WEB SITE AND INTERACTIVE DESIGN: Web sites are today's Yellow Pages – but with unlimited space and color!!

Nothing is more economical to reach unlimited numbers of potential buyers than a web presence. At the very least, each company should have an introduction to their products or services and contact information as more people search for services via the internet today than the telephone book.

But a web site at its potential will differentiate you from your competition, enhancing your brand identity while enticing the purchase. Each company is unique and the internet allows limitless possibilities to showcase this.

Edwards Communications provides copy editing, design, animation and graphics calibration that allows you to stand up and be seen (and heard).

Interactive design is similar to web site development in that I create an interactive interface that is user-friendly to the target audience (see example below). This is an example of engineering and design merging to provide truly radical and useful IT solutions for the general public.

 

Right: Web site design for long time friend and client to Edwards Communications, JP Horizons. This elaborate site is mostly Flash driven, supplying much animation and interactivity, but laid into html layouts. There are many facets and we updated regularly.

Graphical Interface

Today's environment consists more and more of humans interacting with hardware that, in turn, interacts with software. Our engineers are creating more sophisticated IT solutions than ever before. What used to be a solution targeted to a highly educated end-user now often is intended for use by our unskilled labor, elderly and so forth. Designers like myself are finding an exciting and necessary nitch in bridging the gap between the engineer and the public .

Below: I worked with the engineers who developed an IT solution that needed an interface that could be utilized by the average person with little training. I enjoyed this project immensely as well as the team I worked with. I studied many different acclaimed web sites and interfaces and went through many evolutions of refinement to come up with this system and design that is geared for the utmost simplicity in use and efficiency .

The end poduct is patent-pending and I've signed non-disclosure agreements, so much of what is seen below is altered. What I can say is that this merging of design and technology is extremely necessary to the success of IT developers... and to the public!
