STRATEGIC CONSULTING
If your website is not telling your story correctly, if it's not representing your brand the way you'd like it to, or if people simply cannot find you on the Internet - these are problems we solve. We take the time to discover the goals for your website. We take the time to carefully research the competitive market you're in. And we create solutions that produce results. Typical deliverables from our web strategist include business goals summary, success metrics and key performance indicators, competitive analysis, website audit, and web marketing plans.
USER RESEARCH & USABILITY CONSULTING
Ever wonder what your users think about your website and how they use it? Where are they stumbling and where are they satisfied? Finding out is often a fascinating and eye-opening process. Our research team can design and execute research plans that connect you directly to the minds of your website visitors and direct your new or updated website down the right path from the start.
ARCHITECTURE
Every structure needs an infrastructure, and a website is no exception. A website can end up harming your brand and your bottom line more than helping it if the site hasn't been built with the long view in mind: sound organization, intuitive hierarchy and room for long-term growth. Our architects have built websites of every size across dozens of industries. Deliverables such as a complete website map, page wireframes, a content plan and technical specifications will help get your website executed correctly.
CONTENT strategy & DEVELOPMENT
Content is the single most important element on your website. Professionally developed web content not only makes for satisfying user experiences, it enhances your brand and it attracts search engines. Your website's content should never stop evolving, and ensuring that it meets industry best practices requires an experienced, skilled web writer. Williams Randall content developers are experienced at providing keyword analyses and recommendations, search engine optimized copy and we have refined a controlled copy routing process.
WEB DESIGN
Without sacrificing brand or beauty, our designers respect and apply the principles of user-centered design to page layouts, navigation methods, color choices, copy, form designs and every other design element on your site. The focus is on functional and design simplicity, proximity, relevance, and visual hierarchy - themes that ultimately will create a page that allows your users to quickly locate what they're looking for or to accomplish the task at hand.
ENGINEERING
A soundly programmed website has as much impact on your users' experience as the copy and design. It also has an incredible impact on how easily the site can be maintained going forward, and how ready it is to grow and change alongside your business. Our engineers stay fully educated on the most recent advancements in browser technology, mark-up languages, CSS and web engineering best practices. We also build sites that are fully updateable by non-engineers through content management systems, or CMS.
URL REGISTRATION, HOSTING & SSL CERTIFICATES
Our technology team is well versed in all the "paperwork" that comes along with owning space on the Internet. If your site is new, our team can guide you through the beginning steps of launching your website. Once your website is built it can live wherever makes the most sense for your business. We are fully capable of hosting your website on our servers where your files are safe, secure and easily maintained by our technology team.
WEB TRAFFIC ANALYTICS
It's imperative to monitor the traffic your website receives. Our analytics department is experienced with monitoring web traffic and making sense of what those numbers mean. With today's analytics tools, we can dig to granular levels of this data and ensure your site is performing as it should and make recommendations for doing even better. If needed, Williams Randall can add code to your website to install Google Analytics to record data about the traffic on your site. Our analytics team is also experienced with defining trackable, measurable goals for your website and can prepare a plan for you to help optimize the effectiveness of your website over time to make sure you are seeing the maximum return on your investment.
MAINTENANCE & SEO
Regular front- and back-end updates keep your website relevant to your customers, prospective customers, partners and search engines. Our web developers are informed on these complex and ever-evolving web technologies and can ensure that your site stays up to industry standard by making appropriate upgrades. And just as important is the front-end of your site, where keeping your message fresh can capture new audiences and bring back repeat visitors.
