Technical Blueprint

"How can we ensure our social media presence is built the way we want?"

You want the implementation of your social media presence or online community to live up to your vision. You want to make the feature, function and technology choices that realize your vision -- the ones that will encourage participation and let you build for the future.

Clear guidance gets the results you want from your development team.

When it comes to social media, your technology decisions can support the kind of contributions you want to see – or discourage your users, drive down participation and limit your choices for the future. We'll get your development process off on the right foot by creating a document that maps out how to turn your vision into a reality.

You get a comprehensive requirements document that is ready for your design and development team to implement. Your blueprint details functionality, page or site structure, navigation and content areas. It includes functional mockups (wireframes) that show you what the major pages and features of your presence or site will look like, so you can have meaningful input into how your project gets built. It also includes a detailed description of user experience and workflow, to clarify exactly how your users will experience the pages and features you have mapped out.

Our technical blueprint will help ensure a solid technology foundation for your social media project, spelling out features and functionality in language that both you and your developers can understand. You'll be able to draw on our development experience and online participation expertise to discover what's feasible and what isn't, and what will help users contribute and what will just stand in their way.

With both visual mockups and detailed text requirements, you'll have a comprehensive plan that lays the technical foundation for positive participation – and social media success.
