Web Usability and Interface Design Services

Are you trying to make your Web/Intranet site easier to use, or trying to increase traffic to your web site? There are a number of effective ways to pinpoint usability problems on your web site, web application or intranet. Although a formal usability lab test is the most well known (and expensive) method, a Web Usability Expert Review is an extremely cost effective method to resolve usability problems at any stage in the development of a website or web application.

Web Usability Expert Reviews

A Web Expert Review, performed by one of our usability specialists, can help cut through internal politics surrounding your company's web site or intranet.

Our specialists will:

• systematically evaluate your current web application or web site based on usability engineering principles and industry research.
• spot confusing elements in your current interface design.
• provide a detailed report identifying your site's current strengths and weaknesses
• provide a prioritized ranking of those web structure issues so that immediate improvements can be made.

Competitor Analysis

Just as important as your own web site design, is knowing what your competitor is doing right, and wrong with their web site. Your competitor's site may be feature rich, but it still could be frustrating the target market your trying to win. Rather than copying those features, commission a Usability Expert Review and gain competitive insight as to what not to do when you redesign your web site.

Interface Design

Many of our clients, after commissioning an Expert Review, find that our web expertise and knowledge of the user centered design (UCD) methodology is exactly what they want when they start a new web project. Our expertise in web design and coding for web accessibility means that their web sites are reaching a much broader demographic.
