Creative Services
Shape your community platform to your brand
It's your community. We'll make it fit with your brand.
Because web users are faced with limitless choice, they expect the best. If you're not proud of the way your community looks, chances are your members won't be either.
Four Roads' creative services are based around making your online community look and feel the way you want it - from seamless design to bespoke functionality.
We're flexible. You can work with us in a variety of ways:
- Send it over – you can outsource all your design and development work to our in-house team
- Farm us out - we'll work with third parties or design agencies
- Bring us in – we can work alongside your creative team in either a consultancy, project management or support role - offering strategic advice or leadership on how to integrate your design with your community
All of our work is produced in clean CSS and markup that's cross-browser compatible.
And our creative services don't stop at design. We can transform your Telligent Community site with custom applications and development. Our skills range from widget development and plugins, to Flash animation and CGI.
How our creative services might work for you...
Here's an example of how you might engage with our creative team:
- You consult with our designers and experts about your audience, your brand and the overall goals for your community
- We'll provide a selection of prototypes and draft designs based on your requirements
- Any feedback you offer we take on board until the design is exactly as you want it
- We'll integrate your design and brand requests into a Community Server theme
- You can test the theme and framework on our specially designed test platforms – offering additions and suggestions during the course of development
- Upon final approval, we'll install the files and theme to your server and instruct your technical team on how to use the platform
Sticky content...
If you build it, will they come?
In most cases – the answer is no. Not unless you offer something of real value to attract visitors. Sadly, lots of great content gets lost in the jumble of the internet.
You need to have something compelling to offer. Four Roads can create useful and original applications and widgets – then help spread the word through the social web. Not only can you build traffic, but you can start to create a group of fans and brand evangelists.
