It’s more than a redesign. It’s a new opportunity for your organization.
Research. Input. Collaboration. Strategy.
Discovery forms the foundation of any successful project. And no two projects are the same.
At iFactory, we take the time to understand your project within the broader context of your organization to ensure you get the buy-in and support you need to make the site your users deserve.
Combined with insights from your team, research methods, and market research, we then develop a cohesive website digital marketing strategy to guide the rest of the project and set expectations with core stakeholders.
A true redesign is 50% digital communication and 50% change management.
PETE GAIONI | VP of Strategy & Account Services
Key to the success of any new website is a strong understanding of the entity and its audience, along with institutional buy-in. iFactory's comprehensive discovery phase did a great job on those fronts.
