Internet Site Development

Building a successful Web site is a multi-disciplinary effort. Issues relating to graphic design, site structure and navigation, database design and development, integration with existing systems and software ... all require careful attention and specialized expertise. Yet, even the best designed Web site is doomed to failure without proper attention to business essentials. Marketing, customer relationship management, and positioning are as important on the Web as they are in any other business endeavor.

Foundation One can provide custom solutions for any Internet presence. Whether you want to set up a simple brochure web site; a detailed catalog or product directory; an on-line storefront for your brick-and-mortar business; or a high-end eBusiness portal, Foundation One can provide the resources and expertise to help you achieve your vision.

While there are others who can also create a web site that looks good, our special expertise is in developing a site that not only looks good and functions well as an Internet presence, but one that functions to best support your business objective. This includes Internet and business strategy, infrastructure design, database design and administration, eCommerce implementation, software development and deployment, search engine optimization (SEO), and search engine marketing (SEM).

At Foundation One, our first step is to get to know our clients and their needs and objectives. We work with you to make sure that we understand your goals. We help you review your target audience and business opportunities, and we assist you in developing an Internet plan that best suits your objectives.

After selection of an apropriate Internet strategy and overall site design, our developers create a professional, cost-effective Internet site to satisfy your objectives and requirements. We use an iterative design process sometimes referred to as Rapid Prototyping. With this approach, customers are presented with a working model of various portions of the site and related software components. In our experience, we have found that providing a working model greatly enhances our continuing development process and interaction with key customer personnel. Simply put, it is easier to observe a working model and provide essential feedback about desired changes and improvements. Storyboards and flowcharts simply do not provide the all-important 'user experience' required to properly evaluate software or an Internet site.
