what we do, and how we do it
We're nestled right in the heart of the Pacific NorthWest — in Vancouver — but we work remotely with clients all over North America to support their global network of customers. If you're not fussy about proximity, neither are we. Let's chat!
Planning
Working together to understand the project
Scoping & Strategy
Before your project begins we work with you to develop a scope, strategy, and define the project. Initial planning meetings help us to understand what you & your users expect. From there, we can help you to understand how we will achieve it.
Information Architecture
Websites & Web Applications are complex entities. Information Architectures are blueprints that help all stakeholders understand how the finished product will function, what users will experience, and how everything fits together.
Design
Refining the user experience
Interface Design
Web Application & Website Design are about more than just beautifully crafted interfaces; they are about functionality & usability. Through every step of the design process, we consider how the site will work & how visitors will use it to ensure the end result is a front-end and back-end user experience and interface (UX & UI) that exceeds expectations.
Multi-Screen Design
The internet that was only accessed on computers is fading into the post PC world. With some clients seeing well over 50% of their traffic from smart phones & tablets, websites need to respond to different screen sizes, and display content perfectly formatted for varying devices to improve user experiences, and increase conversions.
Development
Constructing functional, accessible, beautiful products
Content Management
Being able to manage content in a simple, intuitive manner is paramount to publishing new content & keeping your website up to date. Impulse Studios works to make the process as easy as possible, whether you require an open source solution or something more one-off.
Custom Applications
Custom web based applications allow our clients to streamline management activities, gather & organize information, or meet a variety of other needs. We develop intuitive applications through user testing & extensive research to determine how to best align the application to your workflow.
Mobile Development
Developing for mobile devices & smaller screen sizes with touch interfaces requires a different approach than designing for desktops. Impulse Studios works to develop mobile websites which work across a wide array of devices & leverage advanced technologies available in the latest devices.
E-Commerce
Handling transactions online requires special steps both to create trust with users & to remain secure. Impulse Studios is well versed in PCI Compliance & its requirements, which helps us to safely secure transactions online to help keep both users and your business protected.
Deployment
Successfully launching your project to the world
Training
Before we launch your site to the world, we set aside time to go through your new website in person or virtually, to make sure you understand how everything works. Our training helps make the transition to your new website as simple as possible, and helps you get the most out of your project.
Hosting
It used to be that content delivery networks were reserved for the big guys; now every website we host gets optimized for the fastest delivery. Faster pages mean happier visitors, no matter what size your project. Whether you're getting 100 or 500 000 views a day, we can help you make sure your website is always running at peak speed.
Launch
Impulse Studios is right by your side at launch time to get your new website up and running without any hiccups. We also work with you to manage the feedback and response from visitors regarding your new site so we can identify any tweaks or adjustments that need to be made.
Measuring Success
Measuring success comes in a lot of forms, from your company and your users’ satisfaction, to quantitative numbers such as conversions & visits. We don’t consider your website a success just because we delivered what we said; we consider it a success through measurable metrics & business improvement.
Beyond
Keeping your project ahead of the curve
Analytics & Monitoring
Our commitment doesn’t stop at the delivery; Impulse Studios continually monitors metrics for your website to recognize areas for improvement, celebrate successes, optimize performance, and to make recommendations on what you should be doing next.
Maintenance
Successful websites are constantly evolving; that means new content, minor tweaks, & updates. Impulse Studios can help keep your website up to date and at the forefront of technology through planned maintenance, upgrades, and ongoing content management.
