Our Approach
TerpSys' Web Development Methodology relies on four main pillars: User-Centered Design, a highly successful development process, experienced project teams, and a tried and true approach to project management.
User-Centered Design
TerpSys not only believes in User-Centered Design, we live it every day. User-centered design is a design approach that focuses attention on users’ motivations and needs during the course of web site and application design. Our process follows a series of well-defined methods and techniques for analysis, design and evaluation of hardware, software and web interfaces, including usability goals, user characteristics, environment, tasks and workflow.

By incorporating user-centered design into your web site or application project, you can:
- Allow users to find information more easily and effectively.
- Move your audience to a desired action - making a donation, buying a product, signing up for your enewsletter, or becoming a member of your association.
- Reduce development costs by detecting design problems early and increasing your web site or application's efficiency and focus.
That's why we place the user at the center of our development process. By employing our TerpSys User-Centered Design Methodology, we produce web sites and applications with a high degree of usability, which means users are able to achieve their specific goals easily and intuitively, leading to satisfaction - and, ultimately, your success.
