Website and Technology usability
Consumer Surprises
A consumer behavior evaluation can tell you how your customers are
really interacting with your website. Web usability studies of users frequently reveal that when given specific tasks to
perform on a website, they often will rarely succeed in reaching the correct solution, or
they will end up close to the solution without knowing it.
Whether you are selling to consumers or businesses, or your products involve
technology, "close" is not good enough when you are trying to please
your customers.
Technology behavior assessment has been used to study both
workflow
and interactions of people with technology. This is performed by
utilizing user systems analysis, evaluation of behavioral interaction of
users and technology when performing a function, and making
recommendations regarding how this work can be improved. We also
assess competitor programs
and software for usability from a
non-technical perspective, as well as work flow process methods.
Information Architecture
involves providing consumers with a website that meets their needs.
Online consumers come to websites to get information quickly and easily.
Because users have different levels of skills and needs, designing a site
that addresses both levels of skills as well as understanding how users
search for information can make their visit to your website either enjoyable
and memorable in a positive way, or in a manner where they will not return.
Reduce
user confusion! Are your users confused when they use your product? Are
your systems applications programs current with the way people
use technology?
In the information age, more
people are using technology. As late adopters, they may be
motivated to use technology for reasons that differ from early
adopters, and may not be as comfortable in it's usage. Having
a usability audit before your products go to market or production
can help reduce negative attitudes toward use.
