Our Clients
What is User Experience?
USER The central premise of user centered design is that the best designed products and services result from understanding the needs of the people who will use them. —Design Council
“UX design is a commitment to building products with the customer in mind”
-Marieke McCloskey Director of Research at UserTesting
“UX design is the art and science of generating positive emotions through product interactions”
-Tomer Sharon Senior UX Researcher at Google
“the design of anything independent of medium or across [device] with human experience as an explicit outcome and human engagement as an explicit goal”
-Jesse James Garrett Founder of Adaptive Path and a UXD
“It is so much more than just designing for a screen. The user experience is impacted by decisions made across an organization from the boardroom to the way a developer codes for performance.”
-Paul Boag UX Consultant of Boagworks

BEHAVIORS NEEDS GOALS
UX IS NOT…
USER EXPERIENCE IS NOT…• Focus groups and aspirations • A task or a phase • Expert Design • Usability
UX IS…• Research based • Analytical and probing • A process • Cross-departmental

Principles In Practice
TALK AMONGST YOURSELVESWhat are common experience issues you face?
5 PRINCIPLES OF UXLearnability Efficiency Memorability Error Management Satisfaction
LEARNABILITYEase for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design.
Usability over time. Improvement of task performance after repeated trials.
How many features do you have? It’s the difference between a basic and advanced search
Are you targeting the right users? Novices vs experts. Young vs. Old?
LEARNABILITY
WEDDING PLANNING
EFFICIENCYOnce users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?
Depth of interactions and organizational structure Simple structure for navigation and tasks. Easy in and easy out.
Appropriate and timely feedback and labelling Direct users and show them their interactions are being accepted. Reduce hesitation and confusion.
Appropriate affordance for the context Known interaction templates.
EFFICIENCY: CONTEXT
MEMORABILITYWhen users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?
Do you remember the shortcuts? - If the site is complex, will users remember core functionality over peripheral?
- Do users remember task pathways?
Recall vs recognition - Don’t make me think.
- Structure for introducing new patterns as a site evolves
Pattern consistency
ERROR MANAGEMENT How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?
Prevention is better than remediation -Find and correct areas with errors
-Clear and descriptive error messages
Opportunities abound - Turn empty sets and dead ends into opportunities to avoid errors
SATISFACTIONHow do you keep users coming back?
What is a meaningful experience for the users? How can you find out?

Measuring & Improving
THE ONGOING UX PROCESS• Design for Beta • Track the metrics and changes over time
• Why do things change? • Continue to research and test
• Have assumptions? Get the facts • Use UX tools to identify opportunities, not
just pain
