Web Development
Like the Modernists, we believe that ?form follows function?. No matter how beautiful a web site might look, it isn?t worth much if your visitors can?t find what they?re looking for. Our design activities are based around the principles and processes of User-Centred Design (UCD). UCD seeks to answer questions about users and their tasks and goals, and then to use those findings to drive development and design.
We involve the users of your website in the design process from the beginning by:
- Discovering how they think and what they expect
- Including them as an integral part of the design/development process and team
- Observing them in their own environment; validating your assumptions about them; analysing their tasks, workflow, and goals
- Eliciting feedback via walk-throughs, card sorting, paper prototypes, think-aloud sessions, and other methods
User-Centred Design cuts costs through reduction in development time and rework, and increases user satisfaction and productivity.
Development
The web development process brings functionality to your website. From the simplest contact form to the most complex business processes, our proven development model ensures that the functionality of your website is delivered on time and on budget, and fully meets your expectations.
Future Proofing
All of our web development projects are fully standards compliant. This gives your web pages greater visibility in web searches, and allows for more versatile use of the information within documents on the World Wide Web, and simplified migration to new systems - hardware as well as software - including devices such as TVs and PDAs.
Accessibility
Standards compliance also allows your web pages to be understood by people using browsers other than the usual ones - including browsers for people with visual impairments, hand-held browsers with very little monitor space, teletext displays, and other unusual output devices.
