Professional concept development

Prototypical elements of your portal or Web site are created within the scope of professional concept development: Sitemap, navigation and access concept, graphical page types and key content elements. We offer best practice solutions based on our experience with over 250 portal projects, e.g. on the topic of search functionality.

Sitemap

How is your content structured? How clear is the language featured in your menus and navigational items? We work together with you in a workshop to develop a basic content structure for your portal or Web site. The sitemap offers a visual representation of this structure.

Navigation and access concept

How can your users access the most important content or services as quickly as possible? We develop a set of navigational elements with you to satisfy the demands of your different user groups. Alongside the navigational elements themselves, we also engineer interactive access paths. We take the various navigation types and users groups into account here.

Page types and content elements

The schematic structure of your portal or Web site is defined using graphical page types. Tools known as “mockups” or “wireframes” help provide an initial visual impression of the pages and the required content modules positioned there. The rudimentary, sketch-like quality of mockups is designed to encourage dialog regarding your requirements and prototypical elements at an early stage in the project.

Special topic: Search

Years of expertise as an IT consulting firm give us in-depth knowledge in the field of search technology. Success factors for modern solutions include global searches for people, data (e.g. from SAP systems) documents, catalogs and more. Our IT consultants work together with our designers to create search elements and results lists that are custom tailored to meet your individual needs.
