● a much-needed fresh perspective
● focused energy and bandwidth

Looking for free tips, resources & info.?  on applying the art of innovation to enhance and strengthen your business and web strategy / web development / website redesign efforts?

► Keep reading - plus bookmark this page & revisit periodically to reflect on some thought-provoking, succinct material below. You may also like to check out the slides / presentations in the Resources section.
 

We felt that presenting some of the key lessons & insights distilled from years of experience and observation in the form of crisp, visual summaries (slides with questions, short lists / bullet points, and graphics / diagrams) would be a lot more accessible and effective - rather than long-winded essays or papers or blogs!  

Acuity, Brevity and Clarity may have become somewhat less common these days - as the pressure to churn out greater quantity gets stronger - with larger word count / page views translating to more revenues!

But people who have successfully dealt with major goals / challenges under tight deadlines appreciate the value of these ABCs!

Also, most businesses or projects succeed (or fail) not due to some esoteric principles or fads or trivial implementation details - but because of a good understanding and a clear focus on fundamental / foundational concepts (or lack thereof!) 

Before we get started, here's a final thought / tip - just as ingesting food in a rush mode deprives us of their nuanced flavors and nutritional value - we invite you to visit often to truly savor the buffet of materials presented here and in the resources section! 

Feel free to apply these principles/ lessons to your business innovation and website redesign / overhaul projects - and when you need a helping hand (er ... mind), just drop us a line.

Key Questions - on Business / Web Innovation

Insights / Practical Tips - Starting from a conceptual / strategic level & moving to a tactical / implementation level.
 

      What's the secret behind Effective, Results-Oriented Business & Website Innovation?   How are they related?

      Isn't a great looking site same as an Effective, Compelling site?

      How do you take your Business / Website to the Next Level?

      How does Innovation contribute to the success of a Business / Website?

      How do we get started?

  Your WEBSITE / Portal is the face of your BUSINESS / Organization.

    ► Both are focused on Serving the Needs of various Stakeholder / Audience groups.

    ► Their Goals / Audience / Structure / Design / Appeal are therefore inherently related.

    ► Great site & business innovations come from a clear analysis / understanding of these aspects.

Visual Design (Colors/ Graphics/ Fonts...) - is the aspect most easily & readily perceived by users - and focused upon by some web designers.  However, it is but one of many elements of site Architecture & Design - that together determine the usefulness & usability of the site - and how often users will actually visit / return to the site.
 

If you reflect on some of the most successful and popular sites (in various categories e.g. News, Mail, Shopping, Entertainment, Banking, Trading, Education & Training, Online Services etc.) - you will see that what 's common is not any particular slick / polished / "flash"y look (!) ... just as there isn't a movie or home decor style that is the "best" one.   Rather, it is the combination of all the elements and their fit with the purpose, audience and constraints (e.g. budget, pre-existing logos etc.) that make it a good choice. 

Of course, as the saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.  Thus, experts in a particular style may be very vocal (and persuasive!) proponents of that style - but that may not be because it is the best choice for you or your users.  [That goes for technology as well!]

Thus, it is very valuable (both as a user and site publisher) to remember to consciously look beyond the visual design and focus on all the factors that influence the "effectiveness" of the site - i.e. whether the site meets the goals of the site publisher and their targeted stakeholders.

In case you were wondering, here is a quick list of some of these other influential aspects (other than visual appeal):  content / writing style, features, ease-of-use, freshness of content, responsiveness & absence of technical problems, site navigation / structure, ease of searching / finding specific items, how the site fares in comparison to similar sites ... to name a few!

That was a quick summary/ overview of what to look for / strive towards when you are building an effective and compelling website / portal - or when you are assessing a site's potential!
