STRATEGIC CONSULTING
Our process starts with a collaborative meeting with our clients to determine the project requirements and site objectives, and define the information architecture and content areas of the new site. The primary goal of information architecture is to understand the site from a 'big picture' perspective and to direct the site visitor using intuitive navigational tools to desired areas of the site. Effective information architecture provides you with the ability to guide your users to the products and features that are most important to the success of your business or organization.

Before designing the navigation and overall architecture of the site, we analyze several different components in order to create an efficient and intuitive user experience.

Marketing Objectives
In most cases, this has already been provided by the client, but in some cases we work with the Client to help define their overall goals. For instance, if the client's main goal is to increase revenue through product sales, then making the online storefront a dominant and easy-to-use feature of the site is a necessity.

Define Target Audience
Who will be visiting, What are they looking for, Why you and not your competitors, When are they visiting, and How do they access the Web? The answers to these questions define mission-critical functionality and guide technology requirements.

Content Organization and Labeling
The content of a site always defines its organizational structure, however, the information we gather throughout the development process helps refine the navigation to best suit the desired user experience.

Analysis of Current Traffic
When redesigning an existing site, analysis of site visitor logs can provide valuable insight into statistics such as pages most visited, pages least visited, entry and exit points of users, what website they were on just before, and so on. Simply put, traffic reporting provides you wth the information you need to achieve the results you and your users are looking for.
