First, we listen. Then, we do.
Our discovery process begins with listening to our colleagues and documenting their goals and objectives. Then we analyze peer websites and conduct focus groups. Armed with this data, the team builds an Information Architecture based on site goals and crafts a content strategy to guide content development and page building efforts.
Pages are meticulously planned in collaborative sessions where we map out page structure and interactively create wireframes.
Everyone is hands-on.ÌýUsing our rich, custom-built toolset of more than 10 templates and 35 components, we are able to build engaging pages quickly and efficiently.ÌýWe relentlessly reduce page count and words on page to streamline the site visitor experience, which aids SEO and enhances site effectiveless.Ìý
