UI Design / Human Factors
Design with a focus on the user's experience and interaction with the final product whether it be software or devices.
Commercial Web Site
Description
Our client expanded its product line to include a next generation pollution abatement system. Its Web design placed so much emphasis on older products and services offered by its partners that visitors got the impression that the client was simply a distributor. The website redesign focused on the client’s products and services rather than its parters’.

Adobe Photoshop CS4, CSS, XHTML
Description
Our client was re-writing a desktop application as a Web application. Lacking expertise in Web user interface design, they were seeking help redesigning the front end to be more intuitive and to comply with Web 2.0 standards.
This system allows visiting nurses, physicians, social workers and other in-home visit professionals to collect and sync patient health care information. Some features include: collecting information on caregivers, medications, and nursing/social work assessments, note taking, as well as administration features (adding/removing case files, adding/managing users, etc.) The system was designed to be flexible enough to include future functionality additions, such as billing.

Language Learning System
Technical Environment
Adobe Photoshop, XHTML, CSS
Description
In order to expand its language learning system, our client needed to add more language instructors to its staff. In so doing, it became apparent that parts of the instructor’s lesson-building user interface were not intuitive to use and understand. Several of the interfaces need to be redesigned as well as have features added. Both iconography and color were taken advantage of to help convey meaning on highly complex interfaces.

Real Time Control System
Technical Environment
Visio, Adobe Photoshop
Description
Our client was developing a next generation real time control system. The first phase of this project included a touch screen interface that could also be controlled by the system’s control panel or an optional keyboard and mouse. Wireframes were utilized to establish the basic layout of the user interface and to refine some functionality across departments (engineering, marketing, etc.). Mock-ups were created in Adobe Photoshop to expand on the wireframes and to compose the visual interface. The mock-ups were eventually sliced into graphics for use by the programmer.

VB.NET Laboratory Information Management System
Technical Environment
VB.NET
Description
Two previous attempts at a Laboratory Information Management System had failed—one custom implementation and one of-the-shelf implementation. Client looking for a strong VB.NET Windows Forms developer with equally strong UI design talents. Due to the complexity of the UI requirements, the client found that an iterative approach was the most effective way of creating a UI that truly met its needs. Stout based an initial design on the client’s existing rudimentary Microsoft Excel forms and Microsoft Word reports. From there, Stout presented a UI which the client found highly intuitive and satisfactory. Stout met with the client regularly to receive feedback on subsequent enhancements and revisions, which Stout used to refine the UI and reports to meet the clients very specific needs.
