Type/Code is a full-service digital agency, with a multidisciplinary team that excels across the entire project lifecycle.
Strategy
We help clarify objectives, constraints, and opportunities through domain analysis and user research – informing product roadmaps, content strategies, creative approaches, and technology planning.
Design
From information architecture and iterative wireframing, to highly finessed user interface systems, we create digital experiences that are beautiful, intuitive, and functional– and we craft visual identities, infographics, print materials, and motion graphics that are impactful and refined.
Development
Often starting with functional prototypes during the design process, our deeply integrated full-stack cross-platform hyphenation-heavy development process brings things to life with clean and scalable code, and iterative product development.
Our team
We’ve spent years honing our process, and these are the things that we care deeply about:
Holistic.
We bring projects from inception through launch, and beyond. Our process is grounded in strategic planning, with an iterative design and development approach for creating exceptional digital products and experiences that keep getting better.
Collaborative.
We work with you rather than for you. From collaborative working sessions and rapid prototyping to ongoing product development, we’re an extension of your team– working together towards common goals.
Meticulous.
We sweat the details, from exploring the nuances of your domain and objectives, through pixel-perfect designs, to writing clean and scalable code – we’re passionate about our craft.
Inventive.
After decades of collective problem solving experience with our clients, we love to scratch our own itch now and again. So we invent apps, products, services and technologies that we wish existed. See some of our Lab creations.
