User Interface Design
Why do it?
User Interface Design is the essential element of the design of a
site or application that specifically examines how to enable
users of the system to accomplish their objectives most efficiently.� This
is accomplished through a three-phase process that begins with a detailed
definition of the target audience(s) for an interface and their specific,
functional objectives.� The second phase converts these written
requirements to an interface architecture that describes page layout and
functionality without the distraction of a visual design (i.e. colors,
illustrations, images).� Finally, these layouts are documented in a
detailed specification that acts as a foolproof instruction manual for
constructing the interface.
What's delivered? A User Interface Specification, which is an invaluable
document with a multitude of uses.� First and foremost, our Specifications
are used by our clients to provide a set of detailed instruction to their
development team that leaves nothing to chance.� User Interface
Specifications can also be used as the basis for a vendor selection
process.� Providing all prospective vendors with a fully-developed
description of the functional and interface requirements of a system,
facilitates an "apples to apples" comparison of competing bids, as well as
insuring that all bids accurately reflect the effort and cost that will
ultimately be required.��
