How We Approach Every Design Project at Artdez Studio: A Strategic Workflow for Design Success

 

Introduction

When businesses search for professional design services, they’re not just looking for pretty visuals. They want a design partner who understands branding strategy, enhances user experience (UX), and drives conversion optimization. At Artdez Studio, our approach to each design project blends creativity with functionality—aligning with business goals, market trends, and user behavior.

Whether it’s a logo design, website redesign, or complete brand identity package, our process is structured to deliver maximum ROI. In this blog, we break down the steps we follow and the rationale behind them, optimized for performance in a fast-paced digital ecosystem.

Understanding the Client’s Vision: Discovery Phase

Every successful design project starts with deep discovery. We listen, ask the right questions, and uncover key pain points.

What We Focus On:

  • Target audience personas
  • Brand mission and unique value proposition
  • Competitor analysis
  • Current visual assets (if any)

Our discovery process helps us align early with our client’s strategic objectives, providing a strong foundation for the entire project. This phase is particularly critical for clients in eCommerce, SaaS, real estate, and professional services—sectors where brand differentiation can make or break success.

Tools we use:
🛠️ Miro (for collaborative whiteboarding),
📊 Typeform (for stakeholder surveys),
🔍 SEMrush & Ahrefs (for competitive positioning analysis)

Strategic Planning: Laying the Blueprint

With insights in hand, we define a project roadmap. This includes:

  • Design scope and deliverables
  • Timelines and milestones
  • Platform or CMS considerations (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, etc.)
  • Content needs (copywriting, image sourcing, or custom illustrations)

Our clients often come to us unsure of what they need; this phase clarifies expectations, prevents scope creep, and ensures all stakeholders are aligned.

Concept Development: Where Ideas Take Shape

Here, we turn strategy into visual concepts. Based on the mood boards and brand insights collected earlier, we create multiple design directions. These could be:

  • Low-fidelity wireframes
  • Typography explorations
  • Color palette iterations
  • Preliminary UI mockups

Our internal review process includes both design critique sessions and usability audits. We refine and test ideas internally before sharing with the client, saving both time and iterations down the road.

Relevant design platforms: Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch, InVision

Client Presentation & Feedback Loop

Communication is a key success factor in any creative collaboration. We present work through guided walkthroughs and explain:

  • The “why” behind each design choice
  • How the design aligns with business goals
  • Scalability across devices and channels

We invite structured client feedback using collaborative tools like Figma’s comment feature or Loom for video annotations.

This iterative process often involves 1-2 feedback rounds—more if we’re working with large marketing teams or cross-functional departments.

Execution & Delivery: From Pixels to Production

Once we finalize the approved concept, we move into production and asset delivery. Depending on the project, this could include:

  • Development-ready design files (Figma or Adobe XD)
  • Exported assets (SVG, PNG, EPS, etc.)
  • Brand guideline documentation
  • CSS/HTML handoff or Webflow implementation
  • CMS setup or Shopify storefront configuration

We also help with design system creation for brands that require scalability across teams and touchpoints.

Post-Launch Optimization & Support

Design doesn’t end at delivery. Post-launch, we offer:

  • Performance monitoring (site speed, UX behavior)
  • A/B testing with tools like Google Optimize or VWO
  • Design enhancements based on analytics
  • Ongoing design support retainer options

For example, one client in the SaaS industry saw a 32% increase in conversions after we implemented post-launch usability tweaks based on Hotjar session recordings.
