USER EXPERIENCE.PROCESS AND METHODS FOR SUCCESS

- State-of-the-art interface design, development and functionality- Site integration into a client’s overall marketing strategy and brand personality

Mobile First :: Every decision throughout the design and development process is made at all three device levels — mobile, tablet and desktop — simultaneously before it is considered a viable option. With intense focus on mobile first, this is the most viable and successful creative method to ensure the viewer experience is perfect, consistent and fluid on every device for every platform.

UX, UI & IXD

We are fluent in UX, UI & IXD. All three of these processes are undertaken collectively. However, they are approached differently, both aesthetically and technically, for the front-end than they are on the back-end. These three important processes could be described as follows:

- When we refer to the UX. We are talking about the User Experience. It might seem like UI and UX should be the same. It’s all aboutthe experience right? Data shows they should be abstracted and handled separately.

- The UI refers to the User Interface. When we talk about the UI, we should be referring to the branding, style or layout.

- Finally, IXD. Interaction Design is the term we use for the whole process of coming up with the ideas, concepts and execution of those ideas. This is how we approach web and app design and all 3 of these processes focus on meeting the objectives of the website.

As designers, we must understand the visual objective and emotional characteristics of the brand before the creative process begins. As developers, we must have a clear answer to the primary question. “What are the fundamental objectives of the project?” To answer that question we first ask ourselves “ What purpose must the site fulfill for the user?“ This is a difficult question for a client to answer. Invariably, their response involves things like “brand awareness” and “increase traffic”. We digest that input but distill further, emphasizing the fact that those fundamental objectives referred to above are found in the user experience. Everything in this day and age revolves around the customer experience. Clients will not engage with Client to expand brand reputation or increase traffic. They expect the company and site to perform a function and fulfill a valuable purpose with the least possible resistance. Naturally, it is challenging for most clients to wear the “user” hat. That’s because they are rarely their own target audience. Which brings us back to why qualitative research is so critical to the process. Once we have clarity on what these “fundamental objectives” are, we can begin to strategize what platforms we must utilize to provide optimal delivery of those objectives. It is only then we determine what platform(s) are going to best meet those objectives.


A successful website is about marketing, generating revenue, and maximizing brand equity. The medium has evolved. UX, UI and IXD are all fundamental components of our process and are comprehensively integrated in both front-end and back-end design and development processes we employ. At various stages of design and development, user-testing can be employed to help inform and refine both the navigational and visual experience of a web environment. Moderated testing (in-person or remote) as well as interactive prototypes are valuable tools Our focus has always been two-fold:

• With the objectives and platforms now clearly defined, we then undergo a strategic user-flow development process to flush-out whatspecific user interactions will be necessary and how they interact with one another. We process and identify every possible path a usermight take and what interactions must occur on each screen to meet those objectives. Our first deliverable is a user-flow map.

• Next, we level up to wireframes. At this point, we are still not concerned about brand or style yet, but are focused on making detaileddecisions about the content flow, layout and user interactions. We are making strategic, informed determinations about content, media,social sharing, calls to action, usability, etc... Every single action and reaction initiated or performed by the user will be decided here. Belowis an example of a wireframe.

• We define Interaction Design as “the study or practice of building interactive digital products, environments, systems, or services to communicate the brand story to the end user.” Sometimes referred to as goal-oriented design is concerned most significantly with satisfying the needs and desires of the people who will interact with a product or service.”

• Typically, interaction design is created through solving individual problems from the standpoint of a business or other interested party. However, our approach is to incorporate prototyping, testing and persona development (when our client is in agreement) in order to achieve best practices. We believe user-testing would be very beneficial to the website design and development process and would work to set up some user-experience sessions with individuals from their audience segment groups —strategic partners (sponsors), home improvement contractors, and homeowners (end consumer) The images on the following (3) pages are powerful examples of how a prototype becomes a final result through user interaction and testing.

