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.

Design Trends For Mobile – Part 2: Progressive Disclosure

Design Trends in Mobile

This is the 2nd part in a series of trends that I have witnessed in the design world. These trends and UX have now become best practice in mobile design and an essential skill-set for the experienced UI designer.

Progressive Disclosure

Progressive disclosure is an interaction design technique often used to help maintain the focus of a user’s attention by reducing clutter and confusion. This improves usability by presenting only the minimum data required for the task at hand. By disclosing information progressively, you reveal only the essentials and help the user manage the complexity of feature-rich sites.

From a designers perspective we should be using this technique when we feel the customer requires a level of hand-holding and is possibly unsure what they need to do.

For a full and extremely well documented explanation of the Progressive Disclosure see our friends at Wikipedia

Design Trends for mobile: Part I

After only a few years the mobile landscape has generated a selection of trends and UX that have now become best practice in mobile design and an essential skill-set for the experienced UI designer. And as a UX designer you should be aware of these experiences and how best to incorporate them into your design decisions.

Essential Content

Mobile user have an absolutely different mind set to desktop. When you’re searching for that restaurant on your phone, the last thing you need delivered, in a heavy multimedia format, is the history of the company or the head chefs ethos on sustainable farming – you just need the address ( preferably linked to Maps ).
So, concentrate on location, focus on why would the user needs that information and therefore deliver it in the format best suited to the situation, like a phone number.
