How to connect with your customer: omnichannel experience & e-commerce

UX & design

Experience design isn’t about building a good-looking website. It is about translating the visitor’s actual needs at every step in the customer journey into an intuitive surfing experience. Discover why UX & design are key to engaging users.

Creating the right content for the right persona is a must. Based on captured insights, we map your existing content onto the content needs of each persona. Using a solid content marketing approach, we build a website that delivers the information and stories your users are looking for.
Based on the content inventory, we build an information architecture that ensures content is accessible through intuitive click paths.
Wireframing involves building the skeleton of the website and discussing functionalities and experience independently from colours and images. These can then be assembled into a clickable prototype for user testing.
Last but not least, we develop a visual identity that reflects your brand identity and supports the click paths of the users and your conversion goals. An engaging design is about so much more than pretty pictures.

Omnichannel platforms

Offer a single, unified experience to your customers – no matter which channel they use

With the right omnichannel platform, you can deliver the “buy anywhere, fulfil anywhere” experience that customers expect today.

Delivering an omnichannel experience may be a challenging task, but the right platform simplifies integration and provides a more cohesive and personalized experience across all touch points. What you get is a ‘single source of truth’ solution that accelerates business decision-making.
Customers have become used to receiving individual attention from brands. They want to feel valued and appreciated. To pull this off, you need to know your customers to the core by combining data and information that resides across your organization.
Creating an omnichannel approach is not simply the domain of the marketing department. It is just as much about organizational alignment and strategy as it is about technology.
Becoming a customer-centric organization that lives and breathes omnichannel does not happen overnight. Our agile approach allows you to start quickly but realistically. Together, we tackle this daunting challenge step by step, in manageable phases.
