Predefined principles or heuristics

Your brand stands for quality. Ease of use. Innovation. Elegance. Speed. But sometimes, despite best intentions, product teams forget what this means for them. They get caught up in delivery, and their tunnel vision leads to a neglect of following guidelines or industry standards. 

Thorough yet relatively quick and cheap

Consider an expert review to help product teams gain momentum, decide on a focus, pitch product improvements to stakeholders, or assess your product's compliance and usability. This is a thorough yet relatively quick and cheap way to have (a part of) your product(s) evaluated. 

We offer five types of expert reviews. Together with you, we decide what product or service will be evaluated, what type of review is most relevant, and which topics or heuristics we will base our review on.

We evaluate your product or service for compliance with accessibility standards such as the WCAG, ensuring inclusivity for users with impairments.

While performing the main user tasks, we check the product on topics like usability, accessibility, consistency, attractiveness and brand experience, in order to identify pain points of the product. 

We check the product against a fixed set of heuristics or design principles in order to identify the most important hurdles of your product. This approach is more structured but also less flexible than a usability review.

We evaluate your product against competitors’ products to provide a comprehensive, well-founded comparison.

We research the logic of your users, we review the information you need to present to them in your product, and evaluate your current information architecture.

Regardless of the type of review you choose, our UX experts deliver a detailed overview of bottlenecks and highlights, a conclusion on overall quality, and an actionable plan for improvement. We present the results of the review to your stakeholders for maximum impact.

Characteristics
User research is incidental and ad hoc.
Fragmented and outdated user journey maps.

Insights are not findable or accessible for every team.

No set of fixed methods.
Initiating fixed working methods.

Systematic.

The user journey becomes the starting point for the workflow.

Central storage of insights. Rights and access are managed.

Continuous user research, testing and implementation of improvements.
The same, interchangeable methods for collecting user data throughout the organization.

It is clear who can (and must) make the decisions.

Every product team - in all relevant chapters and departments - has the same way of working.
What we do
We start with a short audit.

We help you realize your first successes.

We give you the tools to work based on user data. We collect input from your target group.

Depending on where you are, Hike One can take responsibility while we take care of the implementation together.
We help with creating structure, defining roles and selecting the right tools.

We help to coach your (new) experts in-house.

We ensure that you can deliver consistently high quality with less effort.

Together we continuously map and manage the user journey, with responsibility increasingly shifting to your own team members.
We help you get the entire organization working based on user journeys.

We spread the gospel across all silos and we help coach the coaches.

If necessary, we help develop the business case and present it at C-level.
We are all blind to our own flaws. That's why we asked Hike One – as an experienced external party – to challenge us.
