About_PN

Keep it Simple

Regardless of how complex, ambitious or innovative the requirement is, we enjoy getting ‘stuck in’.  Why?  Our processes define and structure requirements eradicating any confusion or grey areas.  We provide customers with accurate estimates and roadmaps for delivery and begin each project lifecycle with an immersive planning process that starts with nothing more than talking and simple prioritisation.

Simple interfaces and applications are easier to use, easier to understand, more intuitive, faster loading, and easier to maintain than their flashy, image laden counterparts. Our past work proves that simplicity doesn’t have to look cheap, feel plain, or be downright ugly.

We use text and standard interface elements instead of heavy images and home-brewed, confusing interface widgets. We don’t use seven words when four will do. We use text sizes that don’t require a magnifying glass to read. We believe design should serve the customer, not insult them. We believe usability should take precedence over “cool.”

Dependable and Available

At Monochrome, we pride ourselves on the level of personal contact we provide our clients. You’ll always be able to talk directly to the people working on your project whenever you want.

Deliverables You Can Use

We just give you the advice, documents, and designs you really need.  We don’t try to impress you with 200-page documents you’ll never read, convoluted processes that make us look busy, or designs that please the eye but frustrate your customers. We just give you the advice, documents, and designs you really need. The result is a clear plan that ensures results for your business and a great experience for your customers.

Plain English, Jargon Free

We believe in clear, honest straightforward communication. So we don’t hide behind acronyms, buzzwords, or industry jargon. With Monochrome, you get answers you can understand.

Technological know-how

We use technology such as Ruby on Rails that penetrates and supports your business to the core and help reduce long-term cost.

We get people talking

We do this by working with partners and clients to explore new opportunities, conceptualise ideas, and define a roadmap to deliver the best customer experience and method of communication for the proposition, together.

Monochrome work collaboratively to deliver experiences that start conversations, build relationships, and truly embrace the way that people interact with the digital world today.

Design “Wow” factor

The only “Wow!” we’re going for is when a customer says, “Wow! This site really worked for me.”. We believe design should serve the customer making their experience simple and intuitive.  Usability is key.

Monochrome designs solutions that address your customer’s needs and exceed both client and user expectations.
