Design that Converts Traffic

The first thing that visitors notice about your site, before they even see a heading, is the design. That’s what hits them first and sets the tone for their response.
You could have the solution to all their problems on your site but if your design puts them off, they will probably hit the back button. This makes our web design invaluable, especially for online businesses.
Our website designs are not only aesthetically pleasing, but functional so that the visitors can easily read the landing page, explore the site and ultimately making the desired action.

We Can Design Websites of any Scale and Style

No project is too big for our expertise or too small for our time. You can come to us with any kind of website design project. We have completed numerous projects of varying sizes and complexities. In each one we delivered a web interface that was attractive, relevant and helped the clients achieve the website goals.

Gone are the days when the computer was the only device used to browse the web. With smartphones and tablets finding their way in every hand and pocket, you need to have your website optimized for these devices.
You can count on our design team to design websites that not only run on, but make the best use of the devices people use to visit your website, impressing them wherever they are.

User Experience Architecture

Creating the Best Experience for Everything we Create

User experience architecture is an increasingly popular concept that accounts for all the human factors that affect user experience. Openquarter fully exploits this discipline to maximize the usability of all our products from websites to content management systems.
Creating the best user experience is critical for the success of any system. It won’t matter how much time and resources are spent on a system if the user experience is not satisfying. A brilliantly designed website or a powerful & feature-rich content management system can fall on its face without a satisfying user experience.

A ‘Usable’ Website Converts Visitors

User experience architecture delivers significant and measurable results. We use our knowledge of user experience architecture to create a positive experience for the end users, usually your target market. When applied to your website, it helps visitors easily and joyfully interact with your website, and take the desired action.

Creating Efficient Management Systems

When our experts apply the concept of user experience architecture to management systems, we develop the most effective and efficient systems for your business. All the power and potential of the system we develop is then translated into your business efficiency because users are able to make the most of its functionality.
We use a range of techniques to embed the dynamics of user experience architecture every project. These include:

• Flows and Navigation Maps
• User stories or Scenarios
• Site Maps and Content Inventory
• Wireframes
• Prototypes
• Graphic mockups

We also conduct interviews, workshops and create user personas to determine what your target audience needs and to what they will respond most positively. The end result is invariably the most impressive, usable and hence successful system whether it’s in the form of a website, management system or mobile app.

Graphic Design

Creating an Impressive Corporate Identity

Openquarter’s graphic design team helps you create a notable corporate identity. We do this via a range of visual devices such logos, company stationery, brochures, presentation decks, PowerPoint presentations and other print materials.

High Quality Designs the Communicate your Brilliance

Our graphic design team is incapable of producing anything but remarkable designs. Our high quality deigns help you stand out from the crowd. People see thousands of logos and corporate symbols in their lives. Our objective is to make sure they remember and like yours over the others.

Unique & Memorable Logo Design
Your company logo is the single most effective visual device that can be used to bond with your target market. Working closely with you, Openquarter’s graphic design team understands your company values, aims and vision. We combine this with our creativity to create a logo that is truly impressive and memorable.

Massive Marketing Machines
All the elements within your corporate identity such as business cards and brochures have immense marketing potential. These are things that your stakeholders, whether they are customers or partners, can hold in their hands and feel.
Unlike digital elements such as a website, these print materials cannot be switched off. You can ‘leave them behind’ for instance after a meeting and expect people to take them home. Our excellent graphic design helps you make the most of this potential, making it easy for people to appreciate your business, brand and services offering.

Helping you Dominate a World Dominated by Image
The work of our graphic design team is invaluable in a world dominated by images and visual devices. We help you shape a unique and memorable identity for your brand and business. Our team is well-versed in creating a cohesive design that binds you company values as well as all your stakeholders, partners and customers alike.

5 top UX tips for every business

1. Make usability a priority early in the process

It’s easy to get locked into a business mindset when it comes to designing a website, and creating one that suits your business goals but not your users. However, designing a site that suits your users is the key to ensuring successful transactions and the achievement of your business goals.

Early in the design process, start thinking like your users and ask yourself what they’ll be looking for when they visit your website. Design everything, from the sitemap to the font size, to make it easy for them to navigate your site and find the answers to the questions they have right up front.

How to improve the usability of your website

As we mentioned in our last post, attention to the user experience (UX) is essential for today’s business website. So the big question is: how can you improve the usability and user experience of your website?

The first step is research

Research is a crucial part of UX, and the foundation of creating a beautifully interactive website. It helps you understand your customers and provides insight into their needs and what they expect from your website. This is turn helps to pre-empt any problems they may face by designing every interaction and mapping their navigation experience.

Conducting research is often best left to UX experts, as their results will be independent, objective and turned into recommendations for information architecture and website design that you can incorporate immediately. However, whether you hire UX researchers or try doing it yourself, these are some types of usability research:

Why User Experience matters for your business

Now more than ever, User Experience (UX) is an essential part of setting up or reviewing your business website. The modern user is more savvy, more discerning but has less time, so websites must be designed to lead them exactly where they want to go. That is, their experience must be positive.

What outcomes can your business expect from positive user experience?

IBM says that for every dollar invested in improving your website’s usability, you could achieve a return of between ten to one hundred-fold on your investment. Jakob Nielson statistics show that redesigning a website for positive user experience can increase the sales and conversion rate by an incredible 100%. With the potential for increased sales, increased customer leads and increased registrations, usability is quickly proving essential for modern businesses.

The best thing about UX is that it is a measurable field. With today’s technology, we can harness information at rates never seen before. We can calculate how long a user’s mouse hovers over a certain part of the website and how many clicks are achieved by call-to-action buttons placed in different positions. All this gives us insight into users and their interaction with our sites, that help us create designs that are customised for a positive user experience.
