Website & Mobile App Experience
Understand what people need to do on your website or app, where they struggle and which improvements matter most.
Products, Services & Environments
Website & Mobile App Experience research that informs clearer decisions.
A digital experience should help people find information, make informed choices and complete their tasks. We study how intended users interact with your website or app, combining appropriate methods to identify barriers and practical improvements. Findings show the evidence behind recommendations and what still needs testing.
What we look at
Completion of priority user tasks- Form, checkout and onboarding friction
- Navigation and information findability
- Accessibility barriers on key flows
How we study it
- Moderated and unmoderated usability tests
- Heuristic and UX audits
- Analytics paired with qualitative probing
- Prioritised digital fix roadmaps
When to research
When this research helps
Use this research before launching a new experience, evaluating a redesign or investigating difficult tasks in a live product. It can explore why people struggle to find information, complete a form, get started or use a feature.
A small business may focus on one important flow. A larger organization may need to examine several platforms, roles or markets. We agree the audience, priority tasks and decisions the study should inform.
Research focus
What we can examine
Research can cover navigation, search, content comprehension, registration, onboarding, account management, applications, booking, checkout and support. We include relevant error, empty and interrupted states rather than only the ideal path.
For mobile apps, permissions, notifications and transitions between screens may be relevant. For websites, responsive layouts and information finding may need attention. We define platform and version coverage rather than assume every screen or device is included.
What we investigate
Choose methods around the question
Usability testing observes intended users completing agreed tasks. Moderated sessions allow follow-up questions; unmoderated studies may suit clearly defined tasks and an appropriate audience. Interviews explore context and recent experiences.
A heuristic review evaluates selected interactions against usability principles. Its findings are expert observations, not user evidence. Authorized analytics and feedback can help identify patterns to investigate, but do not independently explain why people leave or establish causation.
From context to opportunity
Our research process
Plan the study. Select methods, recruitment criteria, environments and appropriate safeguards
Gather evidence. Observe tasks and explore relevant experiences using neutral prompts
Analyze barriers. Identify problems, differences and uncertainty, separating observations from participant accounts
Prioritize improvements. Connect recommendations to user impact, evidence and practical dependencies
Agree validation. Identify changes to retest and relevant follow-up measures where included
The output
What your team receives
Depending on scope, deliverables can include annotated usability findings, a journey or task map, an issue assessment and prioritized recommendations. Findings describe the affected task, observed difficulty, user impact and supporting evidence.
Reports explain participants, methods, devices, versions and study conditions. A findings workshop helps product, design and engineering teams agree next steps. Detailed redesign, development and implementation support are separately scoped.
Research focus
Research with relevant users
Recruitment can consider new and experienced users, different roles, language and relevant access needs. Depending on the question, we may include people who abandoned a flow or choose another service rather than only successful existing users.
We document participation criteria and coverage gaps. Staff or stakeholders can provide useful context, but are not automatically substitutes for the intended audience. Recruitment and access arrangements are agreed before fieldwork.
Global research
Devices, accessibility and local context
We agree the devices, browsers, operating systems and language versions relevant to the study. Where appropriate, participants can use familiar equipment. Any gaps or simulated conditions are documented.
Research with people who have relevant access needs can identify barriers, but does not certify accessibility conformance. Compatibility, security and performance testing require separate technical coverage. Multi-market research and localization arrangements are agreed where relevant.
Research focus
Use appropriate test environments
We agree consent, recording, data access and reporting arrangements before fieldwork. Test accounts and non-production information should be used where practical. Real payments, account changes or other consequential actions are not assumed within scope.
Sensitive tasks need appropriate scenarios and safeguards. Identifiable recordings are not automatically available for public promotion. Prototype limitations are documented so simulated interactions are not mistaken for live behavior.
Research focus
Prioritize without promising outcomes
Recommendations distinguish critical task barriers, lower-impact refinements and questions requiring more evidence. We discuss feasibility with relevant teams rather than assume every issue requires a complete redesign.
Qualitative findings do not estimate population completion rates. Participant preferences do not prove future behavior, and an expert review cannot validate every recommendation. Proposed changes may need testing before wider implementation.
Measurement
Measure whether changes help
Useful measures can include task completion, errors, assistance needed, comprehension and reported effort. Definitions, baselines and follow-up coverage are agreed around the question.
Research can inform better decisions but does not guarantee conversion, adoption or retention gains. Proving a change caused an outcome requires an appropriate evaluation design. A successful prototype session does not establish performance in everyday use.
Before we begin
Frequently asked questions
Yes, using a suitable prototype or test version. We document what is simulated and which tasks the version supports.
No. A focused study can start with the audience, task and decision you need to understand. Existing data can add context when available.
No. An audit provides expert review findings; usability testing gathers evidence from intended users. They can complement each other, with their findings clearly distinguished.
Yes, with agreed task and platform coverage. We can examine shared goals and transitions while accounting for relevant differences.
Share the website or app, intended users, priority tasks and known concerns. Include existing research or feedback if available. We will discuss scope, access, deliverables, timing and budget.
