Does your user interface help sell your product or service? Is it helping
or hindering your brand? Can your customers effectively and efficiently
use your product? Will a user’s experience with your product positively
or negatively affect future buying decisions?
Our design services focus on assembling data and recommending designs that
answer these questions. We provide three levels of iterative, user-centric
design that enable your product to achieve best-in-class status.
Information Architecture Design
A solid information architecture is a fundamental prerequisite for creating interfaces and applications that promote successful task completion and intuitive access to content. Our experts in information science and cognitive psychology can provide your development team with optimal information architecture recommendations for your interface, service, or software application. We design information organization, labeling, and navigation schemes for subsequent coding and implementation by designers and developers. Some of the key deliverables that emerge from this process include wireframes, blueprints, controlled vocabularies, content category structures, and metadata schemes.
Interaction Design
Interaction Design focuses on the interplay between users and products. Good interaction design creates an intuitive experience for customers by implementing designs that best fit the users’ mental models. Interaction Design is meant to guide users through complex tasks smoothly by communicating available functionality while minimizing confusion and reducing error.
Visual Design
We also have expertise in all stages of visual design, from wireframes and mock-ups, to comprehensive screenshots. Our designs, while artistic and visually stunning are grounded in the science of developing end-products that seamlessly integrate with the needs, expectations, and goals of target users. Accordingly, we design interfaces that respect a target user’s mental model and are based on information and content architectures that are intrinsically intuitive and easy to access.
User Interfaces Services
Design consultation: Expert advice from either an information sciences or design consultant to guide early product and interface development.
Design Profiling: This method provides detailed information about current and potential look-and-feels. Using this method, designs can be plotted on a number of key dimensions to determine each design's unique signature. This analysis will help determine which design best communicates the client's intended message.
Information architecture design: IA design is delivered as an abstracted representation of information connectivity and interaction that lays the foundation for the successful design and implementation of a website or software application.
Information Categorization: This research method will inform effective information architecture design and give an understanding of how a given user group categorizes large amounts of information.
User interface design: Information design, interaction design and visual design culminate in an elegant user interface based upon empirical data, established design principles and best practices.
