KRCB Auction Information

TechBuddy has donated two 3-hour consultation packages to the KRCB Autcion. This page describes what the consulation consists of and how it can benefit your company.

First let me make clear that we cannot build you a website in only 3 hours. The result of this consultation will be a Design Needs document that can be used to solicit bids and proposals from most any website-building group.

The document will help identify and clarify the following points:

• How a website (new or existing) can and should relate to your buisness. Just as different types of buildings are meant for different types of businesses, so it is with websites.
• Identify the different types of visitors the site needs to accommodate. Depending on your organization these might include customers, investors, students & families, members of your organization, persons with special needs (e.g. visually handicapped), etc.
• For each group of visitors we will look at how your organization interacts with them in general, and then see where the website can support those interactions.
• To make sure that the site makes sense from the user's perspective we will create a number of User Stories that describe the pages they will require, the types of functionality need on that page, and what should happen when the user clicks a link, checks a box, or pulls a pulldown.

  This process can be simple and obvious, or it can lead to discoveries and insights that may radically change how you see your website supporting your organization's activities.

• Finally, we will explore the security needs of your site. A simple site may have no needs beyond a password for the administator. More complicated sites will need to address proper handling of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, confidential company documents, etc.
