User Experience

CapTech’s User Experience methodology is a quantifiable and repeatable approach that measures and enhances the efficiency of employee- and customer-facing systems.

People make bad assumptions about users when they design a system - what the user will like and not like, what they’ll have difficulty with and what will be easy and intuitive. CapTech’s User Experience team helps design systems right the first time, verifying assumptions and discovering problems not otherwise found. CapTech provides expertise in the four core disciplines of User Experience:

User Research

You can’t predict user behavior. Understanding your users is paramount to designing a system that achieves the needs of the business, while also being easy to use.  The first step in CapTech’s approach to User Experience is an ethnographic study of your users and their needs. 

Information Architecture 

CapTech leverages the tools and insights of Information Architecture to analyze organization, ordering, and labeling to ensure the optimal findability and layout of functionality and content.

Application Design

CapTech has extensive experience developing application designs for desktop and mobile platforms that are both beautiful and usable.  These designs are grounded in user and content analysis as well as industry-wide best practices and established principles of cognitive psychology.

Usability Testing 

CapTech’s quantifiable approach to Usability sets our approach apart.  Reliance on hard data allows project teams to make reliable decisions on the design of a system. Usability testing allows project teams to vet the effectiveness of an application design against real users prior to deployment thereby mitigating the potential risks to project budget and timeline.
