Solve the actual problem
Start with what is not working, then choose the right path: redesign, feature upgrade, or new build.
Flare Design helps businesses modernize existing websites, add useful new features, and build new web products when a current process or problem needs a better solution.
Redesign a site, improve a current one, or build something new when the problem calls for it.
You work directly with the same person from review and planning through build and launch.
New work is developed off the live site until it is ready to go.
Some projects need a redesign. Some need new features. Others need a new website or product altogether. The goal is the same: solve the right problem with a cleaner, more useful web experience.

What that can look like
Some businesses need a cleaner website. Some need new functionality. Some need a new product entirely. Flare Design focuses on building the right thing for the problem instead of forcing every project into the same shape.
Start with what is not working, then choose the right path: redesign, feature upgrade, or new build.
If the current site has a solid base, improve it instead of replacing everything for no reason.
When a spreadsheet, manual workflow, or missing product is the problem, create a dedicated web solution around it.
New features should make the product better, not more complicated.
The process changes a little depending on the project, but the goal stays the same: understand the problem, design the right solution, build it carefully, and launch it cleanly.
Look at the current site, workflow, or idea and identify what is working, what is missing, and what needs to change.
Decide whether the project calls for a redesign, a feature upgrade, or a brand new build.
Create the updated site or product off the live version so it can be reviewed before launch.
Go live cleanly and make sure the result is ready for real use.
