OUR DESIGN TENANTS
Usability
A site irrespective of content volume should be designed so that a visitor can
easily and quickly find the resource or product they want. Issues such as “Who
is you audience and what kind of web access do they typically have?” should
be considered. Through custom scripting we can introduce a dynamic, branching
menu systems and 'bread crumb' methodology whereby users can open and close
portions of the navigation. Navigation is straightforward and well organized.
The end product truly reflects optimal usability.
Presentation
The cosmetics of a site are an extension of the company it represents. A site
must maintain professionalism and quality and must appeal thematically to its
audience. Cleanliness, legibility and professionalism are necessary in all aspects
of the site. Cosmetics are often difficult to gauge as they are, ultimately,
a matter of preference. Our opinions of our designs are substantiated by our
clients and their satisfaction.
Keep It Simple
Don’t fill up your site with graphics, animations, and other visual bells
and whistles just for the sake of having them. Stick to the same basic color
palette and font your company uses in other communications, like your logo,
brochure and signage. Ensure that images and graphics serve to enhance, not
distract from your marketing goals or lengthen site download times
Product Data Management
Storage and manipulation of large volumes of data is handled via a MYSQL database.
MYSQL is an industry standard, enterprise level solution and is very well
suited to handling large volumes of data. When the opportunity to collect
data from or share with your visitors presents itself, go for it but insure
that privacy and confidentiality expectation of users are met.
Real-time, Interactive Elements
A site should provide current information and resources of interest to visitors.
Sites should also providing a communication portal such that visitors could
provide feedback, input and questions. Establishing a community can considerably
enhance traffic generation efforts.
