Sturgeon Point Productions provides website access with each academic video that it avails to its students and interns, usually at no additional cost.

Moreover, the organization has an advanced web production system and team, which works behind the scenes to develop interactive multimedia contents for all the current and future needs.

As a listening organization, Sturgeon seeks feedback from all stakeholders, such as customers, interns, and employees about the nature and quality of its websites. We are, for instance, looking forward to receiving feedback on the features that people would like to see for future developments. We are also eager to know about which of our current subjects would be helpful for interns and customers to have within their interactive web content.

Examples of interactive web features that we provide include:

· Historic interactive timelines

· Photos taken on the set during the production of the film

· Interactive educational games

· Fast facts and flashcards

· Quizzes and exams.

We believe in putting the customers’ interests in focus by gathering information about them, assessing the information and placing them in use for the improvement of the organization and customers. This practice is entrenched in virtually all our departments, and come in different strategies and models, such as provision of quality products and services, and optimizing customer experience. In this respect, we use different customer experience measurements and assessment models to determine the extent to which users are satisfied with the web services that we provide. Examples include customer satisfaction measurement programs, customer feedback systems, as well as the voice of customer process. These processes provide us with a formal mechanism and tool for acquiring ideas to facilitate the improvement and innovation from customers and assessing and utilizing customer-driven input to the organizational learning process. In the long run, these efforts can go a long way in determining the extent to which customer value is being created and maintained in the short- and long-terms.

Apart from the above interactive web features, the organization ensures that the websites are designed in a manner that is appealing to the target audience who use them. We hold the view that websites are some of the most revolutionary technologies that transform the business environment. They exert a dramatic impact on the electronic commerce and educational affairs. As the fastest growing facet of the internet and other information technologies, the web provides speed, convenience, and often, cost-efficient services for the existing and future users. However, many websites are still too hard to use, thus falling short of user expectations. Approximately a third of the time, many users often fail to purchase products from an e-commerce website because they are lost in the hyperspace. This issue may be partly attributed to the engineering issues such as poor designs of websites. Therefore, we provide interactive web platforms, which meet different criteria, such as usability, pleasure, service quality, excitement, and good overall judgment.

In academic use of platforms, the website is the firm’s interface with the customer. Therefore, its usability is critical to the success of an organization. The web acts as the primary infrastructure for customer service, and provides some benefits, such as enhancing the corporation’s image and improving communications with other companies. This also helps to improve the efficiency of business processes and cutting costs. Additionally, customer interface with sellers in the cyberspace is enhanced through the seller’s website. Thus, a well-designed web site can significantly influence the user’s readiness to stay engaged within a site, revisit it, and make purchase decisions on the net. A poorly designed website can result in lost revenue and negative effects on an organization’s image. To avert this fate from befalling us, the company is going to take into consideration many design features and characteristics to inform its services. We also believe that users often expect more than 80 percent o the simpler web design elements to behave in a certain way. In this respect, many design elements are often common enough that users often expect them to work in a certain way. The users, for example, strongly expect standard elements to work in a prescribed and simple manner whenever they visit such sites because that is how things often operate. We also believe that a good website should be easy to navigate across the entire platform. This means that it should not over rely on the “back” button but rather have other elements for easily moving across the whole page. Furthermore, the texts, graphics, and images that we use to embed into the websites are often arranged in a manner and fashion that is appealing to the target audiences.
