Analysis and mock-up creation
Discussion and content analysis
We start the project by a first talk with the customer in order to define what has to be done and what must be shown on each page. We analyze the websites of the leader competitors to drag the strengths and weaknesses out of each other.
Browsing and ergonomics
The ergonomics of a website is one of the most important element in a website. Our experience of the Internet allow to advice an ergonomic set-up of the site that will point the potential customer to the sought information.
Color scheme and layout

Unfortunately, most websites do not respect those standards.
