Rich Internet Application Design

Flickr, Google Maps, Facebook, Mint and other sites showed us what Web 2.0 was really about: video, animation, social networking, and interactivity. Tallan can not only design your next RIA, but we can build it too! Technology agnostic, we have experience building RIAs with Silverlight, Flash, multiple Javascript libraries, and custom code for web-based apps.

UX Audit & Report

Tallan’s UX Team performs a custom heuristic check-up on your application or website and prepares a report on potential improvements to usability, information architecture, interactivity, messaging, branding, front-end engineering best practices, and other touchpoints.

Website Design & Development

It’s about usability. Our UX team maps out the information architecture for your content to get an understanding of the pieces, and a better sense of “the big picture.” This work guides usage at the content level. Using discovery, exploration, and refinement, the design team fashions page templates, graphics, and interactivity that attracts and keeps users. Of course, we make sure the code is semantic, and optimized for SEO and accessibility.

CMS Implementation

Tallan has a breadth of knowledge of Content Management Systems (CMS) and related technologies. We’ll coach you on best practices for content management, and can explain the capabilities and limitations of specific packages. Often, a CMS needs to be integrated into an existing enterprise system. Sometimes out-of-the-box features work just fine, while other projects require custom code written by our cracker jack developers. We apply our knowledge of CMS technologies to create workable designs for open-source, free, and commercial packages alike, and help you find the best balance between features and budget.

E-Commerce Design

You may have heard there’s nothing new in e-commerce. True, but e-commerce is far from being “done” by simply installing software. Once purchased, the design needs customization. Your business brings assumptions and specific needs to the table. Appropriate design choices are made and tested throughout deployment to understand what needs tweaking. Only testing can tell, and Tallan’s developers and UX team will help you design your commerce site, integrate analytics, help test the assumptions, and optimize for SEO. All while improving usability, click-through, and revenue.
