User Experience made better
Weaverluke provides world-leading User Experience strategic consultancy and research, design and testing solutions.(Social Design, User Centred Design, Information Architecture and Interaction Design—and consultancy, research and testing for the same—are other useful ways to describe what we do.)
We can help your company deliver a compellingly simple, intuitive and powerful user experience with your digital service offerings.
Beyond the sheer quality of our work as a whole, Weaverluke stands out from our competition in three specific areas:
- we are recognised experts in the social aspects of digitally-enabled services;
- we orchestrate an in-depth understanding of business, brand, technology, psychology and design to provide User Experience consultancy and solutions that reflect the whole of your business;
- we are not afraid to apply our proven skills as creative User Experience innovators when your business goals require it.
Our clients
Our recent projects include:• providing Vodafone with User Experience strategic consultancy and research, a User Experience design solution and skills training, helping them to evolve their Betavine.net mobile app developer community hub;
• working with social fashion trading platform Fashionspace.com to re-architect their service's Information Architecture and User Experience (a site relaunch is forthcoming; Weaverluke's work is not visible on the live site), transforming their ability to deliver on their business goals.
• leading the design and testing of interactive prototypes, over a three month period, of a world-leading news agency's social network for financial services professionals, on behalf of Flow Interactive.
Strategic benefits of investment in User Experience
User Experience is rooted across diverse areas of your business, including business and brand strategy, technology, design and even marketing. For this reason, the direct ROI on investment in User Experience proves challenging to quantify precisely.Nevertheless, from a strategic perspective, investment in User Experience clearly makes excellent sense:
- By properly researching, planning and designing services that meet your business goals by delivering compelling value to your users and customers, you reduce the risk of project failure.
- In today's hyper-competitive market, every useability barrier is a costly lost opportunity. By the same token, improving your services' User Experience can boost your top line significantly, driving increased sales and avoiding unecessary service support costs (eg, helpline provision).
