Website Design

Web design is similar (in a very simplistic way) to traditional print publishing. Every website is an information display container, just as a book is a container; and every web page is like the page in a book. However, web design uses a framework based on digital code and display technology to construct and maintain an environment to distribute information in multiple formats. Taken to its fullest potential, web design is undoubtedly the most sophisticated and increasingly complex method to support communication in today's world.

Here at Cytrius we believe in 4 key aspects when designing your website:

Content

The substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.

Usability

The site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.

Appearance

The graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.

Visibility

The site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.

Software Development

There are many aspects to consider in the design of a piece of software. The importance of each should reflect the goals the software is trying to achieve. Some of these aspects are:

Compatibility

The software is able to operate with other products that are designed for interoperability with another product. For example, a piece of software may be backward-compatible with an older version of itself.

Maintainability

The software can be restored to a specified condition within a specified period of time. For example, antivirus software may include the ability to periodically receive virus definition updates in order to maintain the software's effectiveness.

Modularity

The resulting software comprises well defined, independent components. That leads to better maintainability. The components could be then implemented and tested in isolation before being integrated to form a desired software system. This allows division of work in a software development project.

Reliability

The software is able to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time.

Security

The software is able to withstand hostile acts and influences.

User Interface Design

Interface design is involved in a wide range of projects from computer systems, to cars, to commercial planes; all of these projects involve much of the same basic human interactions yet also require some unique skills and knowledge. As a result, designers tend to specialize in certain types of projects and have skills centered around their expertise, whether that be software design, user research, web design, or industrial design.

SEO & Consulting

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.
