for agencies
As designers we love what we
do but, as is often said, ‘love is blind’. Meleniak can open your
eyes to how potential clients view your site and help you capitalise on your web
site as an effective sales tool. If you are a web design company right now your
beautiful web site could be doing better in attracting new clients. Contact
us to find out why and how to improve it, or to get the welcome reassurance
you are on the right track.

Client
feedback on your agency web site – on the client side you can’t
fail to see how many agency web sites demonstrate alarmingly limited understanding
of web usage. The worst offenders are where prospective clients have to solve
a puzzle, wrapped in a clever and beautifully designed package, to get around
or even enter the web site. Even the most creative of agencies cannot escape the
reality of “can’t use it, won’t use it”. Meleniak can
help you out of that category or make sure you’re far from it |

Advice
on web accessibility issues – The 1995 Disability Discrimination
Act has required both web-based services (internal and external) to be accessible
to those with disabilities
since 1 October 1999. We’ll give your team a crash course on how it affects
web design and easy-to-follow guidelines to use on your client’s projects.

Ninety per cent are aged over 60. In reality, there are around 2 million people
in the UK with a sight problem.” Source: RNIB |

Opportunities for cross referring clients
Apart from being the web site design consultant chosen to work with the whole
RAC plc group, we work with a number of other clients of various sizes. We help
match clients with agencies right for their needs and their budget. Meleniak only
works with companies excelling in the field of new media they are recommended
to clients for be it web design, building ecommerce solutions or marketing online.
These companies may also refer work to meleniak if they are busy or not equipped
to do the work - this can be done under the agency's banner as a freelance or
subcontractor.
Contact us for a no obligation discussion to
understand how meleniak’s brand of usability can work for and with you.
