How We Do It
Creating an Internet Presence
In order to create a website that works for a client, we
take the time to first really understand the client's "mission"
and how it is to be realised.
We need to ascertain:
- WHY is a website needed?
- WHO is the "target market"?
- WHAT is the overall message to be conveyed?
Based upon the answers to these key questions and upon discussions with the
client's key personnel, a detailed specification is then prepared for
the client's consideration.
We work with the client's graphic designers or use our own to create
the "look and feel" required. And, every step of the way, the client's
input is sought and considered in order to produce the required result.
Once online, we then develop a strategy for the client to regularly
update the website or for us to do it for them.
Donor, Demographic & Mailing Databases
On-going maintenance of a large donor, mailing or demographic database
is time-consuming and, unless done systematically, regularly and
meticulously, can soon render a database ineffective.
With the client's "mission" in mind, we first perform a full data audit. This
audit takes into consideration the data's accuracy, the suitability of the
information stored, the manner in which it is stored and the systems by which
that data is currently being maintained.
As well as providing the client with a full, detailed audit report, we
develop a strategy to assist the client to develop and then maintain a database
which most benefits the client's objectives.
We can then assist the client to implement that strategy or do it for them.
Database Development
Even if a client's database is of sufficient quality and quantity
for its purpose, the client may still not be achieving a maximum benefit
from it if the "engine" that drives it is either inadequate or inappropriate.
We take the time to observe the functions within a client's office that utilise
the database and then perform a full database software audit.
This audit considers the suitability to the "workload" of the
software being used - the database structure, the manipulation of
that data and the data retrieval mechanisms that are required.
We then provide the client with a full, detailed database software
report and make recommendations aimed at maximising the benefits
that should be derived from the client's data.
Whether the software is "off-the-shelf" or custom-written, we
then work with the client's programmers or use own to implement
our recommedations once the client has approved them.
