About
Haragei is a group of creative people working to make the Internet a more comfortable and functional virtual home for everyone. We believe that the stuff we make speaks louder than any boring introduction may, so we’ll get right to the point. We build everything that you can see in your browser – from one-page microsites, through corporate websites and social networks, to web-based applications. Our projects are designed in such a way to be of maximum use to our clients, to comply with industry standards and to provide unmatched user experience.
The emphasis of the development process is placed on information architecture, which is just a fancy way of saying we like to deliver products that enable users to find what they are looking for quickly and painlessly. We strive towards achieving the perfect balance of both worlds – a creation that induces the wow-effect but is, at the same time, perfectly functional. Slightly below, we have presented the method we use in our approach to projects. Working to satisfy the four most important criteria points, we listen to our clients and plan accordingly, design with the user in mind, build according to standards, and manage our projects to have them reach their full potential.
As true Samurai warriors, our most important tools are infallible haragei and endless passion for our work. Strive towards perfection and attention to details are just a few of the embroideries that make our work recognized and appreciated. A recipe based on our own haragei and the client’s active participation paves an error-proof path to success.
Haragei is led by Nikola Denic - industry veteran, in partnership with Milan Kristoff.
Our process
4. Manage
Analysis / Maintenance
Rather than calling it quits at the end of the development process, we take the extra step to optimize our projects to have them reach their full potential. By creating the perfect design and source code conducive to exploiting the best features of the web a part of the managing stage is already underway.
However, by applying further optimization solutions we are able to deliver projects that give irreplaceable user experience and realize maximum potential for the client.
3. Build
XHTML / CSS / Javascript / Flash / CMS
After coming up with the look and feel for the project, all that is left to come to completion is to build. The milestones of this phase are not seen by users but are the determining factor in what they will experience. Our development phase adheres to web-standards and is equipped with content managing systems to enable each client to have full control over the material published.
This stage is of extreme significance for the final appearance of the project since it directly determines how the website will behave when used.
2. Design
UI / Prototyping / Graphic
Designing phase revolves around the visual aspects of the site. By knowing precisely what we are building, we go on to tailor the perfect outfit that will give each website its own distinctive look and feel designed to work flawlessly with its conceptual functionality. At this point, we analyze the needs of the project and prototype user interface that will best satisfy these needs, as well as offer great user experience.
Highlight of the phase is the ingenious merge of functionality with awe-striking graphics.
1. Plan
Discovery / Goals / Wireframes / IA
All great projects start with a great plan. At the start of the game, we begin by familiarizing ourselves with the client's needs and researching solutions that would best suit the project. Coming up with a detailed plan on how to execute the project is the crucial step to perform at the best rate and produce the best results.
By establishing the site structure and layout early on in the game, we are able to completely control the rest of the development phase and offer continuous feedback to the client.
