Special Areas of Expertise

Conduit has a special interest in online community development and management, and in website usability testing and consulting.

Usability Testing and Consulting

Conduit brings a wealth of usability expertise to every engagement. Additionally, we can do usability testing on current sites and applications. Usability engagements range from a consultation with one of our usability experts, to focus groups, to surveys, etc.

A sampling of our recent usability engagements includes:

  • Designing an intuitive interface for a custom application and evaluating the application via focus groups.
  • Evaluating a new, online delivery method for an international newspaper using focus groups, surveys, and consultants.
  • Usability testing and consulting for a large ecommerce site, helping to transform the shopping experience from confusing to extremely intuitive. Conduit also assisted with the restructure of the site and feature/section enhancements.

Online Community Deployment and Management

Online community isn't purely an altruistic endeavor. While there are community sites designed for community's sake, online community is also a powerful tool to market products and build your brand. The benefits to businesses are enormous: get people interested, get them on your site for an extended period of time, and keep them coming back. Give them the community experience, and share your message with them while they are there.

Conduit has worked with a number of online communities and community application vendors including office.com, Koz.com, ichat, and Acuity. Additionally, Conduit has worked on many projects with Blue Barn Interactive, one of the premier consulting firms providing online community solutions for large corporations including Martha Stewart, Hallmark, BP, Showtime, and more.
