What we do - Design
Beautiful user-centric designs and great ideas come together to create websites with intuitive, effective and memorable user experiences. It's all about your users. We work hard to give them exactly what they need and make them smile whilst effectively communicating your brand.
Starting with the User Experience (UX) design, our first focus is on developing Information Architecture (IA), layout and concept designs which deliver your digital objectives whilst delivering the best possible user experience. This can only be done with a thorough understanding of your customers; who they are, what they want and how they want to interact with you.
User research
Research forms the foundations of every successful project. Where there is confusion or doubt, Foresite offers highly experienced and professional qualitative and quantitative user research in order to achieve a clarity of understanding. Don’t second-guess your customers, find out what they really think.
Design
Developing user-focussed design ideas which deliver your brand message, our inspired creative team have a diverse range of web design experience under their belts. From young and trendy high street retail through to serious government agencies, we’ll inspire you with a range of design ideas for you to pick and choose from. Even better, let your customers get involved, a co-creation approach can give your best customers a sense of ownership, helping to build loyalty as well as giving you insight into your customers’ preferences.
Prototyping
We believe that a hands-on approach to design feedback always achieves the best results. It’s all very well looking at static pictures of your intended website to agree design, architecture and user interfaces, but what really works best is seeing it in action using a clickable prototype with real content, designs and features. Using specialist rapid prototyping tools, we can at a very early stage provide you with a very close approximation of a usable site for you to click through and try out. Only then can you see the subtleties of user experience.
We can put prototypes in front of a handful of your intended audience and with some well organised user testing, see what they think. Can they find what they want? Do they navigate successfully through prescribed user journeys? This testing can offer very valuable and first hand feedback from the people who matter the most.
Additional design services and standards
Foresite can even help you with your content, we partner with several talented and experienced content developers who cover a large range of audiences and specialities, even in many different languages.
All of our designs conform to at least W3C’s WAI ‘AA’ accessibility standards and are fully XHTML and CSS compliant so that you can be sure that you are reflecting the right professional build standards.
