Usability Engineering

While it's easy to make things difficult, it's difficult to make things easy. With this in mind, HT Consulting applies human factors principles and research methods to help you make informed decisions about the design of web sites, software, documentation, medical instruments, telephones, home entertainment systems, etc.

HT Consulting helps you improve usability by

• testing and evaluating your product or design for ease of use,
• diagnosing usability problems, and
• recommending design improvements.

User-centered design makes products more intuitive and easy to learn, as well as efficient and pleasurable to use. Moreover, usability pays off on the bottom line through increased sales and traffic, as well as reduced support costs. In this sense, an ounce of prevention (usability engineering) is worth a pound of cure (training, documentation, and customer support).
