Strategic Planning



  • Discovery

    It takes some planning to translate traditional business needs onto the web. Although each phase of the project is important, the Discovery Phase is crucial. The Discovery Phase determines the size and scope of the project and ensures that you have communicated all of your web needs to us before we begin development. Our Discovery process is thorough and will ensure that we are able to design a site that fulfills all of your current goals, and is flexible enough to integrate your future needs.




  • Site Layout/Navigation

    Unlike traditional marketing materials, the web is a non-linear platform. Therefore, page layout and navigation play a much more imporant role. There are many times that a visitor may not enter a site from the home page. We understand that it is important to know where you are within a site at all times, and that the navigation is clear and easy to use.




  • Web Architecture

    Web Architecture is the sum of all hardware, software and program language selections for a technology project. We do not sell "package solutions". We assess each project's specific needs individually and make web architecture decisions based on these specifics.




  • Solution Based Planning

    Solution Based Planning will help your site expand smoothly over the long term. When presented with an immediate need, we will explore flexible, functional and cost-conscious options that address this need as well as the long term goals of your project.



Technology & Design


Web Applications

Almost all aspects of business are now being conducted via the world wide web. Whether it's as simple as an e-mail form or as complex as a muti-distributed inventory system, we can convert your traditional business model into a web application that works.


Database Development

If you need to create, modify, delete or view a product catalog, press release archive, law precedent listings, student transcripts, session information, pricing structures, etc. you need a database. We are proficient at creating, updating, adding to, and selecting from SQL databases and tables.

E-business


e-Commerce

We are e-commerce experts with experience in everything from single-product sites to Business to Consumer (B to C) sites to Business to Business (B to B) sites carrying thousands of products in inventory. This includes shopping carts, product catalogs, on-line inventory, tax rates, shipping structures, pricing & discount models, and product up-sells or cross-sells.


Privacy and Security

The top user concerns are privacy and security. We take these concerns very seriously. Not all sites have security and privacy needs, but for those who do security insures privacy. We implement the highest level of encryption supported by browsers today and then encourage our clients to define, and clearly post their privacy policy.


Account Management

We build account management solutions that allow separate input from both web user and business owners/employees. All this data is stored in a centralized system so that both can view and modify their specific information in real time with little or no delay. This assures that our clients are always viewing current information and can better serve the web user.


Personalization

With personalization, you get a 24-hour virtual doorman that addresses your return-visitor by name, stores their shopping records, recalls their preferences, makes recommendations, and can emails them reminders.
