Information Architecture and Wireframe Development



Intuitive navigation is one of the secrets to an easy-to-use website. At Sandstorm Design, we build navigational outlines including your business and user requirements to intuitively organize and connect your audience to information they need. In order to quickly convey the organization of information, we develop wireframes to visually demonstrate information priorities, basic layout, and navigational structure.

All of this is completed BEFORE any creative design or development has begun, reducing your costs and saving time. Request an Information Architecture quote.


Usability Testing Onsite in our Usability Lab


Usability testing involves watching people trying to use your web site for its intended purpose. Starting with real-life scenarios, Sandstorm will observe, record and take notes while a user performs the task to get to the core of what works and what doesn't on your website. Your end result? A full usability report including key recommendations.

Did you know we only need 6-8 users to uncover 80% of your usability problems? Interested in learning more? Request a quote for Usability Testing.

 

Current Web Site Usability Assessment


Sandstorm Design will conduct a task analysis to identify a common series of tasks your customers go through on your current site. Our usability testing will uncover where your customers are getting stuck, why they leave, and extract information a customer requires and in what form they need it.

Your end result? A full usability report including easy-to-implement suggestions on how to immediately impact the usefulness of your current website or online application.
