New innovative approaches are needed to alleviate the complexity of application design. As application services become more sophisticated, a full lifecycle approach becomes necessary to develop, optimize, deploy, and maintain applications that must meet constantly evolving business needs.

The evolution of technology naturally encompasses the adoption of new protocols and standards which have prompted our clients to consider varied integration approaches. Moreover, the applications are often heterogeneous, made up of a mixture of databases, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, legacy systems and custom applications. Designing applications is a complex activity because of these challenges. Userthink is uniquely equipped to understand and overcome them.

Our primary objective is to specify the best solution to a problem. Our clients’ business goals guide these solutions and help to define the design alternatives. Userthink’s expertise makes a significant experiential difference for your users.

If your organization has the budget available for an initiative but not enough time to complete it, Userthink will rise to the challenge. Our Rapid Design Service is tailored to meet the needs of the customer who needs help yesterday.

A prototype is an inexpensive yet very valuable instrument. It can be used for feasibility or usability testing, or as a proof of concept tool. Userthink offers different prototyping services to address the goals of your project. The prototype tools may be functional or non-functional, depending on their uses or their intended audiences.

Superior usability is fundamental to the success of a complex application. The navigation structure conveys information and guides the user experience, and therefore determines your application’s value, affecting your bottom line. Our research and experience allow us to better understand and identify the combinations of hyperlinks, icons, button nomenclature, sequences, page headings and other elements that comprise an intuitive, usable navigation system.

 
Our design team works closely with the development teams, whether our own or our client's development teams, to ensure a design that meets the technical requirements inherent in the solution. Our designers understand the software development process and work to create designs that are within the realm of technology applicable to the application. We also understand budgetary constraints, so we try to avoid designing applications that require expensive, third-party controls. If our client owns third-party controls, we design with those controls in mind. However, if the controls stand in the way of good usability, our designers will work to find a solution that is beneficial to all.

We have worked extensively with Infragistics and telerik radControls for winforms and webforms design and development.
 
Userthink’s priorities go hand in hand with our clients’ business performance and growth.

As web applications become more complex, a full life-cycle approach becomes necessary to develop, optimize, deploy, and maintain applications to meet constantly evolving business needs.

We support the design by taking a prominent role in delivering a usable graphical user interface. To the end-users, the interface is the key to both the aesthetic attributes of a brand and the functional/user requirements. We see many graphical user interfaces that have an indirect relationship between display, technology, and user experience leading to incompatibilities, inefficiencies, and aspects of misalignment of business performance. Alternatively, our award winning design team aims to provide real time benefits for the user and for the business by designing a compatible, efficient interface that is in line with business performance.
 

Most, if not all, web and application design firms use wireframes.  Wireframes are visual representations of the application or site structure that include navigation and functional elements but do not implement the graphic design. Using wireframes provides several benefits to your initiative. Wireframes are easy to iterate because they do not include the pixel-level detail. They can be used for high- or low-fidelity usability or functional testing, and they are the backbone of the functional specification. Userthink takes wireframes to the next level.
