When developing any interactive application or communication tools we always consider the multiple goals and needs of our client and their target audience. As part of our comprehensive assessment we define all the audience fragments and identify ways to connect with them. We apply our usability best practices to identify the optimal mix of tools and technologies for each project.

In addition, we determine how to maintain the project's content at the outset of development, to ensure scalability and increase the useful life of the project. Our level of analysis and attention to detail are the key elements which add value to every project we develop.

Our process is flexible and varies depending on the nature of the project. Typically our process utilizes the following phases:

1. Assessment — Define the project scope based on objectives, target audience, marketplace, and available technologies. We draft a framework which will guide all subsequent design and development.
2. Strategy — Identify which technologies and resource are best suited to accomplish your project goals. We will determine the best hardware, software, and development processes for your project.
3. Design — Design and create the media elements, layouts and templates which bring life to your project's framework.
4. Development — Program the applications. This process involves extensive testing and review to ensure optimal performance.
5. Implementation — Migrate application to the live environment. Support or update application post launch. Evaluate project's success.

When your website is developed using a CMS you have the ability to add, edit and delete any of your website content by yourself. Any important information on your site such as text, calendar events, photos, documents or videos, will always be current when you have a CMS powering your website. Furthermore, the form-based interface means it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage.

Best of all, you won't need to settle for a cookie-cutter solution to gain the power and flexibility of a CMS system.
