Research & Consulting

Digital media has become an inherent part of our everyday life. Interfaces are everywhere and they have to be intuitive, user friendly and last but not least – fun.

No matter what development stage your product is in, it all comes down to one key factor: The user.

Your customer as a key factor

Users will decide in seconds what they think of your product. Often you will only be given one chance. Identifying your customers’ needs, implementing them in scenario-based designs that are tested with user experience research methods and combining them with your business goals will make all the difference and will distinguish your product from others.

User Experience (UX) & Usability Research

User- and expert-based methods are an important part of a user centered development and design process.

Expert-based methods

Do you want to find out more about your target audience groups and their needs? Are you in the concept stage of developing a new product and would you like to get an expert opinion on work flows, navigation and information architecture?

User-based methods
