Interaction design

 

What makes you different?
We think like engineers, but we also think like your users. We are lower in cost than larger consultants. We are fast. We guarantee our work.

Why outsource?
We offer a fresh perspective. Sometimes companies are too close to the problems to see alternative solutions. We provide just the amount of assistance that you need, get up to speed quickly, and work within your methodology.

At what point in the project should we use your services?
We can help at any point in the project stream. The best time to drive out backend development costs is early in the project and we can help with those cost concerns.

If you build my web site, will I have to pay you for its maintenance?
Your web site belongs to you, not to your consultant or IT staff. We want to empower you to make changes to your site on your own. If you prefer to have us maintain your site for you, we are available on a retainer or an "as needed" basis for web site maintenance. We believe that content is the most important and most often neglected part of a web site.

Why should we care about usefulness for our intranet?
Useful tools increase productivity. "Faster, better, cheaper" is the direct result of smarter, more useful tools in the hands of employees.

What is the most common problem you see?
The fear to subtract. Just because the technology enables you to do fifty things, doesn't mean that your users want or need those fifty things. Empower your users; don't confuse them.

Do you have a methodology?
Yes. But we work within yours. If you don't have a methodology or processes in place as you begin your development, let us help you develop one-even if it's a small project. You'll be thankful you did.

Why should we invest in usefulness?
Technology is only valuable if it's useful. Adoption by a set of users-whether they are employees, partners, suppliers, or customers-only happens when a web site or a software product is meeting a need in a way that is easy, understandable, and relevant.

What's the key to database design?
You can't come up with a good database design until you clearly define your business and user objectives. We analyze project requirements, and system architectural considerations. This analysis allows us to intelligently design databases. We recommend Microsoft SQL Server for most applications; however, we have experience with several other database systems

Can you help us improve our search engine results?
Yes. We can analyze your web site's content for Search Engine Optimization, and implement Meta tags on all of your pages.
