What We Do . . .

Float Solutions is a small studio committed to creating usable, accessible websites and applications. We merge content and design into a uniform development process combining visual elegance with technical sustainability. We don't just make websites friendly, we make them float.

Floating

Websites that float rise above the constant problems common to Internet content. A Float Solution will remain buoyant – accessible, striking, and compatible – well into the future of the web. Our seamless integration of content and design invites visitors to lose themselves in your Float website for hours, clicking on and on without ever thinking about clicking away.

Usablity

The future of the Internet is one in which any human being or form of technology will be able to easily access and navigate your website. Float Solutions specializes in user interaction consultancy and accessibility, which means that web travelers will feel welcomed and comfortable at your easy-to-find, simple-to-use online destination.

Standards

At Float Solutions, we believe in web standards. This means that all of our creations are extremely search-engine friendly. It also means that your websites and applications will be designed to evolve easily and gracefully along with the Internet. We use web standards to develop sites that understand you, so that you don't have to understand them.

Content

Many web design companies outsource content to copy-hacks who are given little idea as to the ultimate vision you have for your project. However, top-notch websites require high quality content in order to be visible and accessible. Float Solutions offers the unique service of a content & design team that work together to create a coherent, arresting online experience.

Portfolio . . .

Sales Operation Services CMS

Sales Operations Services is a role-based contact management system created for internal sales use within the mortgage industry. The mortgage industry is a constantly changing industry with incredible amounts of industry-specific data that needs to be tracked, worked on collaboratively, and stored securely. Here are just some of the features this system includes:


  • Role Based User System
  • Activity Tracking System
  • AJAX User Interaction
  • Dynamic Business Information Models
  • Intelligent Search
  • Full-Featured Email Client
  • Dynamic User Interaction Page
  • Dynamic Import / Export Functions


SOS allows you to manage a diverse sales team with members in many different countries while still keeping the feeling of working together in an office. Sales Operations Services was a massive project involving over 8 months of full time development.

Technology




SOS uses an xHTML/CSS interface with JavaScript animations and AJAX interactions to enhance the responsiveness and usability of the application. We aimed to create a dynamic online work environment that allows you to feel like you are working with your sales team in the same building.


Usability




We have kept the user interface simple and friendly. When you first sign in, you are welcomed with a page that will detail your day of work. A full manual as well as guided documentation was developed to allow users of any technical ability to learn how to use the system.


Adaptability




The real estate industry is an industry that has to deal with a lot of data. Not only that, but they must also deal with constantly changing data formats and functions. We developed SOS to allow the creation of industry-specific business models and to allow dynamic reporting based on that information. Furthermore, SOS allows you to easily collect data from potential customers by creating custom landing pages that can be deployed anywhere on the internet, use your own “Thank You” page, and still have data seamlessly entered into the CMS.


Security


Personal data privacy is a major international issue, and with the amount of personal financial data our system has to track, security was at the forefront of everything we developed for Sales Operation Services. SOS is protected from SQL injection attacks to prevent one user from stealing another user’s data. All AJAX code has been fully secured as well.
