Always looking for my next challenge

Category: Web design

From Discovery to understanding client’s goals, their target audiences, and their brand identity. I champion interviews, surveys, and competitor analysis within a compelling narrative using wire framing and prototyping, through to visual design. My goal is to create the foundations of a user-friendly interface, partnering typography, colour and imagery. This not only increases user engagement but tilts towards higher conversion rates that stack up against an improved brand image: Building trust with customers.

    Wireframing an on-demand Internet streaming media service

    I have been recently working with a colleague on a private project around the world of media streaming. We had got to a level where the tech was getting up to scratch, but the UX was missing.

    So, here it is.

  • Mobile best practice for registration – Put the users needs before technology

    User Registration on Mobile

    I have recently been involved in both high-level concept generation through to territory specific text changes in the exiting world of User Registration. These are my top 5 tips to help you streamline your process or find some inspiration.

    1. Do not turn-off your client

    Very early on you begin to realise that you, as a UX designer answering to Business and shakeholders alike, should avoid providing a dry and labour-intensive solution to what is a tedious process. This will inevitable put off, or turn off, potential new customers from the start. So, as they walk through your virtual door, try to present a broken-down and achievable process where they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t forget : Break your offer into bite-sized chunks

    Regulations possibly dictate that your customers will need to supply certain information. If so, have them supply that information up-front. That way you, as a caring and customer-centric company can temporally capture that info and call them back should they drop-off. Then you can ask ‘Is everything allright? Can we help you further with your registration?”

  • What’s your favourite wire-framing style?

    wireframingMontage

    Pick your battles, know your styles

    Whether for desktops, on a tablet or the this mythical idea of a mobile internet (there is only one web to experience – but that a different post!) the modern UX-er should be skilled in the art of wire-framing. The style you use should come from the answers to these three things:

    • Process – From low-fidelity through to fully functioning prototypes is the sure-fire route to excellence. In reality, how often does this really happen. If you have enforce a process, I would insist on the sketching and on the final design stages.
    • Resources – I have sat in top-level boardroom meetings in the most stylish settings in the capital, tea and coffee from all over the world. Clearly, resources were not a factor here – so you would be expected to know Azure inside out and be expected to roll-out full functioning Fireworks prototypes. You may even get some business heads thinking your protoypes were so good , it’s a done job!
    • Quick turnaround – Picture the scenario, your stakeholder is looking for a quick – fix. You have fought your corner but there are no requirements, no analysis, no nothing. Always try to push for more than a few scribbles on the back of napkin but sometimes it is more productive just to get on with it.

    Depending on the answers to these issues will depend on the wireframing style you deploy
