Interactive Design And Usability

Interactive Design

Summa Solutions is a full-service user interface design firm offering information architecture, interaction design, and full visual design and branding services. We have experts for each of the unique disciplines that your project may involve, providing you with the right talent for each stage of your project.
All of this coupled with a process that we’ve used successfully with our clients means a smooth road to a usable, visually appealing end product – whether you’re a large company with a long list of products, or a small start-up just getting underway.
Your website is the face of your business. It needs to be more than just pretty; it needs to effectively communicate who you are and what you do, while enticing visitors to answer your call to action.

Usability

“The effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which specified users achieve specified goals in particular environments”.
Where effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction are defined as:

• Effectiveness: the accuracy and completeness with which specified users can achieve specified goals in particular environments
• Efficiency: the resources expended in relation to the accuracy and completeness of goals achieved
• Satisfaction: the comfort and acceptability of the work system to its users and other people affected by its use

Optimizing the User Experience:

Web sites should be designed to facilitate and encourage efficient and effective human-computer interactions. 

Designers should make every attempt to reduce the user’s workload by taking advantage of the computer’s capabilities. Users will make the best use of Web sites when information is displayed in a directly usable format and content organization is highly intuitive.

Users also benefit from task sequences that are consistent with how they typically do their work, that do not require them to remember information for more than a few seconds, that have terminology that is readily understandable, and that do not overload them with information.

Users should not be required to wait for more than a few seconds for a page to load, and while waiting, users should be supplied with appropriate feedback.

Users should be easily able to print information. Designers should never ‘push’ unsolicited windows or graphics to users.

HTML & CSS Layout

We make sure that the CSS will be compliant to standards (W3C) as a generic principle:

• Valid (X)HTML
• Use extensively valid CSS
• Compatibility with browsers
• Use SVG and PNG for graphics
• Accessible content
• Use of standard scripting languages (DOM API)
