Small team, big ideas

Developing digital products in 2022 is so much more than a problem solving exercise solved by code. More than ever we have the tools to realise our most creative ideas and build digital experiences that may have been deemed too challenging in the past. Web development is no longer simply a means to an end but an exploration in design itself, and the lines between design and code are more blurred than ever. It’s this intersection of technique and creativity that Instance loves to work in.

Founded in 2018 by some Dutchies and an Aussie, we are laid back but passionate team working both in office and remote. Throwing ideas around the slack channel or weekly drinks on Thursday, the team is invited to participate and contribute to every facet of the company, culture and work. Although autonomy is expected, we know that to thrive we must be a team and work together.We’re always pushing each other to discover new skills and explore new technologies knowing full well how quickly the industry can change. Through the shifts in tech and the latest framework trends, we believe a great team culture can stoke the fire of progression and help build, learn and develop as professionals as well as people.

Working together

Digital Partnership

A full service digital partnership, our teams work together towards a set of goals through teamwork and collaboration. From strategy to design, development and marketing, we will guide your team through each step to ensure success.

In person or remote, we act as the digital arm of your business; on hand and always in contact to support and maintain your projects both short and long term. Be it a mobile applications, websites, online stores, campaigning platforms or more, we have the experience and knowledge to empower your business, utilising your current workflows and integrating your existing systems efficiently and making the upgrade process pain free.

The Instance team has been working in the design & development of digital products for over 10 years, and boast a deep knowledge of both disciplines. We understand how code can not just inform design decisions, but also empower them to achieve amazing user experiences across all platforms and devices.

Development Partnership

When not working on design in-house, we seek out design teams of similar experience and expertise to collaborate and form working relationships with. More than just working closely, we want to challenge both teams and push for the better solution, the abstract approach, and the unique point of difference for our project. 

Our unique experience in both design and development allows us to execute our partners’ most bold ideas and design strategies. We believe that pushing all parties out of our comfort zones can help us achieve the best results and produce memorable and meaningful products. 

We help inform, improve and empower your entire design process.

What we do

Discovery & Strategy

Through consultation, workshops, and research, we begin to understand your business and your current and future goals, vision and objectives. Market research and User profiles are used to build a design, development & content strategy, as we roadmap your product through design, development and launch.

Prototype & Design

We work closely with your team to bring your vision to life with a UI/UX design strategy that aims to engage your users and gain conversions. Building upon the strategy phase, we wireframe and iteratively prototype before moving to design. Through collaboration, ongoing feedback and review phases, an initial product design is born.

Development

Our skilled developers work closely with the design team to bring the design to life. Accurate, efficient, built to scale and widely supported, we integrate the UI into the most suitable CMS (if one is needed!) for your product, ensuring the Backend is as joyful to use as the Frontend. SEO ready, Q/A’d and working on all devices, your product is delivered to the highest possible standards.

Launch & Support

We deploy your content strategy and empower you to use the new system through training and documentation. Launch however is just the beginning! Search Engine Optimisation & Social Media Marketing campaigns will help drive users to your product as we begin to realise the goals and vision we defined at the beginning. Tracking, Analytics & in-depth Reporting inform our next steps, as we deploy a long term and on-going strategy post-launch.
