expertise and experience to determine how best to add value to your enterprise and

User Interface Creation
We enjoy difference, and work on maintaining the distinction between all what we
offer from products and services, and what others offer.
Our Softmills team follows the Waterfall Model which is broken into 4 phases; Planning,
Design, Implementation Testing and Documenting, and Deployment & Maintenance. Each
of these phases are divided into sub phases to ensure quality and efficiency. Our
goal is to produce a software that will enhance your business performance and resolve
any current and future concerns.
Overview
The foundation of a user interface (user interface) is its underlying structure,
workflow and navigation – the information architecture. Much like a three-dimensional
product must be defined and constrained by the configuration of its components;
an effective user interface needs to be organized around a logical, consistent and
intuitive set of tasks.
Information architecture is initially driven by the functional
requirements of the software system. We then map workflows to these functions to
create a logical sequence of steps that will best support users’ tasks and needs.
Schematic interface screen layouts, or wireframes, are created as preliminary guides
to layout and screen structure and serve as the basis for the subsequent graphical
screen designs.
We will customize the design process to fit your needs, but there are generally
three phases: Discovery, Design and Delivery.
Our Interaction Design design process
In the world today, any company needs to be represented both technically and artisitcally.
Softmills have assemebled a qualified team to provide you with a functional, aesthetic
design that would professionaly represent your company with both these elements.
The team also ensures that search engine optimization (SEO) and major browser compatiblity
won't be sacrificed in the process.
We offer caters to clients from all different industries. When creating quality
logo designs, a great support staff is available to help realize your company’s
mission and make your design process a memorable one.
The strategies behind designing a successful and memorable logo involves a process
which progresses through various stages of listening, research, development, feedback
and changes.
we provide custom logo design. We guarantee that you receive a one-of-a-kind design.
All work is created from scratch and no clip art is used, assuring that your logo
will stand out from the crowd, giving your company a unique and legitimate look.
Step 1: Defining the problem and understanding the goal
Getting the right amount of details and having a clear understanding of a client’s
problems and goals from the beginning is the most important factor when starting
a new logo design.
2: More Research
After receiving the Logo Handout and initiating phone conversation to get additional
details the handout did not provide, we begin researching your Company and competitors
to get a better feel for their market – this helps in the overall look and message
the final logo conveys.
Step 3: Mind mapping
Our designs, whether it’s logos or websites, always start off on mind maping. This
allows me to get my brain moving in the right direction and get down as many ideas
as possible. Jumping directly onto the computer can slow the creative process –
it takes more time to execute ideas and one can tend to pay more attention to minuet
details early on. Mind mapping also helps in exploring and growing your topic. You
can easily expand upon ideas and keywords.
Step 5: Digital implementation
We use different tools to digitialize our ideas that typically includes Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe Photoshop and Flash for creating logos. Lines and shapes in Illustrator use
vectors that are easily scalable and retain consistent clarity.
Step 6: Client feedback
Working closely with our clients is not only essential to achieve business objectives,
but without a doubt helps in the process of creating a logo that represents them
and their company.
Step 7: More digital implementation
After some client feedback we tend to head back to the computer and make changes
or provide additional samples. This gives me the chance to take in more ideas from
the client and understand their vision more clearly after the initial feedback.
Step 8: Color and typefaces
After I’m at least 80% satisfied with the logos we have so designed, we play around
with color combination and font variation.
We typically provide our clients with at least 3 different logo samples, each having
color variations and typefaces that work well with the mark and company’s message.
Step 10: Final revisions
After the client comes to an agreement of the best overall solution for their logo,
we will go in and make any additional minor changes that we feel are neccessary,
if need be.
At this stage we will also mock-up what their new logo will look like on their existing
website or stationery. This helps your clients see how the logo works as a collective,
not just a stand alone object.
Step 11: Delivering the files
Your workforce learns best with company-specific training and development. At Softmills
we focus on the needs of your employees and tailor our approach to the way your

improving management effectiveness and the productivity of your people. The first
thing we do together is conduct an on-site assessment. We find out the strengths

whole.
Then we develop a plan of action to stimulate change that is strategically and proactively
focused on producing measurable results. Working together we’ll facilitate a process
of both individual and organizational development that will identify the barriers
and, most importantly, the enablers to high performance and long-term competitive
advantage.
Our software services cover wide spectrum of civil and military applications . These
services range from program consultancy to design and development of autonomous
control and guidance systems. Furthermore we offer other services from basic research

creativity, evaluating results, always going the extra mile to actualize your long-term

The contracting and procurement processes of the governmental authorities are at
best difficult, cumbersome, and confusing. Winning a contract often proves far easier
than keeping it, so getting the “right” professional advice is critical. Our Team
is vastly familiar with the inner workings of governmental authorities.
