Usability Consulting by Hob by Horse

Usability, loosely translated, describes the user-friendliness of your online shop. More precisely, it is not just about the manner of usage but also the offering of numerous user interface options from which your target audience can choose the relevant ones. Customers tend to repeat enjoyable shopping experiences. o achieve this, we optimize usability right from the development phase of a website using the features of Shopware 6 and our other software solutions. For existing online shops, we provide consultations regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the current version, support teams in their project work, and carry out adjustments and extensions for your e-commerce platform upon request.

  • Conceptual Consulting/Prototype Development: This area of consultation involves detailed concept development in e-commerce and web projects.
  • Design Consulting: As web developers, we pinpoint weaknesses in your current design. At the same time, we offer to better elaborate on design-related strengths and adapt them technically to the user experience (UX).

Our usability consulting sensitizes you to the expectations of specialized customers in manufacturing, processing, and research sectors, always focused on the success model of your business. In B2C interactions, simplicity and ease of understanding also play a crucial role. Products, services, and information provided by authorities must be presented and explained in a specialized manner for A2A customers and in a user-friendly way for A2C individuals. The most successful online shop in a given industry is not necessarily the most complex one; rather, it’s the one with the highest information density, allowing all users to easily filter out the relevant details tailored to their needs.
