UX Design
UX design is a crucial component of effective web design. Our approach focuses on creating interfaces that are not only intuitive but also provide a satisfying user experience. By leveraging deep insights into user behaviour, our UX design ensures that your website is accessible, easy to navigate, and fully responsive, aligning perfectly with the specific needs of your users.

Style Guide
Using imagery, colour, shapes, typography and form to enhance usability and improve the user experience of the product.
We work with existing brand guidelines, digital style guides to make sure your website sits side-by-side with your other products to ensure you maintain a cohesive brand image. Or, we can create your website style guide from scratch. Everything we design is systematic, follows best practices and is designed with your end-users at the forefront of our minds.

Visual Design
In addition to style guides, we create custom illustrations and icons to build brand identities that stand the test of time and speak for themselves.
The visual assets we create for your product’s interface are functional, consistent, coherent, and of course, aesthetically pleasing.

Accessibility
Accessibility ensures that all users, regardless of their needs, can navigate, understand, and interact with the content on your website, promoting inclusivity and a positive user experience. We always design to the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We make sure everyone can access our websites and applications - including the disabled, and the users with assistive technologies. If users cannot read the information on our website it doesn’t matter how beautiful the information looks, the product fails. We take accessibility seriously and we offer our expertise to all our clients.
NZ Government Web Standards
Somar Digital has vast experience working on Government websites such as those for Greater Wellington Regional Council and the Ministry of Social Development. We make sure that all websites for the Government agencies we work with meet the latest Government web standards.
Responsive Design
Responsive web design is essential for ensuring a website looks and functions flawlessly across all devices, from desktops to smartphones. By using flexible layouts, images, and cascading style sheets (CSS), it automatically adjusts the site's layout to fit the screen size and orientation of the device being used.
