Web development
Your Digital Magnet
The digitization of information and automation of business
functions online across industries has created an on-demand
culture. Whatever your business, your prospects and customers
expect a new, anytime, anywhere level of interaction online that
you must meet to stay competitive. Our web development team
specializes in data-driven Web applications
tailored to the specific functionality requirements of your
business. Whether you need self-service account access for your
customer-base, online ordering systems or an e-commerce enterprise,
we build expert, custom and scalable applications to meet the
demand of this digital age and to grow as your business grows.
The science approach
Our Web development approach is a methodical process adapted
from the Rational
Unified Process and tailored for each specific set of
functions, from requirements planning to Web application development. We
don't create Web sites. We create user experiences. Customers and
prospects come to your Web site for a reason. Our primary goal is
to optimize its usability. Our approach helps us understand how
people interact with technology first, then how we can achieve the
most pleasant, easy-to-use experience for your best customers and
prospects.
The art approach
When crafting the look and feel, voice and tone and creative
composition of a Web site, we're dealing with more than aesthetics.
The subtle elements of design and arrangement of words affect
engagement and conversion, sometimes dramatically. The creative
process we undertake is not self-serving to please our design
preferences but user-serving to engage end-users, both consciously
and unconsciously. We achieve this through a process of creative
evolution-an iterative process with constant feedback and
adjustments based on multi-variate testing.
The integrated approach
Digital Magnet user-centered methodology
The experience of the end user, your customer, is to choose what
he or she wants, whether it's information, entertainment, community
or a product or service. Their need for information is
self-selecting their way to you. They see you, they like you, they
select you-it's a natural form of self-expression. It's just a
happy coincidence to have found what they're looking for in
you.
But this is not about luck. The happy coincidence is actually a
carefully engineered user experience from start to finish-designed
by the same natural forces that keep the planets aligned, the same
push and pull or attraction and promotion.
It's like a compass-once a prospect is attracted and lands on
your Web site, magnetic forces under the surface work to help him
orient himself, engage and move in the right direction.
