User Experience

Designing For The Mind

With years of training in behavioral and cognitive psychology, learning from thought leaders in some of the largest corporations on the planet, we’re constantly focused on the motivation and drive of people – the how and why they choose to engage with certain services and not others.

We Don’t Design for Machines

While the industry defines the discipline as “user” experience, we prefer the term human experience. Understanding and incorporating the human element into every project allows our clients to engage others resulting in unforgettable, and positive experiences for all people.

UX Research

With a wealth of resources from designers around the world, remote research tools, and experiences in designing for private, public, and non-profits, we bring the very best practices in UX research to every project. Make design choices based on the expectations of visitors to your site.

Quantitative vs. Qualitative

Interpreting analytics and other quantitative elements is important, but only when balanced with the qualitative aspects that make up the values and ideals of your customers and clients. Incorporating qualitative elements provides a stronger business case for greater variety of solutions.

SERVICES

Personas

Our personas provide a clear understanding of the psychographic, technographic, and demographic details for better target audience segmentation. Humanizing the data keeps the conversation focused on the content and the interactions that matter to your clients, citizens, and potential customers.

Usability Testing

Design is about iterative development, and evolving ideas with how others perceive your site is critical to staying current. Our usability tests (remote and in-person) allow organizations to understand what others want from your site.

Mental Models

Mental models provide a complex understanding of how others perceive your site and the values and ideas that are important to them, providing qualitative context to the data that drives decisions within your organization.

Remote User Research

With access to several tools, I.A. Consultants is able to provide detailed analysis of how users are accessing your current site and offer recommendations for specific solutions that will improve your visitor engagement.

Mobile

Designing for only 20% of the canvas normally found on the desktop is a challenge for all organizations. We believe in designing for mobile that focuses on the key interactions desired by your customers, ensuring a great experience from the very first download.

Project Management

Creating a great experience requires facilitation, not lecturing. With nearly two decades of experience, I.A. Consultants brings teams and ideas together to the benefit of the people for whom you are designing.

FIND OTHER SERVICES

In the Information Age providing context to information is critical. We work to ensure visitors of all web services can quickly and easily find everything they need, whenever they need it. After all if you can’t find the information you’re seeking… you can’t use it!

We bring to the table thought leadership from Fortune 500 companies, systemic thinking, and an international perspective that helps our clients learn different ways of approaching problems in the areas of information architecture and user experience.

Jeff Parks has interviewed leaders in design from around the world in addition to presenting at the Information Architecture Summit, Mitel Networks, CHI, Bar Camps, and more. He also leads workshops on information architecture, and user experience via Follow the UX Leader.

Follow the UX Leader is not your typical web and corporate training course. Forget the droning lecture and endless PowerPoint slides! Writing on tables in encouraged, talking out in class is welcomed, and learning is exactly how it used to be when we were kids - hands on… interactive… and fun!
