How we deliver successful web development
projects
We typically start by understanding what the website needs to achieve, who needs to be involved, and what systems or constraints shape delivery. From there, we move through a structured build process designed to reduce risk and keep stakeholders aligned.
Discovery and requirements
Define goals, constraints, audiences, and technical requirements.
Information architecture and planning
Map site structure and key user journeys to support usability.
Design and build collaboration
Coordinate design and development so the final build matches intent.
Development and integrations
Build core templates and implement required integrations where applicable.
Quality assurance
Test usability, accessibility, performance and cross-device behaviour.
Launch and post-launch iteration
Launch with a plan for fixes, improvements and ongoing support.
Vitae
Brand identity and website rebuild for a membership organisation
Vitae needed a refreshed brand identity and website that improved accessibility and user engagement. Granite 5 ran discovery, evolved the design, produced design guidance, and delivered a new website with a streamlined structure and integration-ready foundations. The project also involved a content audit and a redirect strategy.
The website went on to win an international digital award, recognising its contribution to the global researcher community.

The Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine
Website development with membership portal and Salesforce integration
FFLM required support that began with taking over temporary hosting and progressed into delivery of a new website designed to automate processes and better support teams. Granite 5 guided a migration from a legacy platform to Salesforce, delivered website development and a membership portal, and implemented an integration that connects website activity with CRM data such as applications, bookings, membership status and transaction history.
