Syntagm - Design for Usability

News

We recently completed an interesting usability and user experience evaluation of a SharePoint collaboration site for a European Central Bank. It involved a design review and usability testing with internal users. We discovered some challenging issues around terminology and people’s perception of some of the solutions ("a blog? I couldn't possibly use that for a serious project at work"). Get in touch if you need usability, accessibility or user experience expertise.

UCD/UX and Usability Courses - Now in London, Brussels & Hamburg

Our regular series of courses in London have now been joined by dates in Brussels and Hamburg. Agile UX & UCD will be available in all three venues, while Ajax Design & Usability and Card Sorting for Navigation Design are scheduled for London and Brussels. Our 3-for-2 discount applies across the London and Brussels series (but not Hamburg), meaning that you can book three courses and get one free. See the course schedule and booking form.
