ShapeSpring has worked with many esteemed brands and agencies. Here are a few.

We offer essential services for web projects, balanced by clear information design, innovative user experience and technical systems analysis.

Information Architecture

Web site information architecture - establishing how content and tasks are prioritized, grouped, targeted and laid out - is critical to success. ShapeSpring collaborates with clients to create a site's foundation, establish information design strategy, and specify schematics for all user interactions.
|  deliverables  ::  wireframes, sitemaps, task flows, content specifications  |

User Experience Design

To understand and establish compelling user experiences, ShapeSpring creates solutions that are grounded in a keen understanding of users, their needs, habits and motivations. We utilize tools and processes that help map and create meaningful online experiences.
|  deliverables  ::  persona charts, card sorts, user interviews, surveys  |

Workflow Design

Well designed workflow is critical to business efficiency and effective user-centered solutions. Our design process considers not just how to get from point A to point B, but all of the dependencies, conditions, event sequences and alternate scenarios in between.
|  deliverables  ::  activity diagrams, use cases, process analysis, user goal definition  |

Systems Analysis

ShapeSpring is unique in our ability to analyze and specify technical system requirements in addition to UX design. From subtle AJAX interactions to detailed data model requirements, our top-to-bottom specifications capture every necessary detail - so developers can build without guessing.
|  deliverables  ::  functional & technical specs, business object models, data migration plans  |

Project Management

Successful web projects are dependent upon experienced project management and multidisciplinary leadership. We've worked every end of web development, from analysis and design to programming and QA, and bring essential guidance, discipline, and process to all projects.
|  deliverables  ::  project plans, scope definition, process definition  |

All deliverables and products are tailored to each client, technical and non-technical alike. We will work with your organization to create a process that meets your specific needs, and effectively communicates essential information to stakeholders.

Creative Agencies

ShapeSpring offers perfectly complimentary services to creative agencies. We collaborate with art directors and designers to build online marketing vision and strategy, and extend brand and visual message to cohesively support user experience. Our black-and-white wireframe schematics emphasize usability and information hierarchy, enabling designers to execute well defined and audience-appropriate solutions. Agencies are able to offer more robust and full-service web solutions without the overhead.

Development Teams

Building complex web applications requires a multidisciplinary approach that bridges technology with creative. ShapeSpring has a long history of partnering with development teams to improve workflow, usability and information design while adhering to intricate data models, business rules and technical constraints. We offer comprehensive system analysis including use cases, workflow diagrams, detailed functional specs, in addition to UI schematics and sitemaps. We can also help manage and execute creative design, working with a select list of designers and CSS / XHTML developers.
