CARD SORTING

CONTRACTOR SITE CARDSORT

Card sorting asks users to organize data into logical groups. By analyzing the outcome of a card sort, UX designers can identify patterns and trends in how users classify data and apply it to the way information is grouped, labeled, and organized within a site or application. 

A group of users was asked to sort the content of a website used to identify work contractors as well as become a contractor identifiable on the site.

WHITEPAPER

UNIVERSAL DESIGN

Regardless of the circumstances, when one’s physical, cognitive, visual, or aural faculties are reduced, it impacts how they interact with the world and their electronic devices.


Universal design is an approach to designing products, buildings, and environments to ensure they are accessible to everyone– regardless of their capabilities, proficiency, or situation.
