Gotzsys

Websites, hotsites and branding for businesses

Porto Alegre, Brazil, is home to Gotzsys, an IT and web agency. The company reports that it has worked in the technology sector for 16 years. It describes its approach as joining the informality of a coffee break with disciplined code, and it puts care and excellence at the centre of its work. Its stated view is that a business's most valuable asset is its information, and that how a company presents itself to the public matters as much as what it does.

Its web work covers small, medium and large websites, interactive hotsites and one-page sites, built to suit the business in front of it. Alongside the websites, the agency designs logos and complete stationery, on the view that a strong brand should represent the client clearly. Its designs are built to respond to different screen sizes and to a wide range of devices, and it prepares images that stay sharp on large, high-resolution displays. The agency also builds sites to be found: it optimizes them for the main search engines, and it says its support continues after delivery, including campaigns in digital marketing.

Online sales, Moodle and academic management systems

The agency builds online selling systems that are quick, secure and organized, and it says these are suited to businesses of any size. Schools and colleges are a second market. Gotzsys integrates the Moodle learning platform with academic management systems, and it has put in place such systems for small and large educational institutions.

Hosting is part of the same offer. The firm provides website hosting, business email and cloud backups, and it presents these services as secure and scalable, so that a client's sites and data can grow with the business.

From first conversation to a detailed pre-proposal

The working process starts with a conversation in which the client explains their ideas. The agency then presents the tools that could help the client reach the goal, and produces a detailed pre-proposal. Once the client approves that proposal, the agency develops the scope of the project, setting out its assumptions, requirements, schedule and payment table in writing. Development then turns the agreed project into a working product.

After delivery, the client has access to the communication channels for support from Gotzsys, and the agency is available to take part in later digital marketing campaigns.

Interface design that suits the user

Gotzsys says its interfaces are designed for function and beauty, with fluid and well-organized screens. It aims to support the instinctive, natural movements people make when they use its products. Where a client's request seems out of reach, the firm invites a conversation, and says it can produce custom solutions tailored to the business.
