Most Westlake engagements begin with a focus on User Experience Design, then grow to encompass technical design and development within RIA's (Rich Internet Applications).
Recognizing the quantitative interplay between visual design and
technology to create usable experiences is core to our approach
in solving problems and designing end-to-end solutions.
Measuring the current state and desired goals allows us to
maintain perspective in our approach and to discover
and solve real-world business problems.
This process is an extract and combination of UCD, PAID and
Agile methodologies, but is summarized into four phases: Evaluate > Architect > Develop > Cultivate
Our roles typically fall under the umbrellas of: Business Analysis, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, User Interface Design, Front-end Development and Analytics.
