Designing Purpose Beyond Pixels

Knock Knock Bang™ is a Digital Consulting and Design Agency in Madison Wisconsin

We’re coming clean.

In our industry, there’s a lot of selling five-figure, half-baked products.

Products clients are happy to pay for, but ultimately don’t do much for them long term.

That’s bananas.

So we designed a fresh model.

The Knock Knock Bang™ model is a value-first approach that integrates insatiable curiosity with rigorous design thinking, creating adaptable, forward-thinking solutions that are strategically sound and deeply resonate with the human experience, ensuring every project is both innovative and practically effective.

Instead of:

Hey, I’d like a website.
Okay, a website costs $$$$, here are three options. Pick one.

🤦

We cut the fluff, and start by identifying your budget and business goals.

So it’s more –

Hey, I’d like a website…

How does your business work?

What’s your internal workflow?

How do your customers engage with you?

Are we a good fit?

Then –

What do we have to work with?

Let’s invest $$$$$

We use that number as the center tier for three cost ranges and explain the differences that a little more and a little less will make.

You sign off.

We go to town.

Then

We make a website that promotes your business, improves your workflows, and is useful to your customers.

You get the product you didn’t know to ask for.

🤠 This isn’t our first rodeo.

We understand the options are limitless,
but budgets are not.

We want you to have the best option your budget can buy.

and work with you longterm
to see it through.

The true essence of design: Beyond Pixels, into Purpose.

Welcome to a realm where design isn't merely a visual delight but an in-depth exploration of problems and solutions, where we bring clarity to business challenges.

As a design-focused consulting agency, our expertise stretches far beyond aesthetics.

Our collaboration with clients is deep-rooted. By partnering with businesses, we’ve been at the forefront of brand development and overhauls, forged unique pathways in web app architecture, and sculpted bespoke internal business tools. Together, we've been more than consultants; we've been co-creators of success stories.

When we talk of "design", we're delving deeper than just visual aesthetics. Our philosophy believes in identifying and separating true underlying problems from solutions. This means we don’t just jump to conclusions; we analyze, ponder, and ensure that the authentic challenges bubble to the surface before crafting solutions tailored to your needs.

Now, imagine infusing methodologies that boost productivity into this design philosophy. We swear by David Allen's GTD® methodology and 37 Signals' Shape Up methodology. Why? Because they intertwine beautifully with our design ethos, ensuring that every solution we craft is not only effective but efficient.

Our limited engagement with 10-20 clients annually isn't a limitation. It’s a choice. It ensures that we deeply engage, understand, and guide each business with profound insights, every step of the way. It’s through this focused engagement that we've managed to create half-a-million-dollar revenue pipelines from scratch.

Your leadership alignment, go-to-market strategy, and employee experience optimization are all critical. And we're here not just to advise, but to transform these facets of your business. Our consultations are backed by tangible results and years of hands-on experience.

And while the world races towards automation, we champion personal productivity. In every automation tool or strategy we craft, there’s an underlying aim: to uplift the human spirit, to amplify passion, creativity, and drive. Because we believe that’s what truly pushes businesses forward.

At the crossroads of innovation and passion, where collaboration meets visionary creativity, that's where we stand. We invite businesses, like yours, to embark on a transformative journey with us. Let's design futures, beyond pixels, into purpose.

Send us an email. Let's get after it.
