User Experience Analysis

If you are responsible for a public website, an intranet site, an application, or another digital product, it is essential to know how your customers would like to use it.

Through observation, directed questioning, and the think aloud protocol, usability testing provides quantitative and qualitative data that can be used to significantly improve the user experience. We recommend formative usability testing at the early design stage, and summative (validation) testing prior to product release.

Even before design work begins, we recommend gathering user input via facilitated discussions and surveys.

In addition to testing interfaces, we design them, drawing on all our experience with end users and user experience design standards. See more in our Website & Application Development section. Call us at 612-339-7970, or to learn more about how you can benefit from user experience analysis.
