Analyses Corporate objectives Creation of an appropriate solution must always start with a fundamental understanding of the organization's objectives and strategy. This does not just include marketing and sales, but the full range of business processes. Online objectives These objectives follow and support the corporate objectives for every business process. At this stage, DuJun Studio can provide analysis of competition on the web to help to adjust the strategy. Strategy Key elements of the strategy should include target audiences, systems to be replaced or integrated, desired outcomes and milestones. From this a detailed summary can be prepared for each phase, which DuJun Studio will undertake with the client. Online strategy has tended to develop in a phased approach, giving time to get comfortable with e-business. Selling via the web is a natural progression, but the real value is creation of communities for e-commerce, targeting suppliers, partners and clients. Website Development Process The development of a web site needs to be planned carefully in order to ensure that it meets your organisation's requirements and expectations. The starting point is to have a clear understanding of what it is that you want the web site to achieve. What is the overall 'vision' of the site? Once you know what it is that you want your site to achieve, you then have to determine budgets, staffing resources and timescales. At this stage, you can set firm aims and objectives for your site regarding your desired number of visitors to the site, number of sales from the site, content and design, details and how the site is to be launched and promoted. Once the site has been launched, it is essential that a feedback mechanism be put into place in order to assess its effectiveness. The diagram below highlights the stages involved in the development process.
Database Integration Will your web site contain a large amount of information? Will your site content need to be changed or updated regularly? In this case you may need to consider database integration options. Using database software to manage and update your site can be very cost effective and time saving. We will advise to include product details, pricing, technical support data, quality or performance statistics or any aspect of your business that involves a large amount of data that you want to promote through the Internet. Remember: A visitor can come to your site at any moment. The information they are looking for must be accurate and fresh, and it must be maintained at all times. DuJun Studio will recommend the best way to develop appropriate solutions. Technologies we use: Presentation DHTML, HTML, XML, Flash, Shockwave, Swift Generator, Ipix, QuickTime and more. Client server interaction Perl, CGI, Cold Fusion, PHP, ASP, C++, Java Database applications MySQL, Access, Oracle Platforms Unix, Linux, Windows Animation / Rich Media Multimedia is the heavy artillery for the Web. When properly used it can have a serious effect on your sales, image and promotional issues. We assist you in understanding the vast possibilities and limitations of multimedia for your project and can build and develop strong presentations of your vision in dynamic formats such as video, audio and Flash animation. Multimedia is the combination of sound, music, graphics, animation, photography, and video to give your target audience the maximum of the information delivered. Studies have shown that information is retained: 20% by hearing, 40% by seeing, and 80% by doing. Interactive multimedia catches the user's imagination through 'doing', providing them with the highest level of retention. Testing Procedures Quality During the process we verify what we are delivering according to technology standards. From a production perspective we are looking for the best balance between design and download time. The quality of the coding is carefully monitored to ensure its consistency. Functionality We work closely with each client/developer customizing their requirements, fitting quality around budget. Bad links and awkward navigation give a poor impression of your website. It is important that the mechanics and structure of your web site are settled before you publish. Usability Usability of a website is determined by user satisfaction. We check how easy the visitor can learn and remember your site's organization and functionalities; user effectiveness, efficiency, finding information needed or completing an e-commerce operation. We monitor: Consistency of presentation and controls across the site Natural organization of information: clear structure, systematic identification, clear and meaningful labels Contextual navigation within the site Efficient navigation: time and effort the user needs to move around the site Adequacy of feedback Searchability: how effectively the site content can be sought in search engines Compatibility Compatibility testing verifies the operation of an Internet product on many combinations of hardware and operating system platforms utilizing all popular and relevant browsers and plug-ins. Operating Systems Windows, Mac, Linux Browsers/plug-ins Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla, AOL, Real, Media Player, Flash/Shockwave Connections DSL and modem Website Design Portfolio New projects are often added as soon as they are launched and sometimes (with our clients' permission) we even give you a preview of sites under development. Sites have been chosen for this section to show a selection of our work. All the sites incorporate interesting features; some have flash animation, some have database integration and others have e-commerce sections. You can be sure that all the sites are aimed at well-defined target audiences and all are constructed with thorough quality control. In addition to this all sites can be easily optimized for search engines. |
