Analyse early, analyse often

As UX researchers, whether we are working on some early exploratory user research, or working on a quick and ‘lean’ usability testing project, due diligence in analysis is a necessary part of our trade. But have you ever experienced ‘paralysis by analysis’ or felt overwhelmed by the amount of data collected? You may have just spent a month conducting contextual enquiries with your user base, and now face the seemingly impossible task of pulling it all together. Or you may be working in an Agile / Lean UX environment and have just finished 4-6 test sessions and now need to quickly work out what the key insights are – due tomorrow. How do you get a handle on all this information and distil it into some meaningful insights?

UX lessons from the 2016 Census

The main issues which had a dramatic effect on data quality and the user experience of the 2016 Australian census were largely related to the design of the delivery and distribution process, offline support and technical issues but we can still learn a lot from the #censusfail both in terms of process and UX design.

UX of university websites: User needs

Our university clients are starting to focus on understanding their users and their needs but, there’s still room for improvement. Find out what info current and prospective students want to see on university websites.

Mobile UX Part 2: Sticky headers

Sticky headers are persistent headers or menus that do not move when the user scrolls. There is some research to suggest that sticky menus are quicker for users to navigate a site and that most users prefer this type of menu. As research into the effectiveness of sticky headers on mobile sites is limited, we felt this was worthy of further investigation.
