אודותינו
I often come out with the best solution, by making sure I understand the problem, putting creative ideas on paper, run it through users by getting them to use it first. Rapid prototyping helps me move very fast with getting close to strong product design. I have had the privilege of working with an amazing team from developers to QAs to Marketers etc, in an Agile environment working together to build software that is widely used by a variety of people on a daily basis, and I learned from them and as well impacted their lives. I believe a great product is not built by one great mind alone, but by a passionate team with mindsets of putting a smile on people's faces.
How I Design the best solutions.
1. Usability test, using a think-out-loud protocol which allows users to give real-time feedback as they perform tasks. Usability studies are proven to decrease support costs, increase user satisfaction, and save on development and redesign efforts.
2. Keep the design simple, like what Albert Einstein said; “If you can’t explain it, you don’t understand it well enough. As the first thing prospective clients see when they visit your website, the homepage is typically the most significant component of the web layout of a tiny business. I will ensure that your homepage addresses the critical questions that fresh visitors will ask, including who you are, what your company is and what they can do on your blog.
3. Considering people visiting your website from laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
I shall perform heuristic studies on the layout components of your website for the purpose of eliminating problems and use the information gathered to improve the website. Improvement may include: readable text without a zoom, sufficient room for touch objectives and no horizontal monitoring.
4. Showcase your products and services. I will ensure the product or service you sell is clearly presented on your homepage. Including professional photographs or videos, most small companies may benefit. It is important to have clear, crisp and appropriate product photos or graphic images as well as descriptions.
5. Considering site load times. People are frequently impatient to browse sites, and slow loading times can determine if people are ready to buy or learn about their products or services. I will make sure of a regular audit of your site by checking load times, site speed, and consistency.
6. Make your site easily accessible. Consider that people with certain disabilities (such as color blindness) will visit your site, and plan your design so that they, too, can learn about your products and services. Also, consider how people with slower Internet connections will view your site and what you can do to improve their experience.
7. Organize your site to provide a great user experience. Keep in mind that when your prospective customers visit your site, they’re typically looking for specific information. They’re rarely going to read entire pages, and most people will skim pages quickly. A well-structured site that presents information in an orderly and organized way will be much more successful than one that appears chaotic or that is not intuitively arranged.
8. Content is critical. Poorly written content can quickly cause a visitor to leave your site. Don’t disregard the importance of well-written headlines; they can be very powerful and can mean the difference between a visitor reading the rest of the content or choosing to leave your site. Be sure to keep the content relevant.
