Development ties everything else that we do together, but the majority of the work is often left to the end. At EA, we loop our developers into the project process from the beginning so that they have context when they start building. 

‍

Why? Because good work doesn’t happen in silos, but in traditional web building processes, developers are often third-party or disconnected teams who are handed site designs and asked to “make it work” without a lot of context.  At Edgar Allan, we do everything in our power to make sure our projects work in the opposite fashion. 

‍

Our writers, UX designers, and designers collaborate closely with our devs, checking in throughout the process to make sure that we’re getting their input into the project along the way. 

‍

This ensures that: 

‍

1. That expectations meet the realities of timing and technology.
   ‍
2. When the time comes, our developers have context for what they’re supposed to build and how it’s supposed to work.

‍

Also worth mentioning: our Webflow Plus philosophy, which guides our approach to development.
