Usability and Technical Consultancy
Marcel &c provide a usability-centred technical consulting and development service. Usability can be the key differentiator in markets approaching saturation with competing brands. By understanding your users' needs, Marcel &c can design your systems to be accepted, drastically improving "stickiness" and word of mouth potential while reducing your support costs.
Interaction design is becoming more important as software and systems increase in complexity, presenting users with ever larger amounts of data. In contrast, the proliferation of mobile and set-top devices have resulted in smaller and more crowded interfaces. Implementing a user-oriented design methodology ensures that your development will meet your users' requirements and, by highlighting design flaws early in the development cycle, increases cost and time efficiency.
Think of doubling sales, doubling the number of registered users or customer leads, or doubling whatever other desired goal motivated your design project.

Marcel &c specialise in interface development for many platforms, including web browsers, TV screens, mobile devices and "traditional" desktop software. Drawing on our experience of designing and developing systems for all types of end user, we are also able to help you decide which type of implementation to build and how best to undertake it, taking your client base and marketing reach into account. With our extensive list of contacts, we can even help you find the right people to take on your development, or can manage the whole project on your behalf.
We strongly believe in setting a very high standard in every respect. We are as passionate about accessibility as we are about usability and believe that your message and systems should be enjoyed by everyone, not just a privileged few. Our site is built to the highest standards currently available - read more here.

Marcel is a joy to work with. He's warm and incredibly personable, and has a uncanny and unique ability to build rapport with people very quickly indeed. His wide range of technical skills are perfectly balanced with a solid appreciation of the need for effective design, easy usability and key commercial/marketing issues. I've recommended him time and time again and will continue to do so. - Alexander Cameron, Director, Broadband Entertainment Ltd
