Welcome to Skmatic.com

Skmatic.com uses a librarian's passion for organization and a web designer's talent for visual communication to develop beautiful web sites that work. My credo (yes I have a credo) is that my client's message should reach its audience without the interference that comes from a poorly designed web site. That's why Skmatic.com develops information systems that use the principles of usability, accessibility and information architecture to make your user's experience as effortless as possible.

The Reference Portal is complete (yipee!) and is available for download from this site. It's a departmental intranet that brings together helpful resources for reference librarians. I wasn't able to get access to the database server at work so it simply prints the submitted information to a web page. Still, I think librarians will find it a usefull tool at the reference desk. It definately beats pencil and paper! Feel free to give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

"Information with infrastructure?"

There are a million reasons for a user to leave your web site. At the top of the list are the big three: "I couldn't find it", "I got lost", and the infamous "I can't wait for it to download". Skmatic.com creates finely-crafted web sites that are structured to help your users fulfill their goals (which makes them happy). This is important to you because whether your site is used for e-commerce, education, or for good old narcissism, you must keep your users around long enough for you to deliver your message. Skmatic.com builds web sites on a solid foundation that includes ingredients like clear labels, hierarchical navigation structures, and a pleasing aesthetic. Who needs bricks and mortar?
