Semiotx
We help decision-makers write Requests for Proposals (RFP) and evaluate prospective vendors for Content Management Systems and web development. We help creative, management, and IT teams learn to communicate for effective project development. We help develop effective messages, using semantic and typographic principles, leading to strong brand positioning and clear, focused identity in all media.
What is semiotx.com?
Web technology is constantly developing and changing, and prospective service vendors can ramp up the jargon-filled marketing. We help you define your essential requirements and craft a definitive RFP to present to vendors as a blueprint of your needs and expectations. We'll sit down with you in your meetings with service providers, ask the important questions and translate the tech and marketing lingo into the language of business and mission solutions.
After vendors present their proposals, we sit down with you to evaluate each one to make sure the services proposed are a perfect fit to your needs, crafting requests for more specifics if needed. We review contracts for 'best practice" guarantees, and give you the confidence to move ahead with complex web projects and transitions.
What is Free Range ITâ„¢?
We help creative directors and decision makers to transcend cultural communication issues with information technology teams. We can act as an interpreter, sitting with all parties to make sure that jargon and acronyms do not derail productive processes, helping to assure that web projects are done on time and on budget.
