In-House DNN Services include: Web Development Consulting

Our expertise in website development goes above and beyond building attractive sites.  We provide clients with strategies, themes, and solutions that enhance their web presence and achieve critical business objectives.

The basic goals of most web presences are not unique - they require either transactions or lead generation as the primary objective.  This does not ring true for all projects, as many do not deal with a standard web presence, but in most cases, our clients want to utilize their web presence to achieve increased sales.  Sales could be in the form of customer inquiries, lead generation, or of course, transactions.

Each project we undertake begins with a discovery and information architecture session.  This process helps us to understand your business objectives and determine the necessary metrics in order to formulate what constitutes a successful project.  Our goal is "success for every client" and we believe we are only as successful as our last client.

Information Architecture

 A website must meet the needs of its users, while simultaneously meeting the business objectives of its owners.

This premise is simple, but integral in the process through which Sclera Design conceives web projects.  By implementing a user-centric design method, we assure that our technology will never estrange its audience.  In fact, our projects increase the user experience, while bridging communication gaps and exchange from one party to another.  We make sure your customers can engage the information, services, or transactions they need in an atmosphere that is hassle free and conducive to repeat business.

At Sclera Design, we want to build a website that solves your business objectives, whether you're peddling antique furniture or selling services internationally.  We know that the uniqueness of the online marketplace demands us to stretch ourselves creatively and technologically, and we take pride in our flexibility as a company to meet even the most intimidating objectives.

The most important ingredient in the development of your website is you, which is why we encourage our clients to be involved in every stage of the development process.  We won't construct a single line of code until we have an adequate understanding of the type of business or service you offer and the issues that require a solution.  And once we begin the building process, we will continue to focus on the objectives set forth during discovery to ensure a successful project.

Application Development

A critical component of a successful site is organization and flexibility.  We believe it is vital that our clients have a complete understanding of how to manage their own web content, and that they are able to alter and update their content as their company evolves.

Through the use of dotnetnuke technology, we offer all our clients the option of an open source content management system.  This enables clients to change content, add pages, or delete material through a simple interface.

We work with and customize content management systems that take a non-proprietary approach to web management.  Although we desire to build lasting relationships with our clients, we don't shackle them to us by retaining rights to the code or programming software that we implement during construction.  This allows for easy updates to their website through any future development resource.

Whether it's the freedom to manage content or the flexibility to experiment with design, Sclera promises that our applications will liberate the commercial momentum of your business.

Skin design and coding

 Our main skinning objective is to build flexible, properly constructed skins that can grow with you as your business grows.

Custom Module Development

With a large community of DNN developers worldwide, many companies have similar requirements.  A marketplace has emerged that offers developers an opportunity to sell their modules. While this functionality is not out-of-the-box DNN, often times, we are able to purchase a pre-built module to provide the intended functionality you require.  The result is rapid deployment, reduced time to market and substantial cost savings!  In other cases, a custom module is necessary.

E-Commerce

Sclera provides comprehensive e-commerce development and support for its clients.  We utilize a host of innovative solutions to achieve e-commerce requirements.

Certain projects require a custom e-commerce solution or web services build out, while others would be well served with a customized off the shelf product.

Whatever the project, we can aid in selecting the proper e-commerce solution for your company.

Once completed, we employ mechanisms that drive consumers to web sites, and ensure that the purchasing process is functional, accessible, and conducive to return business.

DNN Search Engine Optimization

Sclera employs a variety of techniques that increase web site visibility to search engines.  As search algorithms continue to grow more complex, we have diversified our approach to provide clients with methods that achieve results.  We offer a host of organic (natural search) and pay-per-click programs through which our clients will experience increased traffic and higher conversion rates.
