Usability Design

Through architectural realignment, an organisation can de-scramble and release its knowledge base and regain the full commercial value of its online property.

Websites reflect businesses: as the business expands so does its website. Managing this ever increasing information flow requires strict strategic and business processes. Without this discipline, websites and intranets become content heavy and difficult to navigate, decreasing their usability and devaluing the knowledge base.

Good usability and accessibility design is imperative to your website. Syrox can help you plan and implement business processes for information flow and usability good practice, and specialises in the following areas:

Information Architecture

Information Architecture is the practice of designing the infrastructure of a website, specifically the navigation, using business processes and problem identification and solving. By defining clear goals, gathering information, organising, user profiling and prototyping for evaluation, a suitable balance for both the content and user can be achieved.

User-centric Design

As today's websites consist of vast quantities of information, a site's structure and navigation are of vital importance. It is essential to analyse in detail the structure of the site, types of users and their workflow patterns. This allows us to produce a user-centric and task-based site, allowing easier user navigation and ensuring that the information they require is only a few clicks away

Website Accessibility

As of October 2004, UK companies must comply with the Accessibility and Disability Discrimination Act and adhere to the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines. These consist of 14 guidelines spanning four main principles, ranging from textual content to page layout and design and are enforced by The Disabled Rights Commission (DRC), a government-funded body empowered by the Disability Rights Commission Act 1999 to instigate formal investigations aimed at eliminating discrimination and encouraging good practice in the treatment of disabled people.
