Expertise
What separates us from other companies in the IT business? According to ourselves it is our unique combination of expertise in multiple disciplines that all focus on creating the best possible user experience. When you speak to us about building websites you will hear words such as usability, accessibility, Web standards, and Web strategy. Our consultants each have diverse skillsets that overlap, which makes in-team communication a lot easier. Here are short descriptions of our most important areas of expertise:
- Accessibility
- Our opinion is that Web accessibility is about building websites that work regardless of which Web browser or Operating System is used, and regardless of any disability the user might have. Building accessible websites is about respecting defferent people's different needs and preferences.
- Project management
- Lack of time is characteristic of many organisations today. Cut-downs lead to fewer people sharing more responsibilities. Giving an already very busy colleague yet another responsibility is often just not possible. This is especially true of Website projects, that demand a thorough understanding of the strenghts and weaknesses of the Web. That is why we offer professional project management of Website and intranet implementation projects.
- Usability and Interaction Design
- In order to verify that the sites we build actually work, usability and interaction design are important parts of our workflow. Throughout the development process, our interaction designers perform usability testing of the site's visual design and layout, verify that its information architecture works, and confirm that it is possible and easy to perform critical tasks.
- Web design
- We think attractive visual design and functionality are equally important for a Website. Our designers balance the need for stunning graphic design with readability and accessibility concerns to achieve the best of both worlds.
- Web standards
- Every site we build is based on a solid foundation of valid and semantic markup that fully adheres to Web standards. We don't just force our work through validation but make sure it also follows the spirit of Web standards - to be available to all, regardless of which browsing device they use.
- Web strategy
- Many organisations lack a clear strategy for their Web presence. We can help you identify goals and set targets, and will do research to define target groups and what your website needs to attract them.
