| Graphic Design | Intelligent Systems Consulting works with each client individually to establish the appropriate "ambiance" for a web site. The result is a custom-created site which matches your organization's personality/professionalism. | |
| Accurate | Different web browsers can render pages differently, giving them a different look. Money spent on a graphic design is not well spent unless everyone sees the design as it was intended! Intelligent Systems Consulting will develop your web site so that it looks the same for your entire audience. | |
| Usable | High quality web sites are logically organized and easy to navigate, making it possible for you to deliver your message or intuitive for visitors to find what they are looking for. Intelligent Systems Consulting will not only develop your site to look usable, but help with the wording and presentation of the content. | |
Effective | ||
| Targeted | Web sites developed without specific intent and focus will only serve to leave cloudy impressions with random visitors. Intelligent Systems Consulting will ensure that your web site is created with a specific message and audience in mind. | |
| Monitored | In order to determine the effectiveness of your site, it will be necessary to have access to its usage statistics. You should expect to be able to track things like demographics about who visits your site, which pages they specifically see, when they visit, how long they stay, and which web sites they came from/leave for. And� you should not be paying extra for these statistics! Intelligent Systems Consulting can help ensure that you get this information for your site. | |
| Grammatical | Intelligent Systems Consulting can ensure that your site is checked for spelling and grammar before it becomes public. This attention to detail (or lack thereof) can have a dramatic effect on the impression your visitors receive. Intelligent Systems Consulting will make sure you receive the highest quality site. | |
Easily Accessed | ||
| Discoverable | It is of the utmost importance that your site appear in the "result set" when someone searches for you on one of the major Search Engines. Like a "Yellow Pages" for the internet, you must request to be listed in the search engines' databases. Furthermore, your site must be constructed in such a way as to allow the search engines' robot to read and index your entire site. Intelligent Systems Consulting can make sure your site is listed and fully indexed. | |
| Visible | With over 4 billion web pages in the search engines' databases, it is not enough to just to turn up on the result set, but you want to appear near the front of the list, rather than on page 6,000. Improving your listing depends on the content of your site and types of other web sites which link to yours (see Google). Therefore, no automated tool or $29.95 special software can improve your listing; Intelligent Systems Consulting will do it right.

| Operational | Most web sites have some feature or function that isn't working, therefore users are not getting the experience that the company intended. Web browsers ignore any code which doesn't work so that web pages can be displayed under any circumstances. But tell your web browser to report to you that there's an error in a web page, and you'll be surprised to find out how many respectable web sites from respectable businesses have bad code on their site, which means that your web browser isn't able to bring you everything that the company wants you to see. You certainly don't want that problem with your site: Intelligent Systems Consulting will develop an error-free site for you. For example, turn on your error reporting and visit www.belleek.com and click on "Date Your Belleek". You'll get to the page, but you'll also get an error. Some feature or function of the site is now not available.... | |
| Responsive | All of the experts agree: web pages must not keep users waiting; they should quickly appear on the screen. The less information your browser needs in order to show you a web page, the faster that information comes over the transmission lines and is processed and displayed. In fact, did you know that information can be removed from an image's without reducing the image quality? That's because many images have the information necessary to generate a quality picture that exceeds the image quality capabilities of your monitor! Let Intelligent Systems Consulting develop web pages with efficient code and images for you. | |
