Learn More About UsWe love to organize! We will conduct a content audit and map your content to corresponding audiences and solutions. Real content is included throughout the process to address any boundaries, create visual impact, and provide clear, accessible information.
Whether you need a new website or a redesign — we will first get to know you, your goals, and your operational style before we begin, resulting in a successful design process and your full satisfaction with the end product. We use standards-based coding practices utilizing the latest proven technologies to build websites that are accessible and aligned with current industry best practices.
From logo and wordmark design, to determining your most effective tone and voice for copy and graphics. There is no Following Sea “signature design style” because our goal is to build solutions that reflect who you are, not impose a design paradigm of our own preference on you.
We build responsive and accessible websites. Your website should work for you, and every one of your users. With a mobile- and tablet-friendly design, your site visitors will have a delightful, frustration-free experience.
We utilize a user-centered, content-first approach to website design. We believe that content serves the user and design serves the content. “User-centered design involves simplifying the structure of tasks, making things visible, getting the mapping right, exploiting the powers of constraint, designing for error, and explaining affordances.” [1]
We believe your content — its organizational structures, delivery mechanisms, as well as tone and voice — are as much a part of your brand as your logo and brand colors. We define, or re-design, your brand identity — and determine the ways in which your content can support it.
Our Content Management System (CMS) of choice is the flexible and powerful MODX content management system. A website built with MODX puts you in the driver's seat. It allows you to make timely changes and keep your site visitors informed and interested. It might also give you a heady sense of power.
