User Interface Design
Foundations
A successful website can be many things - a point of reference, a shop window, a marketing tool - even a community.
Whatever size or type of your organisation; an established retailer needing an online store, a public service information provider, a membership club, school or church – and everyone in between – we can build an informative, fully-featured website for you.
Solid as a rock…
As Adobe® Business Catalyst® certified partners, all of our websites are built upon rock-solid foundations with Adobe® technology and hosted by Adobe® in world class data centres with a full Service Level Agreement. This means that our clients benefit from an entirely personal, collaborative relationship with Digital Forest, whilst enjoying the confidence that partnering with Adobe® brings in terms of compliance, security, reliability and future-proofing.
Approach
Our approach is a holistic one - we provide an end-to-end service, from an initial needs assessment through planning, creative and site building to implementation and full management, including Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM).
Looks aren’t everything...
Now, don’t get us wrong - we are passionate about design and creating beautiful websites - but we’re not completely shallow! To us, success isn’t just about producing a beautiful website - it’s about producing a website that really works for our clients. Too often, we meet new clients who have previously invested in a website that looked fantastic but which now lies dormant because updating content proved too complicated (or too expensive) and nobody really understood how to implement effective digital marketing techniques to promote the website and harness visitor information.
The Digital Forest approach is to work with you from the very start to gain a real understanding of your organisation’s needs. From there, we create a website that is a perfect fit and provide the tools (and the knowledge) which enable you to maintain and utilise your site’s valuable content and data once it’s up and running.
Our key objective is that your website is completely usable, gives you a point of difference and results in real business benefits.
Content
A major part of any website is content. Not just any content - we mean content that is fresh, informative, engaging and optimised for search engines. If your website looks great but the content is dull or stagnant, the chances are that people will visit once or twice and then never again. On the other hand, if your content is bright and regularly updated (for example, blog pages and news items), visitors are much more likely to keep coming back.
Words don’t come easy?...
Whether you have existing content that needs to be improved and optimised, or if you just don’t have the time and would like our copywriter to create a completely new set of content, Digital
Forest can provide as much help as you need to ensure that the content for your website hits the right note.
But it doesn’t stop there. Once your initial content is in place, we make sure that you know how to maintain and enrich it using smart, intuitive tools (which are provided as standard).
