Let's talk about UX strategy
A smooth experience for your user
An optimal user experience is a win-win situation in the purest sense of the word. The user gets a smoother surfing experience, which is crucial in times when we as digital users are becoming more demanding.
A positive user experience will:
impact your reputation as a brand significantly
help you convert faster and achieve more sales.
That’s why you need to make sure that your content as well as the user experience is adapted to the customer journey of your target group.
Our vision
We approach UX from different angles. Our iO experts monitor the information architecture, the user interface (UI) as well as the content itself. Microcopy, for example, is one of the many elements that can make a huge difference in the field of UX — even with just a few words. A well-conceived UX is now the stronghold of any kind of platform: from campaign site to e-commerce platform, to intranet applications and online portals.
And last but most definitely not least: interaction design, functional operation, visuals and content… everything plays its role in a solid UX strategy.
How your organisation can benefit from UX strategy

Accessibility in digital communication
In digital communication, accessibility is not just a buzzword or a nice-to-have. It’s a default mindset to embrace and implement. Accessibility goes hand in hand with inclusivity: not excluding anyone and making your (digital) message available to everyone. On April 25, we’ll do a deep-dive into accessibility and talk about legislation, WCAG guidelines, A11Y, and much more.Read moreWhitepaper

Design Sprints: an elegant way to innovate
Innovation: everyone is convinced that it is necessary. Unfortunately, in practice, the process of innovation can sometimes be inefficient, take far too long, cause resentment or simply miss the mark. This is where the Design Sprint can help. This method, developed by Google Ventures, imposes a demandingly tight format and rapid pace on innovation processes. It can be difficult to identify which issues lend themselves perfectly to this method, and which issues benefit from the application of other methods. Thanks to our extensive experience with Design Sprints, at several campuses, iO can guide you through this process with confidence.Read moreBlog
Smarter innovation through Design Thinking
Research demonstrates that companies that shape products and services, in a co-creative process with their end users, can benefit from as much as a 32% higher revenue growth than their competitors, over 5 years. It’s little wonder that Design Thinking — a solution-oriented methodology, in which issues are defined directly from listening to the needs of the end user — is gaining ground. Bas van Dun and Dylan Fanego, digital strategy consultant and UX designer at iO, explain: "Sometimes the solution does not lie in the app or website that you initially had in mind".Read moreBlog
Validation: a wise investment, not an expensive gamble
An idea is often the first step towards a better future, and it’s no different in product development. A backlog full of crystal-clear priorities – epics, stories, bugs, and tickets – is a wealth of ideas for the future. Having the time and budget to actually work all these ideas out is something else altogether. How do you validate an idea without risking a serious chunk of your budget?Read moreBlog
Accessibility and WCAG 2.1 for an accessible webshop, app and site
One in eight people in the Netherlands are living with a long-term physical, psychological, intellectual, sensory, or intellectual disability. If you offer products or services in the Netherlands, it is forbidden to discriminate between people with or without a disability. Yet there are still many companies that only assess their digital sales and service channels on the speed and responsiveness on each device. Why do companies often see digital accessibility, and therefore the WCAG 2.1 guidelines as optional? At iO, Software Architect Lucien Immink is committed to creating accessible webshops, applications and sites and explains how to make your digital channels accessible and inclusive.Read more
