Aspects concerning the graphical user interface (GUI) have to be considered during early stages of software development. The programming of GUI has a significant influence on the marketing process and attention should be paid to the costs right from the beginning of development. For this reason a consultation in the run-up to a project is very useful. During the project planning we implement a 10 point plan to integrate the user interface design into the development:
1. First of all: base analysis
2. Workshop – objective definition – competitor analysis
3. Establishment of a Parameter Catalog
4. Analysis of the work process
5. Separation into work steps and dialog steps
6. Transformation into rough prototypes and user tests
7. Development of a comprehensive design prototype
8. Evaluation
9. Handover to the programming
Due to the multiplicity of different programs it is not easy to devise new and unique software. We will test if your idea has a unique selling proposition and if a high number of potential clients exist. Software not only has to have many fantastic features, it is also of importance that clients are able to use the software quickly and efficiently. Regarding these issues, we are able to help you create a convincing product.
An accurate requirements analysis is one of the most important cornerstones on the way to a successful interface design. During the requirements analysis, all parameters relevant to the concept and design are gathered, while considering the needs of the user and paying attention to technical circumstances.
There is no one special user but a mass of personalities. Everyone navigates and interacts in own special ways. Past experiences, social and health conditions affect consumer behavior. The job of the GUI designer is to allow for differentiating consumer behavior and to offer everyone an optimal interface.
The user interface of a program mediates workflow and features while giving a clear overview of information. The screen design provides optimal support of the user concept and improves the visual usability. An aesthetic and high class GUI design gives the product an appealing character and is an important part of product design and branding. We design perfect mapping of hard keys and input elements in accordance to existing screens. Thus the user interface of a product strengthens your corporate identity.
Today a life without graphical user interfaces is unimaginable. When workflows become complex and the range of functions increase, a good design and a clear structure becomes very important.

We design the perfect mapping of hard keys and input elements in coordination with the existing screens. The user interface of a product strengthens your corporate identity.
It is not always necessary to reinvent the wheel. Often small updates can be sufficient to offer more convenience to the user. We analyze the potential of optimization of your software and present methods of resolution and new solutions. These methods will be elaborated on together with our clients.
The icon uses minimal space to express the whole character of the software. On the other hand the icon has to have high brand recognition. Therefore, icon style and language have to explain clearly what the symbol stands for. We develop icons which are pixel exact and reduced to the clear key message and optimized for all sizes.
Thanks to our interdisciplinary team we have the possibility to offer different development environments for our GUI design. For Microsoft Visual Studio / WPF (via Microsoft Expression Blend and XAML) or for example for Delphi, QT, Adobe Flex and Flash. We are thus able to offer the maximum comfort for your developer in the areas of integration and realization.
If you wish a certification of your software according to usability aspects, it is possible for us to develop and design according to DIN EN ISO 9241 part 11 and 110 (Usability product testing) and DIN EN ISO 13407 (Usability process testing) guidelines.
Besides a high level of design there is a wide range of aspects which are important for UI design. Good screen design represent your corporate identity and serve the branding. It reflects the personality and positioning of your brand. It is possible to express and visualize the connections between the GUI style and the character of your corporation and brand in many different styles.
During conception and design not only the end user is put at the center of attention but also the programmer. It is necessary that the implementation of a GUI can be handles easily by the programmer. Therefore we create templates and design patterns which fit the particular programming environment and the individual application. In relation with the GUI guidelines an independent upgrading of the software is possible.
The unique GUI style tailored to your company underlie special guidelines and conscious definitions. These will be documented in the style guide and handed over to you. This makes it possible for you to arrange all areas of your corporation and align branding areas. This also allows for third parties to integrate services along this visual guideline to your corporate identity.
