| Customer Needs Analysis |
Before Development Begins |
- Using online surveys and one-on-one interviews, we survey a
representative sample of your customers.
- We assess their goals, attitudes, needs, expectations, values,
and concerns as they relate to doing business with your company
online.
|
Critical for developers and designers to build sites
that meet customer needs and support what customers are trying to
accomplish. |
| Customer Experience Paths |
Inform Early-Stage Design |
- We create “user profiles” --detailed snapshots of
archetypical users representing your key audience segments.
- Then, we map these customers’ “experience paths”
-- the sequence of steps they travel when interacting with your
site.
|
Guides developers and designers in aligning features
and content to reflect how customers will actually use the site. |
| Testing Early-Stage Design |
Validate Early-Stage Designs |
- We evaluate wireframes, paper and html prototypes to determine
how well navigation, process flow, and layout address customer
and business goals.
- Our findings help developers refine the site, typically before
adding design elements and functionality.
|
Making adjustments early on costs far less than fixing
these problems later in development when they can be 10-50 times
more expensive to address. |
| Competitive Analysis |
See How You Compare |
- We recruit a representative sample of your customers to perform
equivalent tasks on your site and competitive sites.
- We determine how their experience influences their preference
for using your site versus a competitor’s.
|
Better organize processes and content. Distinguish
your site from the competition. Capture more business. |
