The ide@s Group are able to provide a complete range of usability services. We like to think we offer something a little bit different to other usability specialists. Firstly, we have the support of funded projects and the University of Sunderland which means that the cost of our services is extremely competitive.
Secondly, we take a very different approach to usability consultancy than many others. We never assume that standard user-testing approaches and measures will deliver value to your business. Instead we take a value-centred approach, working directly with you to ensure a thorough understanding of your business goals before carrying out any user-testing or evaluation processes.
Basically, this means that we don't waste our time and your money reporting trivial low impact issues. Our approach allows us to get straight to the issues that really do impact on business values and user experience. It also allows for far greater flexibility. We are able to tailor studies to maximise valuable feedback, whatever your budget may be. You will also be pleased to know that we have at our disposal the very latest in usability technology. This includes static and portable digital laboratories, and a state-of-the-art eye tracking system.
At The ide@s Group we also want to share our knowledge. In 2006 we launched our usability short course. The course is fully-accredited by the University of Sunderland and carries 30 masters-level credits. The programme is suitable for anyone involved in the design and development of interactive products, from project managers to developers.
For more details on our usability services, please see the downloadable documents below. More details on our usability short course can be found on our course web site at:

We are happy to answer any questions you may have on any of our services. There are a variety of ways you can contact us so why not give us a call? You've got nothing to lose!
