be measured. The sitemap, the message and the channel plan are decided here — on paper, where a change costs an afternoon.
Your partShare analytics, existing accounts and the knowledge only your team has.
- 04
Design
Structure first, surface second. Wireframes settle what each page owes its reader; the visual design then gives it a voice. You review real screens at real sizes, never an abstraction.
Your partOne consolidated round of feedback, then sign-off before code begins.
- 05
Build in sprints
Development runs in short sprints. Your project goes onto a staging URL in the opening one and grows from there, so you watch it being built instead of waiting for a reveal at the end.
Your partJoin the sprint review and say what is working. A short call, once a sprint.
- 06
Quality assurance
Code review, cross-browser and real-device testing, accessibility and performance checks. Marketing work gets the same treatment: a hypothesis is proven on a small budget before any spend scales behind it.
Your partTest it yourself, on the devices your customers actually use.
- 07
Launch and support
Redirects, analytics, search console and written handover. After go-live we keep measuring against the goal set in stage one, and tune the work from what the numbers say.
Your partApprove the go-live, then keep the goal in view with us.
Working in iterations
Short sprints.
Nothing goes quiet.
Long projects fail in the silence between a kick-off and a reveal. We cut the build into short blocks, each ending in something you can open and use. The plan for the next block is agreed after you have seen the last one.
That also means your business is allowed to change its mind. A new priority does not reopen the contract; it moves to the top of the backlog and gets picked up in the next sprint. Scope moves in the open, rather than a deadline slipping in private.
Strategy & discovery-
Plan
The next sprint is agreed from the top of the backlog — yours to re-order.
-
Build
Work lands on staging as it is finished, not in one batch at the end.
-
Demo
A working walkthrough of what changed, on the real thing.
-
Adjust
Feedback and anything new from your business goes into the next plan.
And round again, sprint after sprint, until the goal from stage one is met.
Quality control
Checked before it
reaches anyone.
Testing is a stage with a name and a budget here, not whatever time is left on the Friday before launch. The same discipline applies to money spent on advertising as to code that ships.
On what we build
- Every change reviewed by a second pair of eyes before it merges
- Cross-browser passes on Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge
- Real phones and tablets, not only a resized desktop window
- Accessibility checked against WCAG 2.2 AA — contrast, keyboard, screen reader
- Performance budget held on staging, not discovered after launch
- Every old URL mapped to a new one before the switch
On what we spend
- One written hypothesis per test, with the measure agreed up front
- Small budget first; spend scales only after a result holds up
- Tracking and conversion events verified before a campaign goes live
- Creative and landing page tested as a pair, never in isolation
- Results reported against the business goal, not impressions
Staying in touch
You always know
where it stands.
One named contact owns your project from the first call to the handover, so you are never introducing yourself again. Four channels, each with a job, so nothing important lives only in someone's inbox.
- SlackEvery working day
- A shared channel with your team and ours. Short questions get short answers the same working day, instead of waiting for the weekly call.
- Google MeetWeekly, plus each sprint review
- A scheduled call with a shared screen. Progress, blockers and the decisions that need you — never a status update that could have been a message.
- JiraOpen to you at any hour
- The backlog, visible. Every task, who holds it and what state it is in, so the answer to how is it going is a link rather than an email.
- NotionUpdated as decisions land
- The project home: the scope, the decisions and why they were made, access notes and the handover documentation you keep afterwards.
Your part in it
Six moments
we need you.
We do not need a project manager on your side or a weekly committee. We need you at six specific points, and we will tell you well before each one arrives. Everything between them is ours to carry.
- Stage 01
The brief
An hour of your attention on the goal, the constraints and the history. Nobody else can supply this part.
- Stage 02
Scope sign-off
Confirm what is in this phase and what waits. One decision, and the project has a fixed shape.
- Stage 03
Access and material
Analytics, domain, hosting, ad accounts, brand files. Gathered once, in one place, early.
- Stage 04
Design approval
One consolidated round of comments from everyone who gets a say, then a yes.
- Stage 05
Sprint feedback
A short call at each sprint review. Early reactions are cheap to act on.
- Stage 07
Go-live approval
A final look, and the word to publish. Then the measuring starts.
