A fresh approach to web development and IT projects
Expert listening, detailed specifications, collaboration tools and more...
In addition to our business analysis skills and experience, our careful listening and our interest in what you do, these key traits help us to ensure that we pull out the stops on your project:
- detailed specifications - the best intentions in the world can still come to nothing in the absence of a good, detailed specification. Creating an accurate and detailed plan for what you want to create or do will save money, time and effort, and help to ensure success in the long run.
- less is more - many a good project has come in late and over budget due to over engineering. We subscribe to the school of thought that says less is more, and we always look for the simplest most effective solution available. Often, this is also the most cost effective too.
- tools for collaboration - we routinely make use of a wonderful, super effective online collaboration space for sharing files, timelines and other project assets with our clients. This great tool helps us to stay on track together. We can even track our time and document key decisions in this space.
In our client's words...
"From our earliest conversation through to the completed website, the experience of working with Dagne and Earle of Foil Media has been a delight. I was impressed with the quality of their listening, the intelligence of their questions and the sensitive translation of my requirements into words and design. Barclay McMillan, founder, Voice Emergent

"Finally, their website is as awesome as the store!", overheard on OttawaFoodies.com about our new website for The Piggy Market
Did you know our first meeting is always free?
No kidding! We don't tend to respond to blanket RFPs, because rarely does any organization have its head sufficiently around its requirements to request quotes that will enable them to compare apples with apples.
We encourage all prospective clients to take a couple of hours to sit down with us to get into the nitty gritty of their project, as well as to share their larger goals and plans. From this, we can usually work towards a relevant and appropriately costed proposal.
If nothing else, prospective clients walk away with some excellent, free ideas. In the best case scenarios, we discover that we'd work really well together and well...you can visit our Portfolio page to see what we can accomplish.
