User interface and visual design of websites and applications
We begin with the assumption that content is the most important part of any website. The user interface and visual design should be simple and transparent. We develop a coherent and systematic graphic language that can be flexibly combined on a variety of pages.
Detail of FRAME website homepage design
We propose graphic based on grids, harmonic ranges of color, and typography that communicates the identity of the institution and supports a clear presentation of information.
Grid based page design for the FRAME website
Once a proposal has been selected, we develop graphic solutions starting from the most complex pages in the most extreme situations. Generally, these are screens deep in the site or the application. The visual system is then extended to the simpler pages.
Graphic style guidelines
Graphic style guidelines are needed to transfer approved design sketches into a production system for software developers and communications professionals. We create guidelines in the form of sample page images, a library of graphic elements (GIF, vector files, etc.) and written specifications in print and online format.
Interactive animation

We develop interactive animations using FLASH technology to improve user experience. Our project have included interactive maps, sliding and expanding controls.
XHTML/CSS page templates
Web pages are developed in XHTML and CSS style sheets, with optional JAVASCRIPT and FLASH animations. These pages can be used to review the design phase, to support user testing, and as reference for accessibility auditing and evaluation. They become the files from which the site design can be implemented on any content management system.
