User Experience & Interface Design

Arrival of the iPhone and the touch screen has brought design to the forefront of every single modern application. Gone are the days when design was an afterthought, user centric design is the new norm. Mobile and “touch” has become vital to creating the new generation of applications; flicking, swiping, pinching, dragging, etc. are all natural metaphors that make the touch interface very intuitive and simple to operate. Given that this is a different method of interaction means that the common visual interaction elements (navigation, search, scrolling, etc.) people use on the web will need to change. Designing for mobile first world is fundamentally different, we believe user interface should be compelling AND functional, and requires a new breed of skillset to take advantage of this new paradigm to ensure that the UI quality dictates user efficiency, error rate and number of unintended workarounds. Our expertise is across all form factors, from large to small, and we create experiences that are optimal for use cases in hand.  Now with voice gaining attention, we’re assisting customers with voice based interactions and the next generation of “touchless” computing.

eXtreme Programming (XP)

Our Customers say the prime benefit of eXtreme Programming (XP) is the delivery of significant code quality that surpasses traditional development techniques (almost always nearly 100% code coverage for unit tests).  XP uses the best-of-breed coding approaches developed since the 1960s to deliver quality.   XP uses Test Driven Development (TDD) to ensure production code is written only after a test for that code has been completed and works.  This ensures the code functions correctly, simplifies development, and maximizes the number of beneficial tests for an application.  An additional XP feature some Customers like to implement full or part time is Pair Programming, where senior developers with domain knowledge are paired with less experienced developers to jointly code user stories.  This allows for quick transfer of domain and programming knowledge building less experienced resources quickly.  Additionally it allows all resources to be cross trained on complicated applications.

While there are many flavors of XP, some of them even incorporate clearly documented anti-XP approaches (like rigid schedules or burnout work loads), Creospan practices the originally documented XP Values, Principles, and Practices.  We work closely with internationally known founders of XP and Agile community to ensure we are adhering to its tenets.  Following an Agile approach, we craft the XP process to each Customers unique requirements.

Application Development & Systems Integration

Enterprises now have a number of new options to consider including device platforms, user experience considerations, tools, platforms, methodologies and so on. Each one of these is critical to assuring the success of a mobile application. The industry has not yet achieved the level of maturity where the likelihood of success is greater than failure. There are still many ways to get a mobile application wrong and only a handful of effective ways to get it right. From native to hybrid to cross-platform, Creospan uses the right methodology to optimize results for our clients with our integrated offering. Just like designing for mobile, development for mobile is also fundamentally different; developers must be competent to create a new generation of highly performant application that work great online and offline.
