Designing the User Interface of a web or software application is usually an afterthought — a rushed part of the development process and the last detail to be taken care of before the quality assurance process begins. And it is because of such lack of prioritization that many projects fail, or end up being such nightmares for the end-user.

At Tyrell Software, we firmly believe that establishing the user interface and functionality of an application at the beginning of the process and continually iterating on that design based on usability testing is an essential part of a successful project. Because of this, most projects will include a discovery phase with the client at which time the requirements are gathered, and application designs are tested against users before the developers start building these interfaces.

The result? The time spent clearly defining the needs of your users will result in a project that meets the expectations of you and your user base, whether it is internal or external.
