UCD - Usability Consulting

Abstract Technology can provide you with expert usability help on an ongoing or short-term basis.

Most of our ongoing usability support takes place under the guise of our support packages. The usability support packages give you and our organisation access to one of our usability consultants any time. Examples of what our usability consultants may do for you include:

• An expert evaluation and/or quick usability testing of new pages
• Training or specialist advice in a particular aspect of web usability or the user-centered design process
• The creation of a quality control strategy, with ongoing reviews and audits, to include:
  • Style guide - rules governing your site's appearance
  • Architecture guide - rules governing your site's structure and labelling
  • Content guide - rules governing your site's content
  • Publishing policy - rules governing how content is written, edited and published to your site
• Analysis of your site statistics and report on them with prioritised recommendations

Our usability consultants all have a thorough understanding of the user-centered design process. We offer three different levels of support to help you with web usability:

Basic level

Half a day per month assistance and help - £400

Advanced level

One full day per month assistance and help - £750

Premium level

Two full days per month assistance and help - £1300

Your time allowance can be split however you like and you need not inform us how you wish to manage the time. In fact, you can pick up the phone and get help with any usability or user-centered design problems you may have any time between 9.30 and 5.30 from Monday to Friday.

Our usability support packages can be combined with our accessibility & CSS support packages³, giving you access to even more expertise!
