Method

From spreadsheet to published chart.

  1. 01

    Understanding the data

    Sources, units, missing years, provisional series: we check everything before drawing, and flag anything that needs to be confirmed.

  2. 02

    Choosing the form

    One question, one chart. Compare, track over time, place on a map or let readers explore: the form follows from what the reader needs to understand.

  3. 03

    Designing and developing

    Your brand guidelines, colours checked for colour-blind readers, animations that guide reading and crisp rendering from phone to giant screen.

  4. 04

    Publishing and keeping it alive

    Integration into your website or CMS, PNG, PDF or CSV export, and data updates when new figures come in.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we are often asked.

Which tools do you use to create your visualisations?

We write custom charts in SVG and JavaScript, with D3 when the project warrants it. No platform subscription: the files belong to you and can be integrated into any website.

Are the charts accessible?

Every visualisation has a title and a description for screen readers, a data table, keyboard navigation, colours checked for colour-blind readers, and respects the “reduce motion” setting.

Can they be integrated into our website or CMS?

Yes: as a standalone page, an iframe or a component in WordPress, Drupal or a bespoke CMS. The charts adapt to the available width, from phone to projection screen.

How is the data updated?

From a CSV or JSON file, a spreadsheet or an API. Depending on your needs, updates are made by your teams, automatically or by us.

Do you also create infographics for print?

Yes. With CM Design, we adapt the same visualisations for printed reports, presentations and social media, with shared brand guidelines.

How much does a data visualisation cost?

It depends on the number of charts, their interactivity and the state of the data. After an initial conversation, we send a detailed quotation.
