architecture :

Todays web properties will have a service architecture.  Millions of tiny devices may want to connect to your service from any one of thousands of operating systems.  The fast track on developing service oriented architectures is Java, XML, and web services.

web strategy:

Architecture is about strong bones, while design is about visual beauty.  We build strong boned information architectures and embellish them with design.  Its the brains before beauty approach.  We use J2EE for a solid foundation.   Bones matter in a service world, though beauty will be important, it must be device agnostic.
