Communications and website UX strategy under one roof

Don’t just make a website. Make a website that works in the context of your entire marketing mix.

Communications Strategy

Who are you? What do you do? What makes you different? And, who should be paying attention? We help organizations own justifiable spaces in their competitive landscape and in the minds of their most important audiences, all through industry research, analysis, strategic thinking and stakeholder engagement. Our communications strategy offerings include:

Organizational/brand positioning
Messaging strategy
Competitive analysis
SWOT analysis
Stakeholder and audience interviews
Persona development

Content + UX Strategy

Building a site starts with discovery. We work to understand a website in terms of an organization’s communication objectives, audience needs, comparative experiences, technical requirements, and more. Our UX Strategy exercises arrive at this understanding through:

Stakeholder interviews
Audience research
Content audits
Google Analytics insight derivation
Competitive analysis
Journey mapping
Personas and scenario-based user stories
Information architecture + site mapping
Usability testing

Analytics

Make informed, data-driven decisions about your website. We help our clients see the story in their data by configuring, curating, and maintaining their analytics configurations. Some of our offerings include:

Auditing Google Analytics + Tag Manager configurations
Data quality improvements
Real-time data visualization dashboards
Data analysis + recommendations
Technical remediation

We provided a content strategy for The Space Foundation that increases traffic and donations.

Uncompromisingly user-centered design

We start with what your audiences want and from there, fold in your business objectives.

Our Process

We take strategic insights from discovery into our design work. These insights then drive the creation of every aspect of a new site, ensuring that we’re paying off business objectives while making something users want. Depending on the project, our design process might include:

Moodboarding
Collaborative sketching
Wireframing
Visual and UI design
Interaction design
Responsive HTML Prototyping

We modernized design and decreased site maintenance time for Greenbiz.com

Let’s develop advanced, versatile sites ready for growth

A dynamic, change-friendly site means lower overall costs.

What We Make

We build sound, sustainable websites that flex as your organization’s needs change. You’ll be able to scale your site and integrate new technologies because we use leading edge tools and open source platforms.

Our Process

We work iteratively and transparently, using an agile project management philosophy. We invite clients to collaborate with us throughout a project; the result is cross-disciplinary magic. Your strong point of view on what success means will shape our project throughout feedback rounds.

Drupal

Members at Kalamuna have been working with Drupal since its early days, and we’ve vastly extended the core project. We also foster the community by sponsoring and organizing conventions, camps, summits, user groups and more.

Easy-to-Use, Open Source Site Theme

Drupal’s presentation layer is defined in a “theme.” While most developers use others’ themes, we created our own: Kalatheme. It makes all our sites ready for mobile and tablet devices, and it empowers our clients with easy-to-use tools. We’re proud to have contributed an open source theme that developers around the world use for free.

Kalabox: A Simple Workflow for Development

We created an original interface to enable people of all skill levels to use advanced development tools. Kalabox brings together everything developers need to code, test, and go live with ease. Even more, it seamlessly integrates with Pantheon Systems and is slated to work with even more hosting providers.

Asif Habibullah

“We hired Kalamuna to provide support services for our Drupal site. Their knowledgeable team is quick, communicative, flexible, and always a pleasure to work with!”

Brie Mazurek
Online Education Manager, CUESA

“The agent assigned to Kettering University has become an integral member of the Kettering web team. He is in constant contact with the web strategist and all our support issues are responded to within 4 business hours of submission - including weekends! In addition, he has been able to mentor the web team on best practices in the drupal environment and provide training as needed for web functionality not directly related to development.”

Donna Wicks
Web Strategist, Kettering University

“Kalamuna's support program is great. Very easy to use and quick. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a response back any later than 15 minutes, and never had a resolution any later than 3-4 hours. I don’t think these guys sleep -- not very healthy for them I’m sure, but it’s been great for us!”

Montego Parker
Director of Information Technology, ICRW

“We work with Kalamuna to maintain and make changes to our website. Critical tickets are resolved quickly, even if early morning or on the weekend. They are very professional and their services are most appreciated.”
