Image Design
We design Web sites that reflect your company’s image. At NTI, our
approach begins by researching and analyzing a business’ marketing strategy.
We review marketing collateral. We gain an understanding of the target
audience, and how they will use the Web site. We analyze your competition.
We focus on your company image and communicate your message. We create
designs that ensure ease of use, consistent navigation, and optimum performance.
We strive to create a positive experience for the user.
NTI follows industry and internal design, usability, and marketing
standards for Web design. We create Web sites that accurately portray
the company's brand and maximize usability when integrated with Web based
applications.
Design Considerations
Brand, site layout, images, logos, colors, multimedia
Resolution, load time, limited scrolling, content, links, navigation,
accessibility
Browser compatibility, search engine ranking, print capabilities, bookmarks
Site maintenance of content, navigation, links, images
Use of frames
Use of graphics - including flash, animation, and images
Page layout
Content Design
Practical, accurate, and informative - not hype
Concise, scannable, & objective - people read differently on the
Web than in print
Consistent - with one voice and in one tense
Summarized - using lists, captions, bullets & headers
Content Management
Most importantly, Web site content needs to be maintained. NTI offers
content management solutions to empower non-technical users with the ability
to create, edit, and remove Web site pages and content.
Our content management solution puts the power of maintaining the Web
site into the hands of the people who control the content—product managers,
marketing managers, sales representatives, and human resources—off loading
information systems staff.
Content Management
Principle
Allows non-technical users a tool to create, edit, and remove pages,
words, images, links, images, bullets, and columns
Is a form based, workflow interface that requires no programming skills
Includes page types and page elements to ensure consistency and standards
throughout the site
Empowers subject matter experts and content owners to maintain Web
site information
Development
Organizations want to extend business applications to improve operations,
lower costs, and improve customer service. The applications include order
entry, order tracking, inventory lookup, warranty claims, dealer locator,
and product repair.
Sometimes, these types of applications involve integrating with a current
business or legacy system. NTI has the business experience and technical
skills to design, build, integrate, and deploy business applications for
the Web, and interface them to a variety of legacy systems and databases.
We apply a team approach to development. We start with business requirements,
generate application workflow, identify data and integration requirements,
and then build according to specifications.
We combine our Web development skills with our history of IBM mainframe
legacy systems development in Cobol and DB2. We have the skills and experience
to extend legacy applications, maximizing investments made in these applications.
NTI has a complete and proven development process, based on visual,
functional, and design specifications including prototyping, stress testing,
quality assurance, and usability analysis
