Why a GUI Health Check?

Back to topChange is inevitable. Ever newer versions of operating systems and new ways of working affect user expectations. GUIs that might have been considered state-of-the-art just a few years ago, can quickly become outdated.

Our GUI Health Check is an extremely cost-effective service. Acting on our recommendations will help you achieve many first order benefits, such as:

The responsibility for producing, distributing and updating the style guide should rest with a style council, a single controlling authority which defines the overall style for the UI.

The benefits include:
