When it comes to creating a webpage, app or data system, both  big picture, as well as details, are important. On the one hand, all interest groups and final users should have a chance to express their points of view and wishes. On the other hand, it is necessary that all key aspects are formed into a single vision in the initial phase. The most common way to do that is prototyping.

 

Did you know that when Facebook automatically reposts the picture you uploaded on Instagram, it’s actually an API doing that? Evernote synchronising your notes between the smartphone and laptop? API as well. If you have added YouTube videos to your site or blog, you have used YouTube’s API for that. Web-based APIs are invisible and work “behind the scenes”, yet they have significantly changed the web.

API no longer belongs solely to the realm of the developers. In recent years, APIs have become incredibly easier to use, which greatly expands the number of opportunities connected to them. In just a few years, these opportunities have already drastically changed the way we use APIs.

Did you know that a significant part of your digital experience is based on API-s? APIs are what help you to compare, purchase, save, select, post and log into various environments. APIs play an integral part in operating systems, desktops, mobile phones, internet of things, IT infrastructure as well as software development architecture. That is pretty much everywhere! This is why it is high time to speak about them.

180 people attended the first "Atlassian in Baltics" conference on the 28th of March in Tallinn Hilton Park Hotel.  There is a huge system around Atlassian, which consists of products, resources and assets for users.

In the second part of this series, we gave advice on what to keep in mind upon creating metrics and how to start creating a system.  In the final part we discuss metric formulas and calculations, explain how to interpret the results and what to do with the information.

 

In the first part of “How to measure usability?", we explored the purpose and usefulness of metrics. In this article, we give advice on what to keep in mind upon pic

There are various ways to measure usability. The most common methods include carrying out user surveys and/or polls, conducting user tests and measuring user statistics. Each method has its own important role and appropriate time in the process of measuring usability and product development as a whole.

Intranet was used mainly as a document repository or, at best, as a means for solving problems connected to internal communication, and making information exchange, processes and HR planning more effective. Today, however, many people expect a lot more from an intranet. Why is it so?

World Usability Day Tallinn is the #1 conference for User Experience professionals in Estonia and the largest UX-web- and interaction design event in Baltics. WUD Tallinn is accompanied by hands-on workshops and tutorials on the days before and after the main event. 

E-commerce has been growing an average of 25% a year globally and as many as 30% in Estonia. Many new e-traders are entering the market. To achieve success, traders are looking for the best technological solutions, spend a lot on web marketing and endeavour to offer the best customer experiences.

One can analyse everything – data, things, processes, events etc. Depending on what is being analysed, the correct methodologies will be used. Without a thorough preparation, the analysis will not usually be successful. Every analysis should be done systematically. Analysis could, therefore, be defined as dividing the whole into connected pieces.
