At Mogul, we have been designing interfaces for over ten years, for a wide range of web applications, for clients around the world as well as for our own social media wall, Strea.ma.
Usability is central to everything we do at Mogul: we create websites and apps that get used by very large numbers of people, and we have developed a very good understanding of successful user interface design.
If a button or a form or a menu is on your website or in your app, it must be important for your users. So you need to do a proper job of it!
Any software that requires interaction with its user requires an interface. This can range from something as simple as a website’s navigation menu, to an online shopping cart, through to a full social media content moderation screen.
The most important part of any computer system is the person using it. And that means when you’re designing software the user interface – the bits the user can see, touch, and hear – should get a great deal of attention. The introduction of the keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and now the voice assistant, have all signalled huge leaps forward in the usefulness of our computers, but even so, it’s very easy to design software that is difficult to use, and this usually stems from a lack of planning and process.
The benefits of good usability are huge. Your customers will be happier, your website visitors will stay longer, and you’ll save time and money on support.
