Process
A clear process for thoughtful digital work.
Vilét uses a focused, collaborative process to clarify the problem, define the right solution, build with care, and prepare the work for long-term use.
Process overview
01
DiscoverWe clarify the goals, audience, existing challenges, and definition of success.
02
DefineWe turn what we learned into a focused structure, content plan, and technical approach.
03
BuildDesign and development move together through focused reviews, refinement, and quality checks.
04
Launch and evolveWe prepare the final experience for release and establish a practical path for support and improvement.
01
Discover
We clarify the goals, audience, existing challenges, and definition of success.
The process begins by understanding the business, the audience, the current situation, and the problem worth solving.
What happens
- Review goals, constraints, and priorities
- Understand the audience and key user actions
- Evaluate existing websites, workflows, or tools
- Identify assumptions and unanswered questions
- Clarify what a useful outcome looks like
Client involvement
Provide business context, existing materials, access to relevant systems, and clear decision-making ownership.
Output
A shared understanding of the problem, project direction, and information required for the next stage.
02
Define
We turn what we learned into a focused structure, content plan, and technical approach.
Discovery is translated into a focused structure, scope, and implementation plan before significant production work begins.
What happens
- Define information architecture or workflow structure
- Prioritize features and requirements
- Establish content needs
- Select the technical approach
- Clarify responsibilities and review points
- Identify risks, dependencies, and exclusions
Client involvement
Review priorities, approve the direction, provide required content, and resolve open business decisions.
Output
A practical project plan that aligns the proposed solution with the business goals and available scope.
03
Build
Design and development move together through focused reviews, refinement, and quality checks.
Design and development move through focused implementation, review, and refinement rather than being treated as isolated handoffs.
What happens
- Create responsive interfaces
- Implement approved features
- Integrate content and systems
- Review usability and accessibility
- Validate performance and technical behavior
- Refine based on structured feedback
Client involvement
Provide timely, consolidated feedback and verify that the evolving solution reflects the approved direction.
Output
A working digital experience or system that has been reviewed against the agreed requirements.
04
Launch and evolve
We prepare the final experience for release and establish a practical path for support and improvement.
The final stage prepares the work for production, verifies critical behavior, and establishes what happens after release.
What happens
- Complete final quality checks
- Prepare production configuration
- Validate content, links, and integrations
- Launch the approved solution
- Provide documentation or handoff
- Define maintenance or continued iteration where needed
Client involvement
Approve the final release, confirm operational ownership, and identify immediate post-launch priorities.
Output
A production-ready release with a clear path for support, maintenance, and future improvement.
Collaboration
Clear collaboration keeps the work moving.
Vilét provides the strategy, design, development, and technical guidance. The client provides business knowledge, timely decisions, accurate content, and access to the people or systems required for the project.
Vilét
- Lead discovery and technical planning
- Explain recommendations and tradeoffs
- Build and validate the approved solution
- Communicate progress and blockers
- Document important implementation details
Client
- Provide accurate business information
- Assign a clear decision-maker
- Supply required content and access
- Review work within agreed review windows
- Consolidate feedback
- Approve scope and release decisions
Project variables
The structure stays clear. The details adapt.
The same core stages apply across engagements, but the depth of discovery, number of review cycles, technical requirements, and launch preparation depend on the project.
- Project complexity
- Content readiness
- Number of stakeholders
- Required integrations
- Existing technical constraints
- Approval speed
- Media and asset needs
- Security or compliance considerations
- Ongoing support requirements
These variables are why a responsible timeline is defined after the work is understood rather than published as a fixed promise.
Quality checkpoints
Review continues throughout delivery.
The work is checked against the approved direction as it moves from planning toward production.

Process questions
Practical context before the work begins.
