Rich Internet Applications (RIA)
Web Design and Development
Custom Web Application Development
Integration Services
e-Commerce Solutions
Rich Internet Applications, or RIAs, are a new generation of Internet applications that improve the user experience online by deploying an improved user interface. While RIAs may perform many of the same functions as traditional Internet applications, RIAs have richer, more intuitive interfaces and behave more like traditional desktop applications. RIAs overcome many of the shortcomings faced by previous (and often antiquated) generations of web applications dictated by HTML, like refreshing the screen, multi-step processes, and clunky user interfaces. RIAs are easier and faster to operate, require the use of fewer steps, and provide additional functionality. This next generation of web applications has improved online processes and e-commerce dramatically, while increasing efficiency and providing a significant return on investment.
When it comes to designing a great Web site, our design team brings together a unique and diversified host of disciplines, including:
At Whiteboard Labs, we believe that the process must be just as important as the product, as the end-result is necessarily a reflection of our unique processes with respect to any given project. We value our relationships with our clients, and we make every effort to foster and nurture this connection as we would a personal friendship.
Any given project begins by creating a schedule, getting to know the client and familiarizing ourselves with their business. We then take initiative in the collection of information and content for the site, study it and generate a profile of the audience who will be viewing the content. We work with both internal resources and the client to determine:
Once we answer these questions, we organize the relevant content into an architecture of information, working with the client to distill a compelling and effective layout design and navigation for the site.
If a project calls for the development of an online application, our graphic designers work alongside our programmers; their collaboration is ideal in understanding application requirements, logic, and in designing the overall user interface and consequently the user experience.
Soon, the site begins to come alive with real and active content throughout. And before you know it, we've fused a suite of components together to form a coherent and effective web presence.
The team of Web programmers at Whiteboard Labs works together to create proactive and forward-thinking on-line applications that either can replicate or support our client's operations. Following is a list of some of the applications that we've built on the Web:
Whatever our client's needs, Whiteboard Labs strives to understand these often unique needs in developing highly customized Web applications.
The learning curve of the Web has allowed businesses to think outside the box, and the need to automate business processes is often what brings businesses knocking on our door. Do you have a business process you would like automated on the Web? We're waiting to let you in!
Our extensive work in the hospitality industry has brought us into contact with a variety of back-office computer systems. Many times these systems were not designed to communicate over the Internet. Despite this obstacle, we've discovered and learned new ways to bridge this formidable gap.
Today, Whiteboard Labs has the ability to implement new kinds of technology and programming, allowing antiquated systems to communicate with one another over the Internet. We offer this technical component to create an overall integration strategy that continues to help our clients' Web sites communicate effectively with their back-office workstations.
This ability to communicate with "off-line" systems over the Web offers a great many possibilities. Whether it's a back-end legacy system, a hardware controller, or a remote device, our integration services will ensure new connectivity within your business.
The average, run-of-the-mill website consists of nothing more than information. Sure, information is important, but what if you could go beyond information and actually run your entire business on the Web? Whiteboard Labs has built numerous e-Commerce solutions of this and other varieties throughout our company's short, but distinguished history.
