SharePoint Customization Services
SharePoint has a particular set of challenges related to usability, graphical interface and searchability (given the vast amounts of information that ends up in sites and libraries).
We can help you design a SharePoint information architecture and user interface for your clients to best leverage taxonomy, brand and meta data and make content easier to find.
Strategic design deliverables can include:
- Use cases & personas
- Content architecture (content types, meta data requirements)
- Taxonomy
- Search configuration recommendations (best bets, thesaurus, search UI)
- Wireframes
- Workflow design
- User experience design
- Branded graphical look and feel
AppArchers is highly experienced in customizing and developing the SharePoint user interface and can create master pages which incorporate your client’s identity, colors and styles. Branding coupled with delivering the right information to the right audience is key to enhancing user adoption and can literally mean the difference between a successful or an unused Intranet.
Whether you are using SharePoint as a document management tool, project space for team collaboration or a corporate Intranet, layout is key. Our designers and developers are well versed in usability, accessibility and branding. AppArchers can help incorporate a company brand through customization of their entire SharePoint Farm.
Final design deliverables can include:
- Themes
- Templates
- CSS
- Master Pages
Search: A well structured search methodology allows people to be faster and more efficient in finding exactly the information they need when they need it. AppArchers has the expertise in SharePoint 2010 Search to provide intranet search, people search, and a platform to build search-driven applications—all on a single, cost-effective infrastructure.
Navigation: Navigation is a key means of directing audiences to relevant content. AppArchers has developed a set of usability and best practice guidelines for optimum site navigation. When this is combined with effective search functionality, your website/Intranet will deliver the right content to the right audience within a few clicks or keystrokes.
Accessibility: The Disability Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against disabled persons by not providing them with a service which it provides to the public—including websites. AppArchers ensures your site(s) are accessible and fully tested against standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
Web Parts: AppArchers can deliver .NET web parts and manage the full project lifecycle or simply provide a few days of technical resources to assist you with a particular development issue. We have a team of .NET developers with a wealth of application development experience and excellent track record of developing .NET web parts.
AppArchers can provide expert consultants to customize a SharePoint Intranet or Website.
