Graphic Design

Today's web users have high expectations for the sites and e-business applications they access even the best "one of a kind identity" or the top positioning will not overcome complicated lingo, confusing documentation, or ineffective processes.

"The website you designed for us is working out extremely well--in fact, just as we hoped it would. We've had numerous complimentary comments. The new layout allows our customers to quickly and easily find the stone or brick that suits their needs while providing some examples of our previous work."
- Wayne Ruth, Masonry Solutions

What do we do? We help companies define themselves, simplify their message, and empower both employees and customers to effectively collaborate in an effective exchange of goods and services. We create and launch new products and services, and develop strongly branded customer experiences on the Web or through internet/intranet portals.

How do we do it? When a client comes to us for web-based solutions, we improve the situation; we don't commandeer their content and splatter our "look and feel" all over their website. While our work is appreciable, the final identity belongs to the client. Achieving this requires an in-depth understanding of our clients' market needs, business, history, competition and ultimate business goals.

The Independent Software creative team works with each client to ensure that their unique web presence does what it should: adds value to the client's overall branding and marketing by creating a recognized, positive, and compelling connection for targeted consumers. In the end, we create well-rounded solutions that efficiently meet our clients' objectives - from enhancing their web presence, end-users' experience to deploying a new technology that is transparent to the user, but essential to our clients' operating efficiencies.

Our creative design approach leads our clients through:

  • Visual Strategic Planning and Persuasive End-user Experience
  • Recommendation for Site Enhancements
  • Graphic Production and Development

We also conduct the following preliminary end-user acceptance tests on the graphic elements:

  • Functional Requirements
  • Usability
  • Graphic Optimization
  • Browser Compatibility/Target Audience
  • Focus Groups
