Mobile computing

There is a huge marketplace for location based services and applications providing access to real-time data. Most of those who have experience using mobile applications will, however, tell you that they have no compelling reason to use a device that is so restrictive. This mentality is largely due to an inherent lack of usability with these applications.

"71% of the UK population own mobile phones and the figure is rising, so is the use of newer wireless technologies" E-Mori 2001

 

Improving the usability of your application can lend you a considerable competitive edge. Usability is set to delineate winners and losers in the industry.

As part of the improvement process, I create a representation of your system using wireframes, which are mock-ups of individual interface screens.

As well as modelling the concepts, my wireframes also consider the site's intended content, intended audience, scenarios of use and technical constraints. These prototypes are created using tools such as Visio, Excel or Powerpoint.

Each element in the wireframe is verified by employing specialised techniques, to elicit user feedback on the developing user centred design. The wireframe is constantly revised based on this feedback and any necessary design modifications are made. Throughout this process the technical feasibility of the proposed solution is constantly monitored.
