Journey Log:
Our journey begins in Exploration Park, where we can hang out, enjoy some time together to share ideas, inspiration, likes and dislikes. The next stop will be at Discovery Drive to learn what types of trends mix well with best practices based on what we learned in Exploration Park. Finally it’s time to venture down Data Research Road and admire the beautiful sight of all the amazing measurables.
We’ll stop at Cafe IA where all the research gets mixed together. The outcome is a delightfully tasteful sampling of user flows, content delivery, core components and wireframes.
Once the teams agree on the Cafe IA menu, the next stop is the Department of Design & Development. Here is where it all comes together to build an experience that expresses your brand’s personality, while sharing your message and storytelling. Completely branded, creating relevance not just on your website, but in the organic ecosystem.
We top it off with a nice blend of best practices, web standards and WCAG accessibility guidelines.
