LSI
Logic Corporation is the worldwide leader in system-on-a-chip
solutions and semi-custom application-specific integrated circuits
(ASICs) for the networking, telecom/wireless, consumer, computer,
storage components, and storage systems markets. LSI engaged
our team to develop a Web graphic standard and a complete redesign
of its corporate Web site to enhance ease of navigation, improve
brand image, increase visitor retention within the content areas
of the site, and enable frequent content refreshment and future
site extension. This look and feel defined the company's online
appearance for nearly three years, a lifetime in the web world.
We
developed a highly flexible and extensible Web site architecture,
a flat navigational structure to enable visitors to get to any topics
of interest within two clicks, and a 3D icon system to represent
functionality and information hierarchies for easy navigation. We
also created a 3D look and feel for the LSI Logic Web
site that significantly improved both visual appeal and performance.
Similar to other Web redesign projects, our engineers wrote a metacrawler
to automate the process of site conversion and maintenance. This
metacrawler enabled LSI Logic to convert the sub-sites for
many geographic and product divisions in several languages with
over 1500 pages in less than one month.
