Our Services
Want to improve your app’s usability, organize your intranet, or refresh your website? Steeple Ashton can do all that and more.
We want your small business to grow and succeed on the web. That’s why we provide the following services to our clients.
Application Interface Design
On the web, there are two main kinds of websites: those that “say” something and those that “do” something. Application interface design is just a fancy way of saying we make sure the websites that “do” something do it clearly, comprehensibly, and usably. Whether working with a company’s existing development staff or coding the application ourselves, we make sure that the web interfaces we design fit the needs of all users, novice and expert.
Our application designs include:
- an interview and transcription management platform
- online shopping carts
- a transaction & account activity dashboard
Information Architecture
Strip colors, eliminate functionality—at the core of every project exists content. Information architecture describes all the ways content can be labeled, categorized and emphasized so that it can be found, understood, and used. By examining site usage, analyzing search logs, and performing user surveys, we’re able to help our clients better organize all of their existing content—from a website’s navigation to a content management system—and make it easier to accommodate new content too. But for us, IA doesn’t just cover the relationships between different pieces of content; it also includes how information within a page, chart, or presentation can best be arranged to maximize its impact.
Our IA work includes:
- a state’s first web portal
- an agency’s 6000-page intranet
- an online directory of 3500 dental continuing education courses
Web Design
Not all companies require an online application or a robust information architecture. But it’s not a stretch to say they all need websites. As the easiest way for potential customers to find out about you, your website has the potential to either suck them in or drive them away forever. By understanding their business goals and the needs of their users, we help our clients develop an online presence that not only generates search engine traffic to their websites but also generates the kind of leads that makes the web the most cost effective way to get new business.
Our web design work includes:
- a metal artist’s online gallery, estore, and flash game
- an award-winning luxury homebuilder’s portfolio
- a merchant account provider’s website
Application Development
In addition to designing applications, we also develop them, which makes it easy for a client without development staff to get the functionality they want without the additional time and expense of finding a separate development company. And because we do both design and development, it means that the finished product is much more tightly focused on what the original interface designs intended. We primarily code in PHP and Ruby on Rails, although we have other resources available that can provide support for Python, Perl, Java and .Net.
Our application development includes:
- a meal preparation reservation system
- a course registration & management service
- an investment tracking program
Other Services
Most small business owners wear a lot of different hats—one minute you’re closing a sale, the next minute you’re answering support calls, and still cleaning the toilets at the end of the day—and so do we. Although our main focuses are on web and application design and development, we also help clients with a variety of other technical needs, including
- Blog design and implementation
- Copywriting and editing
- Search engine optimization
