Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

The opportunities for web design are multiple and enormous, particularly with the tools offered by Web2.0, and so are the challenges web designers face.

Bondonneau eSolutions apply a set of principles and processes to guide us in delivering a site meeting our client's expectation and that will provide his customers with content, usability, overall satisfaction.

  • Know your client
    The principle of knowing your client is really many principles wrapped into one.
    • The web designer is not the client
    • Why does the client want a web site?
      Goals and requirements for the web site
    • What is the client’s industry and what is his perceived position within the industry?
  • Involve your client
    • The creation of a web site is a joint effort with the client being involved at every step
    • The iterative process (Design, Prototype, Evaluate) involving the client ensures that the web site that is delivered meets his expectations
  • Know your client’s customers
    • Understand the elements and balance the forces
    • The competing elements of every design are:
      • the customers
      • their tasks
      • their technology
      • their social con­text

Each of these elements has certain capabilities and limitations that exert forces on the design of the web site. To create a successful site, the designer must understand and balance these forces so that none dominates and each is considered in your final design..
