Website Design
A pretty face is only a fraction of what makes our sites successful.
Web design has evolved significantly in recent years with the advent of Web 2.0.
The increased functionality of the web has turned web design into application design
where form must meet function. The majority of our work at Catalyst is with full
blown web application design and that means our staff is keen on what it takes to
create a functional work of art.
Web 2.0 and why so many acronyms?
The digital world is chock full of acronyms and yes they are over used. Web 2.0
is used to describe web sites that combine disparate sources of information and
utilize advanced browser techniques. New technologies have enabled web sites to
behave similarly to desktop applications and so we've seen a trend toward more and
more web based software. Does is apply to your site? Well that can be answered by
defining what exactly you need your site to accomplish. For purely informational
sites the answer is No. Would you like to manage a blog or incorporate a CRM? The
anwser is Yes. Catalyst has been involved with many large scale sites where Web
2.0 technology has played a key role in their success.
Merging Creativity with Usability
Current web technologies including Adobe Flash, Silverlight, AJAX, and RSS among
others have a become a necessary element to site design. They provide more flexibility
by being able to incorporate usability features seamlessly into the site design.
The staff at Catalyst has the experience and technical knowledge to create a site
both visually appealing and productive.
