Making your site searchable
Today’s web visitors often know exactly the information they want to find. Instead of using site navigation buttons, many go straight for the ‘search’ field and type in the keywords they’re looking for. We can help you enhance your site’s searchability—starting with a clear definition of your requirements.
Understanding your requirements
Is your data structured or unstructured? Are you powering an e-commerce website or working within an existing e-commerce platform? Do you want your search to have the intelligence to correct spellings and recommend related—or more precise—search terms? Once we’ve nailed down the requirements, we choose a search technology suited to your site, your organization’s identity, and your users’ needs—customized depending on whether you draw from a single data repository, large or multiple content sources.
A successful record
We have carried out a number of enterprise search projects for such clients as the Canadian Museum of Civilization, CBC, Rogers Media, MyGroceryDeals.com, the National Gallery of Canada and the St-Lawrence Seaway Corporation.