One may picture, too, the sudden shifting of the attention, the swiftly spreading coils and bellyings of that black-ness advancing headlong, towering heavenward, turning the twilight to a palpable darkness, a strange and horri-ble antagonist of vapour striding upon its victims, men and horses near it seen dimly, running, shrieking, falling headlong, shouts of dismay, the guns suddenly abandoned, men choking and writhing on the ground, and the swift broadening-out of the opaque cone of smoke. And then night and extinction--nothing but a silent mass of impenetrable vapour hiding its dead.Before dawn the black vapour was pouring through the streets of Richmond, and the disintegrating organism of government was, with a last expiring effort, rousing the population of London to the necessity of flight

One may picture, too, the sudden shifting of the attention, the swiftly spreading coils and bellyings of that blackness advancing headlong, towering heaven-ward, turning the twilight to a palpable darkness, a strange and horrible antago-nist of vapour striding upon its victims, men and horses near it seen dimly, run-ning, shrieking, falling headlong, shouts of dismay, the guns suddenly aban-doned, men choking and writhing on the ground, and the swift broadening-out of the opaque cone of smoke. And then night and extinction--nothing but a silent mass of impenetrable vapour hiding its dead.Before dawn the black vapour was pouring through the streets of Richmond, and the disintegrating organism of government was, with a last expiring effort, rousing the population of London to the necessity of flight

So you understand the roaring wave of fear that swept through the greatest city in the world just as Monday was dawning--the stream of flight rising swiftly to a torrent, lashing in a foaming tumult round the railway stations, banked up into a horrible struggle about the shipping in the Thames, and hurrying by every available channel northward and eastward. By ten o'clock the police organisation, and by midday even the railway organisations, were losing coherency, losing shape and efficiency, guttering, softening, running at last in that swift liquefaction of the social body.All the railway lines north of the Thames and the South-Eastern people at Cannon Street had been warned by midnight on Sunday, and trains were being filled. People were fighting savagely for standing-room in the carriag-es even at two o'clock. By three, people were being trampled and crushed even in Bishopsgate Street, a couple of hundred yards or more from Liverpool Street station; revolvers were fired, people stabbed, and the policemen who had been sent to direct the traffic, exhausted and infuriated, were breaking the heads of the people they were called out to protect.And as the day advanced and the engine drivers and stokers refused to return to London, the pressure of the flight drove the people in an ever-thickening multitude away from the stations and along the northward-running roads. By midday a Martian had been seen at Barnes, and a cloud of slowly sinking black vapour drove along the Thames and across the flats of Lambeth, cutting off all escape over the bridges in its sluggish advance. Another bank drove over Ealing, and surrounded a little island of survivors on Castle Hill, alive, but unable to escape.So he got out of the fury of the panic, and, skirting the Edgware Road, reached Edgware about seven, fasting and wearied, but well ahead of the crowd. Along the road people were standing in the roadway, curious, wonder-ing. He was passed by a number of cyclists, some horsemen, and two motor cars. A mile from Edgware the rim of the wheel broke, and the machine became unridable. He left it by the roadside and trudged through the vil-lage. There were shops half opened in the main street of the place, and people crowded on the pavement and in the doorways and windows, staring astonished at this extraordinary procession of fugitives that was beginning. He succeeded in getting some food at an inn.For a time he remained in Edgware not knowing what next to do. The flying people increased in number. Many of them, like my brother, seemed inclined to loiter in the place. There was no fresh news of the invaders from Mars.At that time the road was crowded, but as yet far from congested. Most of the fugitives at that hour were mount-ed on cycles, but there were soon motor cars, hansom cabs, and carriages hurrying along, and the dust hung in heavy clouds along the road to St. Albans.It was perhaps a vague idea of making his way to Chelmsford, where some friends of his lived, that at last induced my brother to strike into a quiet lane running eastward. Presently he came upon a stile, and, crossing it, followed a footpath northeastward. He passed near several farmhouses and some little places whose names he did not learn. He saw few fugitives until, in a grass lane towards High Barnet, he happened upon two ladies who became his fellow travellers. He came upon them just in time to save them.

