Open CC are a digital creative agency in London. We're specialists in web
design, build, traffic, strategy and mobile.
Web design that works
We have designed and delivered over 50 websites over the years, which means we know what works and what doesn't.
High impact, effective web design which considers function as highly as form is central to our offering as a digital agency.
We always take a full creative brief to understand our client's objectives before starting out: ensuring that the end product does what it needs to, and does it well.
Prettiness alone doesn't cut it any more: our clients' digital presence is increasingly vital to their organisational and commercial goals.
Our design team have worked with big brands such as the BBC, Channel 4 and the British Red Cross, and are proud to have won several awards for our work.
User-centred design
Websites are designed for humans, which is why we think it's pretty important to consider exactly how humans interact with the web.
Our user-centred design methodology ensures that right from the word go we are considering who the target audience is, what their needs are, and how those people are likely to behave.
Sites aren't made of static JPEGs; they are living, breathing things often with their own eccentricities and quirks. We always wireframe, paper prototype or live prototype our work before starting the development effort - putting an early version in front of real people and looking at how they interact with it.
This ensures that we can iron out major usability bloopers before we invest in the major build. We always factor in time to make final tweaks at the end of a project too. This protects our clients' budgets and guarantees highly usable, attractive design that makes people feel good, and makes our clients happy.
Functional design
As an agency, we don't just knock out top-notch websites. We are specialists in interactive design, and have extensive experience designing DVDs, Flash games, rich web applications and mobile sites or applications.
Designing projects that function isn't easy, and lots of companies get it wrong. Over the years we've designed national level collaborative platforms for teachers, highly accessible quizzes for the disability section of the BBC website, interactive videos and Flash games for charities big and small - and we've learnt just a few things along the way.
Minimising cognitive load, optimising user journeys, talking the users' language, focusing on the red routes (core operations) and always using established best practice techniques ensure that our interfaces are highly intuitive, powerful and effective at what they do.
