Growth-Driven Design
Growth Driven Design is an investment that produces month over month growth.
Growth-Driven Design (GDD) is a smart approach to website design and maintenance. GDD succeeds in minimizing the risks of traditional website design. The website launches faster than a traditional website and stays within budget.
Growth-Driven Design is an investment that produces month-over-month growth. During the GDD process, we measure, iterate, and act. The main aim is to improve user experience and website performance, and ultimately the whole business.

Growth Drive Design Process
The Growth-Driven Design has three stages:
1. Strategy
Developing empathetic understanding of your audience's world and how the website solves their problems along the buyer's journey.
2. Launch Pad
We quickly build a website that looks and performs better than what you have today, but, is not the final product. Rather, it's the foundation to build and
3. Continuous improvement
With a launch pad site live and collecting user data, we start identifying high impact actions you need to take to grow your business.
Strategy
During the strategy stage, we start with making SMART goals. We make clear objectives of what the website should do. This helps avoid endless back and forth and revisions of the website.
Then we develop our buyer persona (s). A buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal buyer based on data. Therefore, buyer persona research is important to help us understand the users.
When you understand your ideal customer, you will answer their needs and pain points. This way you can help them throughout their buyer’s journey. Remember as the website grows, your customer and your team will be using your website to help them succeed.
During the strategy stage, we turn a wish list of ideas into an actionable plan. We put together a phased approach to make the wish list a reality.
Launch Pad
There is no such thing as a perfect website. At the Launch Pad stage, our goal is to build a website that looks and performs better than a website you have today.
Here we will collect real data that will inform our continuous improvement efforts. It is not your final product, it is not the perfect website, but it positions your business for success.
Continuous Improvement
It takes time to build a peak-performing website. Building a peak-performing website comes through data-driven optimizations.
The continuous improvement stage is an agile approach to website maintenance. We use real user data to guide how we improve the website for the user.
Sprint Cycles
We use what we have learned from the real user data during Sprint cycles to plan and build the best way forward. We also learn and share the learning with marketing, sales, and other departments. This is how a GDD Sprint cycle looks:
