Website Design and Usability

We offer usability testing, evaluation and reporting to ensure your business applications not only function as intended, but also look professional and are easy and intuitive to use.

What is Usability

The principals of website and application usability are relevant to almost any product. Some ways to improve usability include:

       . Shortening the length of time it takes to accomplish tasks
       . Reducing the number of errors made
       . Reducing the learning time
       . Improving people's satisfaction with the system

Developing with Usability in Mind

We develop all our websites, intranets and applications with usability in mind. One way to facilitate good usability is the formation of a small focus group to ensure the application fulfils the needs and expectations of the intended user base, as well as being fast and easy to use.

When we carry out usability studies we focus on some of the core areas of usability which include:

       . Clear easy to use navigation
       . Accessibility
       . Platform compatibility
       . Browser compatibility
       . Download speeds
       . Presence of a search facility
       . Presence of a sitemap
       . Easy to use online help and prompts

Is My Website User Friendly?

Is your website well maintained and up-to-date? What do your target audience think about your online activities? Have you surveyed the users of the site or do you even know who they are??
