Human-centered Design

Human-centered Design (HCD) has had a number of names over the years, from Human Factors, to Usability, to "Design Thinking."

The concept is simple, take a look at your site/application from the perspective of your end-users and design the information architecture, nomenclature and workflow to match THEIR mental model.

A common usability problem that we've seen in many of the systems that we've evaluated is that default sort settings are the same for every list

Most of these systems seemed to have an ascending alphabetical sort (Things are sorted from A to Z) for all or most of the lists of items that are provided.

Developers often tell us that they set the sort order the same in each list so that there is a consistency across the application.
