Simple is Beautiful
Our approach to evaluating graphic user interfaces is to search for simplicity in every view and every action. We work on all types of software, web applications and websites, evaluating and improving functionality. Cold Spring then either presents a report of our findings or implements the changes ourselves where possible to produce the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Our Methods
Cold Spring starts off by talking to you and learning how the application or website is intended to be used and helps to identify the population of users. We then conduct a heuristic evaluation, the goal being to find the usability problems in the design so that an iterative design process can target them. We conduct usability studies featuring the target population to produce accurate results and closely document time and errors to distill into the most useful information. Finally, we produce visuals on how the software or website could be updated to optimize functionality and appearance.

Give us a call for a free consultation on your software or website. The best time for our consultation would be during the design process so that we can identify sources of trouble before they get to your customers. You can reach us at 508.865.5191.
