knowledge: familiarity, awareness, or understanding gained through experience or study.

Like the Modernists, we believe that “form follows function”.

No matter how beautiful a web site might look, it isn’t worth much if your visitors can’t find what they’re looking for.

Our web design activities are based around the principles and processes of User-Centred Design (UCD). UCD seeks to answer questions about users and their tasks and goals, and then to use those findings to drive development and design.

UCD cuts costs through reduction in development time and rework, and increases user satisfaction and productivity.

How can online communication technologies help your organisation achieve its goals? What do you need to do to effectively utilise all of the tools available to you?

Having a specific strategy for your online activities will help. We will draft a systematic plan, which will be consciously monitored and adapted, to bring clarity and cohesion to your online activities, and improve your organisation’s online performance.

Digital marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the online world, including design, development, advertising, and sales.

To be effective online, organizations need to think more broadly than just their website. An organization’s online presence incorporates everything they (or others) may do and say online, including how they appear in searches, what people say about them in forums, blogs and social networks, and any email communications they may participate in.

A digital marketing strategy will define broad goals for the all online activities that align with the organisation’s strategic marketing goals. It will identify the appropriate solutions required to meet those objectives, and will outline a program of work to implement those solutions.
