Background Information
of Interface «Ship Design»
Proper Web Interface design is an inescapable link in the chain of qualitative realization, which contains both user behavior model and product functionality.
At The first stage, the type of audience is determined, goals and aims are set to be achieved or solved. All user actions are worked through «interaction map» where all behavioral factors analyzed, results are compared and the most proper way of graphical and text data display is shown.
If you break down all web interface design into steps, you can get the next work stages:
PRELIMINARY
ANALYSISThe guidelines of the project are discussed: key points, aim, and brief functionality description with the help of micro interaction scenarios. There is clients’ mental characteristics — their needs, decision points, motivations for buying, etc.
DETERMINING THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE FUNCTIOANAL AREASIn some design features, full functional process is required, in the other — single page, in the third — just an action button. This data grid is overlaid on a site map, creating a navigation scheme.
MAPPING A WEBSITE
This is just a raw sketch, but further on it will be responsible for user interface design. A map is based on information compilation, defined in the first paragraph. Amount of work and order timing are also determined here.
FLOWCHART
PAGE CREATIONThere is a visualization of placing the control and information elements, but this is not a design, it is called wireframes, a requirements document for designer. Process of approval and confirmation of all elements takes from one to several weeks, depending on project complexity.
CREATIVE CONCEPT
AND DESIGN MOCKUPSWe are working on a project general style and designing the system main pages mockup, based on designer creative work. This is the key point, because it combines both the internal matter of a project and its complete visualization. In addition, interface style guide is created to save a selected direction, in case of update, functional expansion or adding new systems.
If you decide to order UI design services from Stfalcon, you will also get an author web interface prototyping support and product specification preparation which includes all system functionality, architecture and operation specifications. We can help you even with game prototyping.
We provide you with a perfect working system and full set of documents, which allow you to react quickly to system requirement changes. Considering the up-to-date projects activity rate, it is an essential advantage, which our company gives you, and it allows you to follow the successful path of interaction with client without a doubt.
