Usability & Interface Design

User adoption is a critical indicator of how successful a product will be in the market. For that reason, the product’s interface is as important a part of the development process as the technology that makes the product function.

Slade Systems features an interaction team of experts who are industry-recognized leaders in usability and interface design. We provide user research, graphical user interface (GUI) design, usability design and usability testing to ensure a product is easy to use and effective in helping users accomplish their goals in using the product. Our experience includes the design of interfaces for web applications, desktop software, PDAs and cell phones. We have also written to many GUI standards and guidelines for software applications and web applications.

Our standard usability and interface design services include:

Task Flows – to gain insight into the goals that should be achieved by the end user and the steps involved in reaching those goals.
Wireframe Diagrams – to show the structure and navigation in an interface before the details have been worked out.
User Object Modeling and Functional Analysis – to map out the relationships between the objects, determine the structure of the UI and support the creation of use cases.
User Interface Design Concepts – useful communication devices that can bring product specifications to life for potential customers, investors, and other stakeholders and help maintain focus within the development team throughout product development.
Our interaction and software development teams work closely to ensure that the best possible interface is built for the product – right from the start. Our integrated team allows for an efficient feedback loop, ensuring the most optimal decisions are made regarding product design, usability, functionality and technology.
