User Experience Design

Why User Experience?

If you've ever used a website or software application, you know what makes them great. It's not tons of features and options, or even flashy design.it's how easy they are to use. Great products don't need multi-page help guides and week-long training seminars. They need to be immediately learnable and intuitive; they need to consider the user experience.

SRA's User Experience experts include artists, graphic designers, usability experts, information architects, interaction designers, and facilitators and researchers. With our diverse team, we are able to deliver well-engineered solutions that can:

  • Increase productivity and success rates
  • Create an engaging, intuitive experience
  • Lower training and support costs
  • Reduce development time and costs
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Enhance customer satisfaction
  • Promote strong branding

      Success Story:
      U.S. Department of Health

      When the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) asked SRA to redesign their website, users found needed information only 41% of the time. As a result their customer service center was often flooded with calls requesting information that was available but not easily accessible on the website. SRA redesigned their site applying usability best practices, and as a result, user success in finding information jumped to 92%.