"Quite enough," said the woman over the gate. "Thenks"; and all three of them laughed.I felt foolish and angry. I tried and found I could not tell them what I had seen. They laughed again at my broken sentences."You'll hear more yet," I said, and went on to my home.I startled my wife at the doorway, so haggard was I. I went into the dining room, sat down, drank some wine, and so soon as I could collect myself sufficiently I told her the things I had seen. The dinner, which was a cold one, had already been served, and remained neglected on the table while I told my story.

So soon as the cab had passed, he flung himself, with both hands open, upon the heap of coins, and began thrusting handfuls in his pocket. A horse rose close upon him, and in another moment, half rising, he had been borne down under the horse's hoofs.

So soon as the cab had passed, he flung himself, with both hands open, upon the heap of coins, and began thrusting handfuls in his pocket. A horse rose close upon him, and in another moment, half rising, he had been borne down under the horse's hoofs.

So you understand the roaring wave of fear that swept through the greatest city in the world just as Monday was dawning--the stream of flight rising swiftly to a torrent, lashing in a foaming tumult round the railway stations, banked up into a horrible struggle about the shipping in the Thames, and hurrying by every available channel northward and eastward. By ten o'clock the police organisation, and by midday even the railway organisations, were losing coher-ency, losing shape and efficiency, guttering, softening, running at last in that swift liquefaction of the social body.All the railway lines north of the Thames and the South-Eastern people at Cannon Street had been warned by midnight on Sunday, and trains were being filled. People were fighting savagely for standing-room in the carriages even at two o'clock. By three, people were being trampled and crushed even in Bish-opsgate Street, a couple of hundred yards or more from Liverpool Street sta-tion; revolvers were fired, people stabbed, and the policemen who had been sent to direct the traffic, exhausted and infuriated, were breaking the heads of the people they were called out to protect.And as the day advanced and the engine drivers and stokers refused to return to London, the pressure of the flight drove the people in an ever-thickening multitude away from the stations and along the northward-running roads. By midday a Martian had been seen at Barnes, and a cloud of slowly sinking black vapour drove along the Thames and across the flats of Lambeth, cutting off all escape over the bridges in its sluggish advance. Another bank drove over Ealing, and surrounded a little island of survivors on Castle Hill, alive, but unable to escape.So he got out of the fury of the panic, and, skirting the Edgware Road, reached Edgware about seven, fasting and wearied, but well ahead of the crowd. Along the road people were standing in the roadway, curious, wondering. He was passed by a number of cyclists, some horsemen, and two motor cars. A mile from Edgware the rim of the wheel broke, and the machine became unridable. He left it by the roadside and trudged through the village. There were shops half opened in the main street of the place, and people crowded on the pave-ment and in the doorways and windows, staring astonished at this extraordi-nary procession of fugitives that was beginning. He succeeded in getting some food at an inn.For a time he remained in Edgware not knowing what next to do. The flying people increased in number. Many of them, like my brother, seemed inclined to loiter in the place. There was no fresh news of the invaders from Mars.At that time the road was crowded, but as yet far from congested. Most of the fugitives at that hour were mounted on cycles, but there were soon motor cars, hansom cabs, and carriages hurrying along, and the dust hung in heavy clouds along the road to St. Albans.It was perhaps a vague idea of making his way to Chelmsford, where some friends of his lived, that at last induced my brother to strike into a quiet lane running eastward. Presently he came upon a stile, and, crossing it, followed a footpath northeastward. He passed near several farmhouses and some little places whose names he did not learn. He saw few fugitives until, in a grass lane towards High Barnet, he happened upon two ladies who became his fellow travellers. He came upon them just in time to save them.
