About Us

Concepts, Structures, Designs

For the user, the quality of a product or system lies in its ease of use, practicability and usefulness. You have had a thorough analysis and you therefore know what your system has to offer? Don't put that valuable asset at risk with a unusable, inefficient or unpleasant user interface.

We have a variety of services which will make your system's or product's user interface meet your users´ needs, skills and expectations. Whether it be the structure of the system, task flows, content presentations or hardware buttons, we know how it works best for the user.

User Interface Design

Including navigation logic, content, structure

Information architecture

Only a thoroughly developed information architecture allows a system to grow over the time without introducing major breaks in the concept or structure. We can assist you in developing the right information architecture for your system.

Navigation Design

Navigation is the key element of any system. Navigation elements should support the user in understanding what content is available and in finding the information he needs. To create a successful navigation design, both requirements have to be considered. We can help you to develop the optimal navigation system.

Structure - Conceptional Design

It is essential for any system to provide a transparent (mental) model for the user: communication structures, functions, and contents must be clear, independently from the concrete visual design. We develop the optimal conceptional design for your system.

Styleguide Development

Your system consists of various subsystems, or numerous people are working on this project? Then it is necessary to develop a styleguide. A styleguide not only guarantees consistency and the quality of the system, but also saves time and resources. We assist you in developing (simple to highly complex) styleguides. For effective usage of the styleguide, we also incorporate it in your extra- or intranet (with our webbased StyleguideToolKit © USECON).

User Interface Transfer and Multichannel, Multiplatform Design © USECON

Making services available via various channels (e.g. web desktop and voice interface) or transferring systems and user interfaces to new or additional end user devices (e.g. desktop to PDA and mobile phone) is a crucial task. We provide the specific know-how you need for solving this task.

Multiple User Interface Composite Task Design © USECON

Composing a value added chain of services for the user over a variety of systems and devices (desktop, PDA, mobile, kiosk systems etc) requires a strict user viewpoint and respective knowhow on users´ mental models etc. We have gained outstanding respective knowhow and assist you in the composite task design.

Accessibility Design © USECON

Your system should be accessible also for people with special needs. We know the (international) rules, restrictions and potentials - we can take on that task for you.
