STRATEGIC PLANNING & RESEARCH
Strategy development and the research that drives it is a
combination of art and science. A statistically sound, scientifically correct
research rigor needs to underpin the ability to make creative connections of
past and current data. We follow accurate research methods to provide the very
best data gathered through online surveys, usability testing, and focus groups.
Then we collaborate internally with team members of different backgrounds and
with clients to brainstorm the best strategic approach based on this data.
WEB DEVELOPMENT & CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Our team of experts on the Internet medium know how to make it
work with your strategy, objectives and audience. In designing your site, we
keep in mind the issues of usability, color selection and contrast, HTML
limitations, hardware variables, functionality, image size, resolution, browser
compatibility, connectivity, and download times. We also make sure that your
approach will last and adjust with your business, including updated and changing
content that speaks to your audience. That's how you get people coming back to
your Web site - and telling their business acquaintances and friends about it.
Infostat has managed content for sites that have strict legal or regulatory
requirements and for major event sites that require continual content changes
throughout the day. We provide our clients an online project management tool to
help keep the process organized. Annual plans, weekly reports and quarterly
strategy meetings are all part of the process to keep your site on plan.
DESIGN & USABILITY
Interactive design is fundamentally different than print, TV or radio. To be
successful, navigation, visual design and content must appeal to the target
audience and foster an ongoing brand/customer relationship. Our team of
designers, producers and writers know from experience and research what works...
and what doesn't. Brand strategy documentation, tone boards, creative briefs,
timelines with ownership identification and prototyped wireframes insure that
creativity and innovation are shared by the client and work to build online
brand equity.
PROGRAMMING & DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Our technical work leverages our two strengths - an understanding of a variety
of programming languages and software packages, and our systems work that
understands the platform on which this programming runs. This means that our
programming is developed keeping in mind the most efficient use of systems for
best performance. Our knowledge base of hosting systems enables us to host
different modules, assist with set up, or install in your hosting environment
since we understand both the programming and the systems.
TRAFFIC BUILDING & REPORTING
There are more than three billion pages on the Web. Getting an audience to your
site won't happen by accident and not getting the right audience means no return
for your investment.
We understand how people find what they find on the
Web, and we know how to get them to yours. We have helped new sites get off to
the right start and have significantly increased traffic for well-established
sites.
WEB PERFORMANCE & REPORTING
Interactive marketing can be measured and analyzed in a manner that provides
consistent performance reporting. We have developed several approaches to
measure individual projects and compare them to others for benchmarking. Our
years of experience in working with interactive, also provides us insight into
what the data means, and we provide reports that can help your team take action.
