Web Practice

The Internet and World Wide Web have transformed business operations, content value and distribution, customer relationships and commerce, and many other factors for many businesses. Gathering the raw knowledge content required to meet these challenges and refining it to the design, navigation and environment expectations of users are the core strengths of the 4Poyntz Dezign Web Practice. An effective Web site requires dynamic user-centric design supported by robust yet transparent technology. We combine experience in traditional design with a high degree of fluency in information architecture, user behaviour modeling and database technologies. Drawing from product development, client relationship and corporate brand planning, the information architect's role is to define a set of blueprints that incorporate time, motion and technology to balance user needs with corporate identity and branding strategies. 4Poyntz Dezign's architects create meaningful connections between the people, business and technologies that shape an Internet initiative.

Web Strategy and Development

Successful Web business development requires the right blend of diverse skills and cultures needed to produce a truly great Internet site. 4Poyntz Dezign's Web Practice brings together expertise in strategic discovery, information architecture, content management, project methodology, database programming and ecommerce systems. 4Poyntz Dezign believes that companies must first establish a foundation for technology and Web development programs. For that reason the 4Poyntz Dezign has developed an intensive discovery process of review, assessment and definition to initiate each strategy assignment.

Discovery process of review is designed to help clients dynamically react to shifts in business needs and technology environments while delivering effective and strategic Web initiatives that sell more effectively, accelerate revenue recognition and shorten time to market. All businesses evolve and so, too, must Web sites. Following a natural pattern of increasing integration and complexity, corporate Web initiatives often start out as vehicles to communicate product information, then expand to target brand building and marketing; and then integrate transaction based systems.

The final goal is to achieve a seamless integration of online and off-line business processes and markets. Next generation Web initiatives reach supply chains, manage customer relationships, become industrial marketplaces and communicate directly through wireless interaction. They provide sales support, propagate best practices across organizational boundaries, return market intelligence and self-update to remain current. Helping corporations reach this goal of the fully-evolved Web enabled work environment is the core competency of 4Poyntz Dezign's Web Practice.

All potential Web activities must play an integral part in the overall business model. 4Poyntz Dezign's Web Practice team is expert at helping clients define strategic IT business needs and has more than a decade of experience supporting companies from various industry segments. 4Poyntz Dezign consultants evaluate business resources, competitive environments, technology culture and organizational readiness in order to propose a strategic plan and delivery platform that is most suited to a client's capabilities and needs.
