Project

enflexion undertook a short usability review of the current system identifying issues that when resolved would increase the ease of use of the site. Each recommendation enflexion made was accompanied by an analysis based on impact versus effort and cost. This allowed Venue Connect to focus the important high impact changes immediately and allow the smaller less urgent changes to be made progressively after the site was launched. enflexion then re-designed the look of the site with the following outcomes:

Outcome

The website was launched in mid October 2004 and it’s popularity and use has been growing steadily even since.

“without your efforts and influence that you had in the look and feel as well as the navigation of the site I would not have been at all as happy as I am now. You brought a very professional visual element to the site and it was desperately in need of that.”
