User Interface Design

You shouldn’t need to be an engineer to use a Web application.

Brook Group’s software interface design experts can make your clients happy by boosting your product’s usability, and that will increase its worth.

Our services make sure that your technical innovation meets your customers’ needs. Our user-friendly interfaces will get your product off the shelf, drive profits and increase your ROI.

The process of software interface design

Brook Group’s interface design process creates an array of clean, simply structured interfaces. Using our deep experience in information architecture, usability best practices, compelling creative design, and branding, we can ensure that your users have the experience they need for you to succeed.

Our process is a perfect balance of art and science, of marketing and engineering. Effective software interface design translates into innovative engineering concepts for the user. By recognizing the importance of the user at every decision, we reach the end goal of selling the product for its maximum worth.

Experience in solid interface design

Many firms don’t understand the nature of the collaboration required for a solid interface design. At Brook Group, our team applies 20 years of experience as project managers and information architects. Working together with you, we will help you analyze, evaluate, assess and document every aspect of your project. From goal-setting to staffing, defining requirements to assessing technology, we work with you from inception to implementation.

If you’re looking for a complete design or simply a fresh set of eyes on a well-established project, Brook Group can provide efficient solutions. In some of our most successful working relationships, we have “plugged right in” to our client’s development teams, offering a new perspective on the user experience design.

The Software Interface Design Process

 

Research

Our process begins with research and analysis. We examine both your product and the competition. We review the baseline software and analyze your target audience’s attributes. We study your users and find out their level of technical sophistication. We research their expectations of a user experience in regard to interacting with a technical interface.

Production

We create a series of interface interaction case scenarios by re-engineering the application based on the information provided by your target audience.

Testing

After these scenarios are created, we test them extensively. End-user feedback is crucial to determining the true ease of an application. This type of research saves time and money by anticipating issues before and during product development. Obtaining the users’ perspective as early as possible in the process will set the tone for success when the product goes to market.

Keep Updated with the Project Site

At Brook Group, we maintain a robust project site for every project that we do. Equipped with a username and password, our clients can log in to the site and view the progress, as well as meet and discuss project details. As the project evolves, we post all updates to design, content, navigation, requirements and strategy, in addition to team member contact information.

Results

Our software interface design process delivers results. With our design in place, you can expect:

  • Improved Usability
    Our interfaces emphasize clarity and ease of use. They implement the latest UX and UI standards and are cross-platform so that users can easily move from one application to another.
  • Improved User Experience
    Our simplified application architecture increases the user experience by removing all confusion and complications. This process prevents user error and enhances perceived product value.
  • Enhanced Design
    Our engaging design process renders the technology more attractive to its target audience because its appearance is inviting, clean and easy to use.
  • Better Branding
    Because we are a usability and branding firm, we have the unique understanding of brand application in software interface design. We implement brand identity in a manner which has been historically proven to increase customer loyalty and stock prices.
  • Financial Savings
    By improving the flow, navigation and information architecture, our interface designs can reduce your number of support phone calls by more than half. In addition, our interfaces have a greater perceived value and can therefore support higher price points.
  • Higher Standards
    We routinely design and instill top level UI standards for our clients’ development teams to follow in their future work.
