  • Website Development

Think of Web Development as Web Design Supercharged.  With Web Design, there is limited interactivity or utility and the purpose of a website is to optimize on Google search, deliver information and activate linear (in most cases) conversion.

With Web Development, a website gets much more depth and becomes a platform.  Businesses can leverage these platforms to offer tools, forums, e-learning, commerce, profile/segmentation, client/guest experiences and full software as a service solution in a multi-layer web experience.

YOUR CALGARY WEB DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS

Our team of experienced web developers have been building enterprise-level platforms for businesses of all sizes for over a decade. We understand that web development requires extensive planning, investment and iteration. Through our Samurai platform, we have developed a delivery system that empowers us to build large-scale systems at twice the speed and a fraction of the cost.

We apply four principles or KPIs into our implementation roadmap to ensure client success. These are:

  • Planning and Structure
  • Persona / User Stories
  • User Experience
  • Scalability

WEBSITE DESIGN SUPERCHARGED WITH MARKETING AND DATA

IT ALL STARTS WITH A GOOD WEBSITE...

For Google:

First, it has to be visible to Google. If Google’s crawlers cannot see your website, it cannot decide if you are an authority on the keywords your prospects and clients are searching to find you. For this reason, your baseline Search Engine Optimization (SEO) must be researched and administered by a professional.

For Customers and Prospects:

Second, it must have well-written, authentically crafted content that clearly explains to your intenders who you are, what you do, what you stand for, why they should choose you and how they can work with you. Designing websites is no longer “just” about beautiful pictures and special effects. It’s about creating dialogue and conversations.  

We have a team of web and graphic designers, marketing strategists, market research analysts that specialize in consumer triggers, published authors and search engine data specialists that come together to check all the boxes, so you can have the highest probability of optimizing on keywords, driving traffic to your site, and then converting it.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE

Does this developer or team have the skills to create my platform? Have they done it before?

Through our Connect library, StyleLabs has built platforms for a variety of clients across many industries. These include:

  • A sign ordering & logistics management platform for a Real Estate Signage Company.
  • A Software as a Service platform designed to manage, track and record inspection data for a major pressure vessel manufacturer in Alberta with over 13,000 assets.
  • An online social network & e-learning platform for fitness enthusiasts. Delivering daily workouts, newsfeeds and a custom friending system to facilitate communication between members and create community.
  • A Canada-wide research and flash polling community with over 100,000 members. Including a friend and audience-building tool.
  • An HR system designed to grow a repository of over 30,000 applicants that dynamically created resumes/profiles through a dynamic wizard. Employers could leverage this service as a software as a service and be dynamically matched to ideal skilled trades candidates based on demographic and psychographic segmentation.

Understanding of User Experience, Conversion and Persona Development

Understanding your audience, creating user stories and knowing how to convert that audience into clients, evangelists or into active community members is just as important as building the actual architecture.

StyleLabs employs a full-time research team that includes RIVA trained moderators specializing in persona development, user experience/interface experts and QA’s / testers. We don’t start developing platforms until a full due diligence and research campaign has been undertaken, wireframes created and validated with the core audience. This maximizes the probability of success while minimizing the margin of error.

WEB DEVELOPMENT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every project has different timelines depending on scope, functionality, and commitment levels/availability from clients. A typical project takes 100-300 hours of development and 50-100 hours of design, project management, research, and strategy.

Once a project is quoted, the primary scope is firmed. Any additional requirements are presented in a secondary scope. Timelines are determined based on the level of effort, milestones, business need, and project velocity. Clients will have the option to extend their delivery date or complete the secondary scope in a subsequent phase.

A retainer of 25% is due upon approval. Each month, hours completed are reconciled on month-end and due upon receipt. This ensures accounts are kept current and there isn't a significant liability on either side at the end of the project.
