GOOD WEB DESIGN WILL CREATE YOUR BEST SALESPERSON, WORKING 24-7

For many businesses, the web is often the first place that people get to know you. We all know the importance of first impressions, so if your website design isn’t focused on your target audience then can you calculate just how many potential customers you might be turning away? Serious consideration must be given to this as potential clients will  judge your business through the experience provided online by your website.
 
Small businesses with relatively low brand awareness have to build trust online, and the way to do this is through good quality web design that also encompasses elements of professional photography and copywriting. Investing in quality web design will go a long way, get it right and it will be your hardest working salesperson, 24-7.
 

Let us look at your requirements and then put together the correct technical delivery. Lucie Framinet, the Senior Corporate Marketing Manager at Dishman Carbogen Amcis, did just that and this is what she had to say about the service and delivery we supplied:

“We realised a complete recast of our Carbogen Amcis website and we are so pleased with the result! SemiStone Media supported us during the full project: helping us choose the right CMS, building up a strong platform which complies with all current technical requirements and creating a strong and unique design which makes our website powerful and outstanding.”

OUR APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

We approach each project as a true collaboration in conception. We offer our expertise and guidance whenever needed to ensure that the entire process is as smooth and error-free as possible. SemiStone Media’s commitment to quality is with you from concept through to postimplementation support, so you can be assured both during and after the development process.
 
We believe the creation process begins the moment we connect with our clients. Our goal is to provide strategies and solutions that go beyond the expected. To make sure we deliver, we embrace the creation and conception process. Through this process we ensure that we listen thoroughly to our clients expectations and needs.
 

Our approach to all of our web and software production involves the six staged agile life cycle of development: Analyse, Design, Implement, Test, Deploy & Maintain.

OUR MANAGEMENT APPROACH

We approach each client engagement using a defined set of policies, processes, and procedures. Each client is assigned a project manager who is to be heavily involved in either the technical or creative side of the build – ensuring that the project management isn’t left to someone who simply fills out time sheets and acts as nothing more than a bridge. They are involved hands on and will have a full knowledge and understanding of the project, the creation, implementation and design.

This person acts as the primary point of contact for your organisation. They will guide any other members of the team through the development process to ensure timely and high-quality completion. The SemiStone team use a comprehensive set of checklists, tasks and procedures that are tailored to each client. Daily project status meetings are held between the team, that focus on answering three questions:

  1.  “What have you done since yesterday?”
  2. “What are you planning to do today?”
  3. “Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?”

This transparency and daily review of progress mitigates risk and ensures that close management of the project occurs at every stage. SemiStone Media utilises many technologies to manage projects, including GitHub and Asana. These systems allow us to systematically manage complex projects.
