Effective interface design allows the user to access and utilize the functional capabilities of a system - to interface with it. Interface Design encompasses a number of disciplines, including Interaction Design, Information Architecture, and Visual Communication.   Interaction Design This is design "At the glass." And like the glass it's at it's best when it is transparent - when users don't notice it. People go to web sites to do something for themselves. They don't want to think about how they got there or figure out a "creative" quagmire. Onlinefocus utilizes its expertise in best practices and a deep understanding of the user's thought patterns acquired through our Discovery phase to create interaction models that give your customers a clear path to success, where it counts - at the glass. FedEx Rate Finder case study   Information Architecture Careful planning of the information architecture provides a solid infrastructure for your interactive environment. Grouping and naming content so that it is easy for the user to match with their own thought processes is the key to effective information architecture. Our experience designers use their backgrounds in Architecture, Industrial Design, Education, and Creative Writing to create intuitive structures that communicate clearly to users and facilitate efficient implementation. Cisco IQ case study   Visual Communication Color, shape, texture, and contrast are the tools of visual communication. Unlike the written word they can communicate instantly and without effort. This is a great power if used correctly and a potential liability if applied haphazardly. At Onlinefocus, we use visual design to communicate, not just decorate. By providing meaningful clues to the user, interactive experiences can seem like second nature-the first time through.
