We've helped our clients get to the root

of their users and their expectations,

while at the same time helping to

preserve their metrics and goals for

measuring success. We test and re-

calibrate to drive higher quality results.

RESULTS & OUTCOMES

7

We pride ourselves on being good

listeners, and on being able to re-

tell your story and do it justice. We

love collaborating and doing great

work with exceptional human

beings. We love projects that

impact people and brands in

positive ways. We come in to work

to help you win.

Our developers weigh-in on

technical aspects of a design. We

collaborate which helps in

respecting budgets and setting the

expectation that nothing

impossible isn't going to come

across their desk. Even still, our

developers find creative uses

of .NET, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery,

PHP, MySQL, and Java.

Creative is more than just how

something looks. It's about how a

user experiences your brand. That

all starts with understanding how

users interact with different

touchpoints along the way, giving

them an experience that drives

engagement.

CASE STUDY | JABIL BLUE SKY CENTER

One of our current programs is with Jabil Circuits, based in Florida. We are their Agency of Record for all  sales related content, pitches, websites, blogs, campaigns, and advertisements.  

We very recently completed a new responsive website to promote their brand new state-of-the-art innovation center in San Jose, CA. This website will launch any day now (the center just opened).

You will see full screen imagery and visuals that were hand-selected for their impact and alignment to the messaging. All the writing throughout the site was crafted to have a specific tone and attitude to match the innovative and leading-edge concept of the center. The user experience includes several different animations and engagements to capture the visitors imagination and stimulate their excitement to visit the center and explore the future possibilities.

CASE STUDY | ARCSERVE

We launched a new website for CA Techologies approximately 6 months ago, called arcserve. Since then, arcserve has become a standalone company and has made modifications to their site. Therefore, the link below is for the prototype we delivered to arcserve, which is fully responsive across multiple devices.

Their challenge was being in the business for 40 years, they were a well respected and trusted technology, but at the same time, with the advent of new technologies like cloud and virtualized storage, they were competing in a new age. Thus while being trusted/respected, they also wanted to be viewed as fresh/new/nimble/agile to compete with the upstarts. The result was a pop-driven design that was very visual, very graphic, but empowered by content that maintained their established, credible history.

Arcserve had multiple target audiences, and thus the Show Me Content in the navigation allows the visitor to quickly determine their own germaine experience and content. If I am a busy Executive, my overall experience is simpler and cleaner for quick information gathering. But if I am an IT Professional, my experience provides much more detail and drill down on product information. Over 150 images, graphics and icons were carefully design or selected to convey complex products and concepts very easily. Lastly, call to action was very important to arcserve. Thus you will see a persistent footer experience that allows the visitor to immediately progress to their next step of engagement, wherever and whenever they are ready. http://arcserve.com.s32552.gridserver.com/

We launched a new fully responsive website in Q4-2014 for Global Payments Inc. It is a highly visual, parallax site with very interesting UX elements that allow visitors to self-identify and rapidly dive into their relevant interests and content (right mobile image).

The navigation (in mobile or PC) constantly informs the visitor where they are in the site without the use of breadcrumbs, making the experience more elegant.

CASE STUDY | GEORGIA PACIFIC

Digital Yalo raised the bar of modern design, content and SEO by leveraging the poser of Sitecore’s Customer Engagement Platform. 

We created an engaging user experience through a sleek redesign and strong call to actions throughout the site. With Sitecore’s personalization features, we are able to create an inbound marketing strategy that allows users to access the information custom to their journey of learning. A SEO keyword analysis created new opportunities for growth and an increased digital presence for a fresh site.

CASE STUDY | TD AMERITRADE

TD Ameritrade was looking for a simple way to communicate to clients in a new way. Digital Yalo worked to ideate, illustrate and animate multiple promotional videos to communicate complicated topics in the simple way they were looking for to educate and grow their client base. These videos are being used within social media campaigns across channels.
