We developed our own proof-of-concept tool that allows us to easily and quickly visualize a project’s strategy and concepts in a real-life prototype.

From a business point-of-view you can have your ideas evaluated and validated early in the project. From a user’s perspective, concept tests can provide you the feedback that is crucial at this point. And the best part is that any changes made at this stage in the project are far less costly than when development is mostly done.

User interfaces of applications and content websites are often built with the same user interface components. To avoid repetitive work we created a components library. Each component has its best practices and functional, graphical and technical specifications. This is a living library that we update regularly. It is based on years of our own experience and the best practices of an ever-changing industry.

A few advantages of these standardized components:

• The wireframing process is simplified considerably and a level of consistency and quality is maintained across different projects.
• Each component is optimized for search engines and accessibility.
• The design process is facilitated thanks to the integrated tools that are commonly used during the design and development process.

We developed a web-based tool that allows everyone working on an online project to keep an overview of the collected content.

By adding content to the nodes in the tree structure and attributing a status and an owner to each node, it is easier to keep track of the amount of content collected and reworked.
Our Content Centralizing tool has proven its use for both small and larger content projects for which teams are collecting content and need to keep track of what is available. Moreover the content in this tool can be used in combination with the Proof-of-Concept tool to create a realistic demo site.

For UI development we use templates that turn the designs provided by the graphical designer into XHTML/CSS/JavaScript code. This ensures the re-use of code where possible and takes into account compatibility issues with as many browsers as possible.

We then improve the code for accessibility, working with the screen readers used by visually impaired users and optimized for search engines such as Google.
Upon request, we share our specialized knowledge with the implementation team by coaching them on the job or by providing guidance and support throughout the project.

We designed our own framework that simplifies the process of measuring traffic on your site(s) using Google Analytics or any other analytics tool.

WAIA (Web Analytics Internet Architects) enables site administrators to not only define exactly what will be measured but also allows customizing the analytics code to meet individual requirements. This saves considerable time, effort and costs. Thanks to WAIA you no longer need IT-specialists to adapt the measuring information.
