Usability is an essential part of having a successful product – it’s no longer optional or viable as an afterthought if you are going to be successful. Useful, engaging and usability products and services create loyal, repeat customers that drive business revenue.
Research and Consulting is our area of expertise
Unlike other companies, our primary focus is providing great research that leads to actionable results so you can improve your product. Our 10 years of in house experience prior to becoming consultants means we understand how product development really works in the trenches. We understand your needs internally and know how to provide you with deliverables that will help you incorporate product improvements into your product development process. Other companies have consultants that have never worked in house on a product team and do not understand the realities of your environment, and may offer recommendations that are unrealistic or will be rejected by your product team, which leads to a poor outcome for the research project. Or they don’t have significant training and experience in user experience, usability and design. Either of these obstacles can lead to projects that won’t move the needle and fix your user experience issues, and at worst will cost you significant time, money and energy pursuing ineffective solutions while your competition starts to move ahead of you.
In our work we have:
- Been involved in over 600+ Usability projects
- Have conducted research around the world – US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan
- Worked in house for 10 years (At Microsoft & Expedia) and understand real-world needs that ecommerce companies have
- Conducted countless usability tests (online & offline), focus groups, eye tracking and other hybrid and innovative research methods

Our team and experience are among the best in the business
With other companies you may be dealing with a “sales team” initially that will hand off your project out to newly minted “consultants” once you sign the project. We are seasoned professionals who will work with your closely and carefully throughout your entire project. We stay current in the field and recognize that best practices are in their infancy in many areas. We are experienced with all types of challenges in user experience and usability – e.g. information architecture, improving effectiveness and usability of key product pages in a purchase funnel, social media integration, the unique nuances of mobile websites/app development, branding, and much much more. See our client list.
We can help your organization improve its customer experience and create more engaged customers that will drive your revenue.
