How can testing help your business?

We provide you with a suite of UX testing services that can help you understand how to improve your customers experience when using your digital products.
How can we help your team?
- You need to understand what customers think of your digital presence before you begin to redesign or change the product
- You have a gut feeling that the product isn’t functioning as intended and you need to know why
- Your analytics clearly show that your product is not converting customers and you want to test new user journeys
- You have been asked to create a business plan for further enhancements to your product and customer validation will help support new business cases
- You want to compare your product to your competition to see how you rank by testing it with your target audience.
What we do

Focus Groups
Your customers' feedback can be cruel; it can also be a thumbs up endorsement but it’s never neutral. The reality is that you cannot ignore their opinions and the sooner you understand their sentiment the sooner you can begin improving your digital presence. We identify and recruit suitable participants from our user panel to meet and discuss your product in an open forum. We arrange the entire process, moderating the conversation to ensure you get worthwhile feedback.

Usability Testing
Testing your product with a customer, one-on-one, allows you to cross-examine and explore how they use your products. We work with your team to agree the testing criteria and then recruit target customers to undertake a usability study. We record the entire process, tracking behaviour and gathering both qualitative and quantitative feedback to obtain valuable intelligence on current issues and future opportunities.
