New Website Now Live!
New Ideas in Design and Web Technologies
Our latest website was on the drafting board for several months, and now it's time to showcase some fresh design ideas powered by new technologies. Before opening the bottle, we want to share a few facts about the evolution of our websites through the years. The website is now in its 4th edition, and we are delighted to share some facts about the project.
We have used a few trendy designs with a firm dedication to enhancing the end-user experience. On a few occasions, some promising technologies were used in our design with a futuristic vision to learn shorty that the web was not ready to adopt them. So we returned to the drawing board to tune things up before publishing a special edition of our website.
An intelligent web design should consider that we live in an age of fast changes, and what is trendy today will be a legacy tomorrow. So, it takes work to keep a website updated with a dose of user predictability to anticipate a design direction based on user experience. We don't need a crystal ball to design a website, but it helps to visualize or predict the elements of design that will take place soon.
We will showcase the evolution of our websites through the years, even some early mockups that still need to make it to the beta stage.
Our first "official" website was developed in 2000 using the most advanced web technologies available. We were committed to the best web design practice under the support of redirection scripts to satisfy the requirements of several screen sizes and to accommodate the frameset into the two prominent internet brows available at that time (Internet Explorer and Firefox). We were forced to create websites of different sizes to be redirected according to the specific scenario.
We master the techniques on behalf of our customers, despite the cost associated with developing and maintaining several versions of the client's website. However, most customers were inclined to the "solo" version of their websites, and quite a few of our clients preferred the benefits of low budgets sites designed with MS Font Page, which was still a prevalent web design tool used by many.
We designed many web templates using Macromedia (acquired by Adobe), Dreamweaver, Adobe Go Live, and Microsoft Front Page. One of those templates was a beautiful and flexible design that a customer rejected in favor of a more conservative approach, that template became our official website in 2002.
It was customary to hold a website design for a couple of years in early 2000 with occasional tweaking, especially with designs that usefully anticipated trends to come. We were most accurate with our predictions, so we held our web presence longer.
The next edition of the Intellixis website, launched in 2006, stayed within the previous one, so we emphasized the interactive technology to enhance the user-friendliness of the results. We introduced the concept of intelligent forms by using advanced JavaScript and jQuery.
The company's first responsive website was launched in 2014 with three major design revisions, keeping the overall look and feel. We adopted the metro look with a solid "flat" foundation which was very overhyped at that time. As you have noticed, Intellixis favors using the color GREY for its neutral and balanced color spectrum. We pay special attention to the semantic meaning of colors to promote end-user engagement.
This task was a very complex project as we introduced some new concepts in web design with heavy use of rich media content in an up-to-date browser fashion. After some consideration, we decided to "ease" the design a bit to conform with the limitations of mobile browsers and keep the site's responsiveness within the expectation of the time.
We had a great time exploring and implementing new things for the web to be used in some in-house projects.
