Building a site is more than pictures and html

It is choreographed media that expresses your business

website design

We see your website as an extension of your business - it's a member of your sales, marketing and technology team. Our use of HTML, CSS, CMS, and databases is key in creating a site that fits you and your audience.

graphic design

A visually attractive layout and graphic(s) is as important as its application. An Incorrectly designed or applied graphic can break down an interaction with a intuitive interface.

search engine optimization

What good is a terrific presentation if you're not being found? To ensure that you get the attention you want, jweb gathers all of the requirements, logic, actions, and data fields before we even start design.

software design

We love building things that fix existing problems or create new opportunities. Every product or project embodies usefulness, strategic thought, technical mastery, great design and attention to detail.

Our process is driven by many conversations

...with humans, robots and some with both in mind

plan A Collaborative Effort (human)

Before we start work on a project, we hold a meeting with you. Scoping the requirements help us understand your organization and how a website or web/software application can best serve your current and future needs. We work with you to understand what your organization does, your point of difference, your competitors, branding, marketing strategies, where you are now and where you're heading in the future.

Understanding your audience's key needs drives the content and tasks required to support your objectives, is the first step to us understanding your requirements and ensuring both your business goals and your user's needs are met. We will make suggestions when needed regarding web standards, practices, and any aforseen issues.

blueprint Directs Wireframe Architechure (human)

Once the plan is in agreement, an important first step in ensuring a projects success and expectations is defining a structure for the content and information delivered by the site; This gives form to each part of the process and planning for users to intuitively access content and interact with site functionality.

jWeb will identify key content elements and base structure for each organization's need and upon approval, will distribute internally, speeding up the design process by establishing what content the user expects to see on the "Go Live Day" and relative priorities before any visual design is completed.

brand Defines key Elements (human)

When an organization decides to get serious about defining who they are, it is necessary to do a bit of soul-searching to determine how the company views itself (from the inside-out), and how it is viewed by external audiences (from the outside-in). These are not always synonymous and our objectivity and insight from both views drive our suggestions and plan - We consider many things when defining a brand:

Logo / typography / visual elemments such as illustration + photography / information presentation / message / print + web platforms / consistency vs. effenciency in implementation

interface Drives the User Experience (human)

Interface design focuses on how a user interacts with a site, it's object or application, and how to make that interaction as simple and efficient as possible. Interface design is a huge part of what makes a successful project and we have a wide range of experience in designing effective User Interfaces across various mediums (such as websites, software applications, and so on.

media development Content comes from somewhere (hybrid)

The internet's constantly-changing media content - such as images, video, audio, etc - should be displayed and managed with highly functional web applications that are now expected with a high demand of control.

We have experience researching content, sourcing appropriate images, copywriting and various other motion-visual content. We know what works on the web, whats out-dated or 'in' and can help and advise you on how to deliver what your audience needs to see to best reap the dividends of your media presence. If you already have the neccesary content, and trust its message to the world, then it is just a matter of handing it to us for placement.

markup It's Code (hybrid)

Development is where the beautifully coded, interfaces we design are given the technical strength to ensure that your objectives, and your users' requirements, are met.

The backbone of every website, XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the technologies that show your site in the browser. jWEB takes pride in producing high quality code, following best practice and web standards, making sure the markup in your site is as flexible as possible.

Content Management System ( CMS ) Integration. Almost all of the digital solutions we develop are fully integrated with a Content Management System, allowing you to easily update, modify, and moderate your content. Wether it is our custom developed Dynamic Web CMS - or an integrated existing platform, we will give you the control you need to make your product flex.

A website is only as good as the content that it delivers. CMS integration allows quick and easy maintenance of content, but we can also help with developing that content to have maximum impact.

hosting Where your site lives (robot)

We can provide fast, secure, and cost effective hosting of your site. Our servers are located in high quality data centers, with daily backups, statistics, and analytics.

If your organization has its own in-house hosting service, we are able to work closely with your IT team to ensure a smooth go-live, and make on-going maintenance easy.

get found SEO/SEM Optimization (hybrid)

Search engines are constantly refining their acceptable practices and it's our job to make sure our client's are in alignment. A site that requires SEO and SEM must appeal to two groups of users; one may be your direct consumer and more will be those who have the power to link to you and therefore, bring more to the door. Getting natural links throughout the blogosphere is a huge asset and proof that people are interested.
