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.
