Consumer + B2B Product UX

Maximize Usability,
PRODUCTIVITY and SATISFACTION!

Technology users demand products that are intuitive, efficient, and are a delight to use. Each year this demand grows stronger and products that go the extra mile to create products with a stellar user experience win in the marketplace. A User-Centered Design process that incorporates the voice of your users into the design is critical when developing products that meet and exceed users needs and expectations.

We have helped improve the UX of consumer products for some of the major players in the consumer vertical (Oculus, eBay, Netflilx & Google to name a few). We’re excited to partner with you to improve your product next!

It was a wonderful experience working with Shannon. She took on a challenging project for us with an uncertain outcome.

UX Research Director

I feel like there are two layers of results which Sage provides us. The first layer provides the answers to our original problem at hand, and they are VERY actionable. The second layer goes up and beyond our expectations. Sage packages up research themes so nicely that we’re able to apply the research to further projects down the line and build up our general knowledge base.

Your comprehensive site review and professional analysis, usability testing, navigation card sort, and design style guide set our redesign efforts on a clear course that helped us improve site usability. The detailed reports are full of examples, explanations and visual aides that continue to be a valuable reference as we continue our efforts to improve The Florida Bar website. We are happy to serve as a reference and to recommend Sage Research & Design as an excellent resource for improving usability.

I hired Shannon when I was with Access Graphics and again for Tendril Networks. We found Shannon’s input very helpful and appreciated that she found a way to work within our tight budget. You’ll see upon reviewing her credentials that it’d be pretty hard to find a more qualified and experienced user interface expert. I highly recommend Shannon.
