Usability
Technology permeates our daily lives; from education to employment; from recreation to commerce. We rely increasingly on technology to communicate, find information and interact with society. Yet all too often, rather than simplifying a task, technology complicates it.
We have experience working with websites, web applications and software from point-of-sale systems to accounting packages; online shops to television scheduling applications.
Ensuring your website or software is easy-to-use will:
- help you to reach your target audience
- increase your customer base
- create a better perception of your company & your products or services
- result in easier user acceptance
- increase productivity
- reduce mistakes and the time spent correcting them
- shorten the training time & reduce support costs
- result in a more efficient development cycle.
We've all experienced the frustration of a bad user interface - whether it be a remote control, a software application, a washing machine or a website. Experiences like this make us turn to a competitor, resulting in financial losses for the company providing the product or service. How many times have you heard someone say they always buy a particular brand of mobile phone because 'it's easy to use'? How long will you spend scanning a web page for information before trying a different one? The average is four seconds.
Focussing on usability can directly increase influence to success of your business.
Many companies simply do not have the time, resources or expertise to spend on usability. We can provide competitively-priced:
- requirements gathering & business analysis
- user interface design
- usability and accessibility evaluations
- prototyping and mock-ups.
