Interactive Website Design

As consumers turn more and more to the Internet to seek information about your organization’s products and services, a website is a primary marketing and information tool. Ensure that your business is taking advantage of technologies that exist today. The iomer design team has experience in a broad range of fields, including:

  • Commerce
  • Online Catalogues
  • Corporate Intranets
  • Product and Service Showcases

The iomer design team also produces websites that are designed to be accessible to consumers globally – even those with disabilities. Today, assistive technology is being used increasingly to help the more than 1.3 million legally blind North Americans, and 10 million visually impaired users with navigation on the web. Vision-impaired users are able to access information and use the Internet just as regular users do, by using Braille enabled devices or vision enhancement technology to read newspapers, articles, forums and research the web.1 When our design team builds your organization’s website, it will be designed for everyone, and thus shall appeal to the maximum number of consumers.

A website design engagement will typically include some of the following activities:

  • Create user personas to define the typical users in terms of demographics, technology, interests and ability.
  • Themeboard development in order to determine brand-related elements for your web property.
  • Information architecture
  • Wireframing or site prototyping in order to develop a design-neutral version of your site indicating placement for content areas, navigation and services.
  • Mockups in order to provide a design-oriented view of your web property, without the added expense of developing the underlying technology and infrastructure.
  • Search engine optimization or metadata scheming
  • Content advisory to help you determine the best way to prepare and develop content for your audience.
  • Usability and accessibility advisory to develop a web property that best fits your stakeholders’ needs and capabilities.
