Mission Statement

To deliver high quality, innovative, and effective web applications and services that exceed customer's expectations.

 

Methodology

My methodology is based on the idea that Web development can benefit from knowledge and skills in many areas and attention to six main processes. Key to this methodology is a view of the Web as a medium with unique characteristics and qualities.

Developing information for the Web requires a focus on meeting user needs. To accomplish this, my methodology involves six elements and these six continuously ongoing processes:

1. Planning: define target audience, purpose, objectives, and policies for information development and use.
2. Analysis: check technical construction of web with validation tools; evaluate information consistency and verify correctness of domain information.
3. Design: separate information into page-sized chunks; connect pages along routes of use and user thinking; provide information, context, and navigation cues; create a consistent look and feel.
4. Implementation: create an extendible directory and file structure; use HTML tools where helpful; use templates for supporting consistent look and feel; check implementation in various browsers.
5. Promotion: target publicity releases for general Web audiences, potential users, and current users; follow online community norms and practices; innovatively connect with users to meet their needs.
6. Evaluation: continuously and creatively work for improvement to meet user needs; use testing, evaluation, and focus groups to shift and change web's content as user needs change.

As a client, I will communicate with you via phone, email and traditional mail. You may send your marketing collateral as either hard-copies or electronic files. You'll see your Web site as it is being developed on a private Internet site. Your Web site will not be posted for public viewing until it is complete and you have approved all content and features.
