Usability Engineering is a planned & methodical approach to developing any products & websites that works for the users and deliver the results that they are looking for. It’s a practical and systematic way of creating user interfaces and the framework through which a user would interact with the product or the website.
We realize that what matters most are not just great technology solutions, but building great presentation systems that shape the user experience and create positive brand interactions, which ultimately translate to greater value for the client and better-engineered solutions at the back-end.

Interaction: Determine the goals for the solution from the perspective of the user and the business Determine the user profile, user needs, user behaviour & concerns and target usability requirements Determine feature functionality Evaluate existing versions of the product (If any) Perform a competitive analysis Ideation: Sketch out information architecture & navigational flow at an abstract level Create and project an identity that ’ s true to the core brand properties and can be owned by no one else Develop and streamline content Ideating concept & theme Design interface layout keeping the brand orientation and usability aspect in mind. Interactive visual presentation (conceptual prototype) for the client ’ s approval. Repeat this process (production iteration) until the business goals and user needs are met. Implementation: Create templates and perform validation, compatibility, optimization testing. Development of UID - user interface design (Functional prototype). Evaluate performance through testing, quality assurance, usability testing, compatibility & scalability testing Repeat this process (production iteration) until the business goals are met. The final deliverable of this process is relevant functionality, strong branding, user-centric design and consistent look & feel demonstrated through UID.
Mention that these are “real artifacts.”
Represents the information and navigation content of a page. Graphic elements are used such as shading, typography, line, layout – but these are not meant to be taken literally from a graphic design standpoint. These would often be roughed out using pen and paper and then created using a graphics program like Illustrator. Sometimes in HTML, sometimes in Word, sometimes in Visio.
Sometimes roughed out on paper, though if working from schematics perhaps not. Usually created in Photoshop, sometimes would evolve to “dead” or “semi-active” HTML.
