I have a wide variety of user experience (UX) / information architecture (IA) related skills and experience gained whilst working on some high profile, groundbreaking projects.
In addition to this I have tried and tested experience of:
- Website usability and User Centred Design
- User testing
- Interaction design
- Visual design
- Website redesign
- Search engine optimisation (SEO)
- Website accessibility
With practical hands-on knowledge of front and back-end web development, I have a rare blend of complimentary skills which position me quite uniquely to be able to provide solid, insightful consulting input that will make a real difference to complex web projects and greatly increase the likelihood of a successful project launching on time and within budget.
Suggested consulting roles
- Overall responsibility for UX design / information architecture
- User testing management/facilitation
- Usability expert reviews (a quick, low cost way to establish key opportunities for improvement)
- Supporting web design / development teams in terms of the usability aspects of a design / re-design project
- Managing creative input so that ground breaking approaches (where appropriate) can be applied, whilst maintaining the usability aspects of a design solution.
- Ensuring the correct balance and synergy is achieved between IA, visual design, website accessibility, and SEO. Whilst these 4 disciplines can often conflict during design projects, having 1 person on the team who has enough knowledge of each to bring them together so that they compliment each other can result in the design and production of truly world class websites.
My daily rate for consulting: £350 - £495, depending on the nature, location and time scale of a project.
If you think that I may be able to support a forthcoming project, or if you'd like more information about my skills and experience, please do get in touch.
