TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
Croszones formulate solutions based around clients existing and new system requirements, setting out frameworks for delivery. This ensures that our concepts and technologies can achieve a client's current and future goals. The types of solution we architect include multiple software components (e.g. content management, document management, knowledge management), multiple data storage systems (databases, legacy systems) and multiple business units (different systems that exist within a business requiring the need to be linked together and delivered as a single system through one user interface).		  

Croszones technical solutions are designed within the wider context of the Croszones requirements capture and project specification stage. This ensures unity between technical specifications, conceptual design & high-level technical architecture and the creative and overarching business requirement of the solution.

INTERFACE DESIGN
Croszones develop interfaces that promote a common organisational identity, designed to create effective engagement between organisation and user. Drawing on expertise in Navigation, Information Architecture, Usability and Interface Design we deliver award-winning user focussed environments for customers.
Croszones employs a user centered design approach, this ensures a design solution places the needs of the user at the heart of development. In order to ensure our interface design is appropriate for the target audience we have a flexible 4 stage process:

Research & Investigate content in all media types that is appealing to the target audience. This is done through an initial focus group meeting with example users. Mood boards, key words, image sorting and directed discussions are used to elicit information.

Prototype static designs are developed and presented to the focus group for detailed review.

  
Revise the feedback from the focus groups is used to refine the initial prototypes.

Build the revised designs are then used to generate templates of the build phase. Further usability testing can take place on early html prototypes.
