Services & Expertise
We have extensive experience turning graphic comps into dynamic HTML. We work with the full complement of the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, et.al.
We are xperts in Photoshop and Illustrator and are adept at designing in Flash and editing and producing web-ready video in Premiere Pro.
We code by hand and take full advantage of the flexibility and dynamic nature of cascading stylesheets (CSS). We take full advantage of the usability enhancements made possible by HTML5/CSS3, JQuery, Scriptaculous and other standards and resource libraries.
In addition to normal web sites and applications, we also have experience designing for rich mobile, such as the Apple iPhone and Android devices.
Specific areas of expertise include:
Web Design
Arcflame Interactive has been designing web-based products virtually since the web's creation. Having been in on the ground floor in 1995, we have seen the growth of the web from nascent hypertext to the rich environment it has become. The years between have given us extensive experience in designing what works for the user, even as technology and tools improve. Our experience has given us an intimate knowledge of what users expect in their web experience and what delivers maximum results for our clients.
We design with both the user and client in mind, balancing the expectations of the client with our battle-tested experience of what users expect and want in a well-designed site. In this, we leave our egos at the door and simply do what works best.
Web Site Build-Out
Implementation for us takes two forms, or some combination of both. They are:
Turning a design into an actual product
Often, clients approach us with an outstanding design produced by another design firm, usually a firm they are comfortable working with due to history, logistics, or other reasons. In such cases, our task is to turn that design into a web site or web application that looks as the designer intended, in all browsers. Because of our expertise in both design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and native HTML/CSS coding in a variety of development environments, this is a task we are perfectly suited for.
Enhancing or improving UI/UX on an existing product
We have experience in a wide array of development environments (both commercial and open-source) so we are comfortable working in whatever environment you'r e already using. We have extensive experience working with existing development teams and we consider it a strength that we are able to integrate seamlessly with different parties in such instances. We work with your project leaders in evaluating the existing UI, making recommendations and providing wireframes and design composites for review. Upon finalization of those preparatory stages, we then work in conjunction with your developers in implementing those designs into your existing product or project.
Corporate Branding & Marketing
Arcflame Interactive can assist you in any branding or marketing capacity. We design logos, printed materials and web-based promotional materials, including email blasts, social media applications/enhancements, intertactive tools and web-ready video.
