Introduction to the world of websites
The website is the beating heart of any digital strategy: whatever its’ desired functions and goals may be it remains the primary asset within a comprehensive web communication path Never before has the technical and functional performance of a website been as fundamental as it is today in guiding users towards a company’s objectives.
Analysis: laying the foundations for a successful web project
The marketing analysis of the company is the starting point of every web and non-web activity. Together with the technical analysis of the features, it represents the foundation on which we can start building a successful web project.
But what does marketing analysis really mean? It means understanding a company’s needs and DNA comprehensively, thoroughly. Only by being fully aware of a company’s features is it possible can we start building effective, time-conscious, perfectly-made tools to reach its goals.
Providing highly skilled technical functional analysis, which implies transforming a company’s needs into appropriate technological tools, is also vital.
The creation of graphic tables
Once our savvy technicians and marketing analysts are done the work reaches the desks’ of our graphics department. This is where the magic happens. On the basis of the technical needs and a careful study of the company’s identity our graphic artists start working on the website’s graphic tables.
Studying the UX is vital, as its outcome – the paths a user follows on the newborn website – will determine the layout of each element. In fact, every website that brings good results needs to be studied in detail in view of the objective: what actions will users have to perform? Reconstructing these flows backwards, making them seamless, easy to understand and very simple to use on any web device is our daily bread and butter. Our mission? Creating splendid performing responsive websites.
Technical implementations
The transposition of aesthetics and marketing logic needs to be supported by a high level of technical performance: a good website must meet the strict standards of Google speed and responsiveness as the complex rules of a good SEO optimization. This is why we use open source platforms as the basis for our websites, customize graphic templates and all the necessary code ensuring world-class technical performance.

Annual assistance
The assistance package includes 4 audits per year on a quarterly basis (first audit 3 months after the site goes online) during which we carry out a series of activities to ensure the site’s proper functioning and compliance with the law, and prevent technical obsolescence.
