We realize the purpose of your website is to help you accomplish goals. Therefore, our first step in designing your site to listen carefully to you. You know your users, marketplace, and objectives better than anyone. We know interactive design, state of the art programming, and the possibilities and limitations of today's technology. Working together, we can translate your business-knowledge into web-knowledge, employing:
Design
In website design, less is more. Effective design is elegant and simple, easy to navigate, and fast loading. Design elements are centered around user need, such as finding information, conducting transactions, and communicating with others. The information being conveyed holds center-stage, while graphics play a supporting role of setting tone and reinforcing brand image.
Effective website design is also more than just page decoration; it encompasses information architecture, usability, and accessibility. At VIA, we design sites that will quickly and efficiently get your site visitors where they want to go and will guide them where you want them to go. In addition, our designs employ the latest web standards, which simplify future enhancements, ensure optimal browser compatibility, and provide website access to those with differing technologies – systems, browsers, and connection speeds – and to those with disabilities.
Rich Media
Despite the technical constraints of website design – systems, browsers, and connection speeds – the Internet also offers the exciting possibility of rich media to enhance your visitors' online experience. From DHTML, Flash and Shockwave, to streaming audio/video and podcasting, VIA can select and implement the best rich media technologies for your website and visitors.
When adding rich media, it is critical we employ careful bandwidth management to ensure your visitors don't become frustrated by lengthy download times. In some cases, we provide multiple versions of a media to allow visitors to select the version that's best for them. In other cases, we configure the web server to detect each visitor's technical configuration and then provide the media that is appropriately-sized for their connection speed and screen size.
