New products and technologies should simplify and enrich people's lives. Our goal is to design interactions that are easier, more intuitive, and more efficient for everyone.
Nowadays, interaction with machines, technical devices, and computers plays a significant role in daily life. We are convinced that human-centered development holds enormous potential for making life easier and more enjoyable. Win-win solutions instead of frustrated users. Only companies that know the needs of their users and customers and take these into account in the design of their products will be successful in the long run.
What can we do for you? We will be happy to advise you free of charge at no obligation on how you can integrate meaningful usability measures in your project.
Our user-centered approach carried out by interdisciplinary teams leads to innovative and user-friendly solutions. We don't give up until we have found the best solution for our clients and their customers. Through the use of proven, scientifically-based methods combined with the technical knowledge of our experienced UX experts, it is possible to systematically implement the user experience. With passion and conviction.
We listen to you and understand your requirements and objectives. We learn about the needs and requirements of your users and customers. We develop an approach that is tailored to your individual project. We not only identify problems and weak points but can also convert our findings into specific recommendations for solutions and designs. In so doing, our high standards of quality guarantee optimal solutions. Satisfied customers speak for themselves.
Before we get started we take the time to fully understand your questions and objectives.
We not only identify usability weaknesses. We also support you with specific solutions.
No matter how complex and extensive an application is: we find ways to simplify it for users.
We also take into consideration the company structure, internal processes, emotions, and other influencing factors that go a long way in determining the success of a usability project.
Internal discussions often end in a blind alley. With the user's perspectives, we bring stalled projects back on track.
Instead of relying solely on PowerPoint presentations and time-consuming meetings, we hold constructive, well-moderated workshops. Using the right methodology, we design interactive workshops that provide answers to specific questions.
We are continuously broadening our knowledge. Upon request we will be happy to share our knowledge about usability and user experience with you - tailored to your specific project or company, of course.
“usability.de impressed us with high-quality results and a flexible working manner. Thanks to the professional support we were able to seriously improve the usability of our web portal. With this kind of project we would always get back to usability.de again.”
“usability.de tested the prototype of our new customer app. The results have been very insightful and could be incorporated to a great extent. The new app is very well received by our customers and we can now completely replace the old version.”
“usability.de was asked to kill two birds with one stone: On the one hand we wanted to build up our own UX expertise. On the other hand we needed support during our first usability project. usability.de solved this task by conducting efficient in-house workshops. In this context we performed an expert review of a transnational Airbus tool together and thereby got to know different usability methods. usability.de excellently finalized the written report, which was later presented to Airbus’ CIO in a workshop. Now we feel prepared to start our own reviews in bottom up initiatives. It’s good to know, that with usability.de we have a professional partner at hand. Thanks a lot!”
“Working with usability.de proved to be very helpful during our development process. The tests were carried out exemplarily well, and the final report has shown us specific problems along with suggestions for solutions. During the tests we used the services of an interpreter, who removed the language barrier altogether. We can definitely recommend usability.de and are looking forward to our future cooperation.”
“usability.de successfully identified weaknesses in the navigation of our user interface and offered valuable suggestions and constructive recommendations for optimization. Thanks a lot!”

“In a user-centered design process usability.de developed a prototype of a sales application, which helped us in many ways – e.g. through specific feedback from our target groups in contextual interviews […]. In addition to the visible project results – e.g. the navigation and interaction concept – changing our working manner by implementing a user-centered approach was a substantial benefit. […]””
“The preparation and conduction of the usability test were highly professional. Watching our end customers use our website clearly showed us which adjustments we absolutely have to tackle.

Especially the well-structured report and the workshop with our project team and usability.de helped us to classify the test results correctly and to implement them easily. We are very pleased with the good cooperation with usability.de… and with the positive user feedback.”
“Thank you so much for all the help from you and the team at Usability DE. We were unsure on the best way to take our user testing forward, but we needn’t have worried as your insight and experience was able to guide us to the best approach for our needs. Once that was agreed, the organisation and execution was first-rate. We learnt so much from watching the testing and afterwards, we could ensure all possible value was gained with your detailed post-testing report and workshop to discuss. An excellent service, thoughtful collaboration throughout and overall a great experience! Thanks for all your help!”

I warmly recommend usability.de”

The test results were comprehensible, partly surprising and very well presented. We thereby got to know our target group even better and understood their needs. The prototype is terrific and is already being used for the first technical implementations. You did a great job, thank you very much. I'm sure we'll work with you again!”
