iDesign

The DAViD™ Methodology's final stage, iDesign, is the point at which we finalize the detailed information architecture, navigation and interaction elements for the winning design identified at the end of Visioning. iDesign seeks to answers one key question:

  1. What are the detailed components and what are the specifications for delivering a successful, compelling user experience that fully meets the goals of the organization and the customer?

Some of our clients have the experience to complete the interaction design with minimal support from us. In these cases, we provide as-needed support. For most clients, however, we complete the interaction design to its full extent. We would expect to deliver wire frames, flow charts, design specification documents and any other information that would be needed to develop/engineer the product. The number of standardized elements will be identified after Visioning has been completed and the scope of the iDesign Phase can be defined.
