Information Architecture
Information Architecture is the relationship between the content and the navigation of a user interface.
User Solutions analyse a customer’s goals to develop sitemaps and page layouts that allow them to navigate through the site or application with ease.
Interaction Design
Interaction Design during the planning of a user interface ensures that it will be easy to use and match peoples’ expectations.
To do this, User Solutions apply a user focused design method to create prototypes to be tested with your customers.
Usability Evaluation
Usability Evaluation is a test of a web site or web application’s usefulness.
By combining usability testing, expert evaluation and heuristics, User Solutions refine the design to maximise ease of use and profitability.
