Can Annex work with an existing website, application or design system rather than starting again from scratch?

Can Annex work with an existing website, application or design…

Yes, that can be possible; Annex's published work includes delivery inside existing technical and organisational environments rather than only greenfield builds. Throughout the development process, Annex worked with Pragma Partners content writers and created a pre-production environment where DVA content was created, migrated and reviewed using the publishing workflow. Annex worked with the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) to provide independent testing of the newly built Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) website. The sensible starting point is to identify what already works, what is constraining the service, and where integration or incremental change is safer than unnecessary replacement. The answer for an existing website, application or design system would depend on its actual condition and dependencies.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current scope, specifications, compatibility, availability, pricing, timing and next steps should be confirmed directly with Annex where they affect a decision.
