Our Services

We gather feedback from end users and consult with internal stakeholders to ensure that CDL services meet users’ needs and organizational goals. We also assess and define front end user interface requirements early on to mitigate impact on the design and development process.

• Content inventories and audits
• Define project goals
• Front-end technical feasibility research
• Gather functional specifications

Based on the user needs uncovered during the assessment phase, we develop functional specifications and requirements, user interface designs, information architectures and page layout specifications that provide the blueprints for new products and services. During this design stage, we conduct usability testing to ensure that the target audience can efficiently and successfully complete the tasks they set out to do.
