Our
Design Philosophy
Virtualize Networks' design
philosophy, as evidenced by these pages,
is to keep it simple, clean, and
professional; and above all else, convey
the intended information.
Our web site design
philosophy draws on our team's in-depth
knowledge of design and Internet systems
integration. Achieving effective
communication with the Internet user
requires proper marketing thorough the
understanding of how people search the
Internet and what they expect. A good web
site should be designed to:
* be easy to use
* present information clearly
* download content quickly
* reflect the values and personality of
the organization/product
The fundamentals of good
design are critical to Internet success.
Our experience has led us to formulate
some general principles of proper web
design.
Here are some of our unique
principles:
* Information
should be easy to find.
Your prospects should be able to get
where they want in as few clicks of the
mouse as possible. Therefore, conceptual
structure and design of the site is
vital. Menus and options should be on
page one or page two of your site. For a
large site, search capabilities should be
provided.
* Provide a
consistent look and feel.
Readers can easily become disoriented if
each page is laid out differently. At the
design stage, a style should be selected
and used throughout the site. This style
should maintain harmony with the
company's existing image. The
presentation should remain consistent
over time, so that a person visiting your
site will see the same general style from
one week to the next.
* A balanced
approach.
Text, graphics, links, sounds, forms,
search capabilities, animation, and
movies all may have their place in your
web site. However, you must balance one
with the other, and only where
appropriate. Too much of any one element
can ruin the desired effect.
* Cool features.
Your web site should utilize cool
features such as Java, JavaScript, Flash
animations, Movies, Image Maps, Applets,
and more, but only when appropriate.
These should be used to deliver impact in
specific situations, or to make things
easier for the user to understand, but
not simply because some web design
company told you so, or to be hip.
* Clear &
Eye-catching Graphics.
Graphical design is the art of the
future. Our experts use the latest
graphical programs in order to specially
design graphics for your website. Just
like a painting, good graphics require a
certain skill which we can provide to
catch the eye users surfing your site on
the Internet.
* Interact simply
with the reader.
Interactive features may keep the reader
at your site, where they can most
effectively process, digest, and enjoy
the information. A good example of this
is searching capabilities that allow the
user to tap into your database of
information. We can also create a chat
are for your web page which will allow
visitors to communicate with you and
other like-minded individuals. A must
have is an electronic mailing list, so
you can keep interacting with your
potential clients long after they've
browsed your site, to keep them coming
back.
All of these ideas and more
are incorporated into our design
philosophy. Feel free to e-mail us for a free,
