The user experience is key
You know what we are talking about......the sites that you keep going back to. They obviously provide value to you, but likely are also simply good sites to us. They don't make you think.
As designers and developers, it is our job to take a client's requirements, exceed those requirements, and deliver a solution that THEIR clients love. As an example, please take a look at a web application that we recently developed for the Federal Wildlife Service.
This web application makes it easy for site visitors to learn about available public trails within the FWS National Wildlife Refuges. We were charged with keep the application design within the framework of the existing Refuge web site.
Why does it work so well?
- Right from the first page, site visitors can start drilling down to the data they are searching for.
- We use technologies, such as Google Maps, that are familiar to the users.
- We employ good use of white space so that the trail data is not lost in a busy page.
- The application provides prompts that are presented to users based upon the inputs they have given.
- The persistent navigation means the site visitor will never get lost in the application.
All little things, but collectively, they provide a superior user experience.
