For software that you, your staff and anyone connected to your business will be using
on a daily basis, getting the interface right is of paramount importance to us. The
software interface will be the way in which users interact with your software; whether
it's your staff or your customers. Anyone using applications to communicate with your
organisation will benefit from and expect to be able to find information and perform
relevant actions, presented clearly and in obvious placements on screen.
Brawn, brains and beauty
We truly understand the difference made by a pleasant and well thought-out
graphical user interface (GUI). Our developers are also fully-fledged web
designers and software designers. Every one of our developers is completely
proficient in industry standard design and imaging tools, like Adobe®
Photoshop®, and has all the technical knowledge to implement the perfect
GUI for your application, either through a web browser or a Windows®
executable application.
On screen 'real estate' is always at a premium and sometimes subject to
variation depending on the end user's screen settings. The interfaces we
design can include space saving techniques such as collapsible or drop-down
menus, tabbed multiple document interfaces (MDIs) and panels that can be
dragged, docked, minimised or maximised. Interfaces for managing data can be
optimised with master/detail displays and expanding and contracting sections
for displaying only the information that is currently relevant.
Our designs consider the user's performance, habits and potential for error
while operating the software. Designing an interface where users can execute
multiple actions with a single click will save them time and increase
productivity. Clear instructions, warnings and error messages set out in
consistent and expected locations will provide the user with guidance and
assurance, reduce the chance of mistakes and enable easier and faster
troubleshooting.
Full design service
Designing interfaces for web applications or desktop software will usually
take the form of a design concept. We will work with you to realise your
design brief through a series of 'layouts' or 'screenshots' that represent
key areas of information within your application; each one being an
interpretation of the overall design concept applied to the information on
screen. Our design layouts will also include, where applicable, indications of
user interactivity over time, such as a button in several states (off,
rollover, active and on) or a section of the screen both expanded and
contracted.
From your business' logo or a corporate loading animation, to an icon set
specifically designed for your software, we have the GUI design expertise to
ensure the best user experience.
