Hello, I'm Will Sykora.

“Stream of Consciousness” Site/Product Audit

One of the fastest “first steps” you can take when addressing the UX of your product.

I review your existing product, website, or transaction flow and complete a heuristic assessment. This includes easy wins and best practices, content and UI recommendations, and wraps up with actionable next steps.

Usability Test Prompt Review & Writing

Usability Testing provides critical insight into how your customers experience your product… with one caveat.  Your results are only as good as your testing prompt. 

I work with you to determine the best testing method for your particular hypothesis (example: feature validation or UI accessibility) and write test prompts that steer clear of product bias and result in high-quality learnings.

Jobs to be Done / User Story Review & Writing

Translating discovered customer needs into Agile user stories or product requirements can get messy.

I research and compile the goals and motives of your users and translate these into feature priorities and success definitions to support new product discovery, requirements or technical acceptance criteria.

When $1 spent on UX results in a $2 – $100 ROI, well-designed experiences have a very real impact on success or failure.
