The fundamental measure of any Web development project is the experience that the user takes away. We believe that in order to deliver a positive user experience, Web sites must be developed based on a thorough understanding of user's goals, skills, and needs - which can only be acquired by obtaining input from actual users throughout the development process.
Although the Internet is an extremely powerful delivery medium, it is important to remember the usability issues inherent to all Web sites and online applications. Web sites designed without consideration for these limitations can be counter-productive, generating a negative image and driving users away. By identifying a site's intended users and applying user-centered design principles throughout the site development process, we can ensure that the purpose of the Web site has been clearly articulated, and that the site's organization promotes effective and enjoyable interaction.
We are distinguished from our competitors by our design methodology and our ability to leverage our global footprint to test multilingual sites with native speakers of the target language or languages, both in focus groups and in one-on-one usability evaluations.
