Experience Design Audit

An expert review of your user interface, designed to highlight usability issues and areas for improvement.

An audit is especially useful at the outset of planning a new strategy for your product or service. The user experience is evaluated from a fresh perspective and rated on how well it adheres to best practices and user interface principles. It can help you to understand the problems to focus on, provide direction on how to tackle them, and unlock hidden opportunities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The audit begins with a session to understand your business goals, the users and intended outcomes. Our experts then conduct a detailed analysis of the interface to identify the strengths and weaknesses. The specific areas we review depends on the project goals. However, the themes are based on a set of industry standard heuristics, such as consistency and standards, error prevention, and user control and freedom. The findings are rated by severity level to prioritize the work that needs to be done. The review will also include recommendations for fixing the usability problems and examples of best practice where appropriate.
