An effective Internet presence starts with an understanding that the user - your customer - is the most important factor in determining the success of a website. When properly executed, a site offers the following value:

• Provide effective exposure and enhance the overall image of the organization
• Serve the needs of your customers and provide a new dimension for communication
• Leverage application technology to improve process efficiencies

The scope of UIM's work ranges from simple branding solutions and content management systems to secure corporate Intranets and portal development. Creativity and functionality are equally important in helping clients maximize the returns from their Internet investment. Collaborative web development requires a commitment to understanding. UIM is dedicated to work with clients to develop, manage and promote their web site.

For the success of each web site, it is essential to start with an analysis of the site objectives. While technical team members use the first stage of development to define the infrastructure of the site (planning for maintenance and growth), the designers will work on visual prototypes that will be tested for viability.

Once the initial visuals have been approved, a prototype web site is constructed so that navigation, usability and functionality can be tested. Production proceeds once the prototype is approved and concludes when quality assurance testing is completed.

UIM applies a proven methodology combined with the knowledge of both print and electronic media. We are in touch with the strategies and the most capable technologies to achieve the most powerful Internet vehicle for your company.

UIM provides a seamless integration of website information architecture, custom applications, copy, and graphic elements combined with an almost obsessive attention to detail.
