Shortest time to UX improvement

By relying on a senior UX designer's experience, you fast-track the usability and accessibility improvements of your digital product.

Resource efficiency

Tackle the most impactful issues first, optimizing your limited resources. The audit results in a prioritization of the issues based on impact vs effort needed.

Competitive edge

Superior usability, accessibility, and user experience can set your product apart in a crowded market. Delight your users with an engaging and highly ergonomic product redesign.

Our approach

We recommend starting with an expert usability audit to identify low-hanging fruits. Once these are addressed and as your product scales up, you can invest in more in-depth user testing for usability fine-tuning.

When you already have a working product, but the usability suffers, start with a quick expert audit to very quickly eliminate the top issues.  Immediate insights allow you to make impactful improvements to your product quickly.

Our methodology

We typically leverage the leading industry standard – Nielsen-Molich's heuristics – as a very robust framework for identifying typical usability issues. The prioritization step ensures that you focus on changes that will have the most significant impact on your user experience.

Hardware UX Audit

An expert hardware usability audit ensures your device functions optimally and is user-friendly. In med tech and digital therapeutics, this directly affects patient safety and treatment results. For digital health and sports, usability influences data accuracy and user experience. Addressing these issues can increase product adoption, user satisfaction, and health outcomes.

The audit starts with assessing the product’s design and features. Real-world testing is crucial here: the product is placed in the hands of actual users, and their interactions are observed. Feedback is collected on aspects like comfort, intuitiveness, and any challenges faced. Based on data gathered, we present recommendations to refine the product, ensuring it’s both functional and user-friendly.
