Digital Strategy and Research
At McGovern we believe in strategic online development. Targeted research and sound planning are fundamental to creating an effective user centred web experience. We employ various research techniques to find who is likely to visit your website and for what purpose. Research, combined with analysis of your business objectives, underpins our creative approach.
Interaction Design and Interface Design
We design websites and applications that are simple to use and visually appealing. Good design not only provides an enjoyable user experience, it also guides users effortlessly through a site's content and interactions. We blueprint the entire experience using sitemaps and detailed wireframes and test these for user interaction before visual design begins. Our interface layouts produce digital products that are accessible, usable and that comply with web standards.
Development
Interfaces are coded using standards-compliant HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Development of the site may integrate with systems, tools and databases as required. We provide you with Content Management Systems which allow you to edit your website. You will be able to update any page on your site immediately, for example, without any knowledge of coding. We commonly build sites using the DotNetNuke content management system as well as being big fans of WordPress for smaller developments. We offer full training in these systems.
Single Page Websites
There are many cases in which a single-page site is the best solution for the job, especially if there isn’t alot of content needed or if the page is a temporary solution while the main site is developed. Single page websites work well for promoting single products or one off events. They can function as places for people to subscribe to updates and to connect with integrated social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook. See examples
Quality Assurance
McGovern undertakes comprehensive testing to ensure the site or application works well across different operating systems, devices and browsers. We conduct user interface testing as well as testing functionality. We also make sure your site will be accessible to people using text-only browsers and screen readers for the visually impaired.
Project Management
Our robust Project Management methods mean that our projects are delivered on time and within budget. We work closely with clients to ensure you are engaged and informed throughout the entire development process. As a client you can expect regular progress reports, reviews and feedback.
