Standards

At HFI, we use a consensus-building approach to developing Web and GUI standards. We help you create a highly specialized standard from start to finish. You get usable, proven templates, universal elements for every page/screen type, operational components, and presentation and navigation rules. The result is faster development time, and a consistent, standardized user experience.

Corporate Web / Intranet Standards

Features Benefits
HFI can help you create a highly specialized standard from start to finish. Our consensus-building approach is effective in not just the development but also the implementation of the standard.
We develop standardized page templates that are consistent and also graphically elegant. These templates are easy to use—developers learn by copying.
General presentation rules as well as operational components are provided. Your designers and developers get universal elements for each page type—including details like fonts, capitalization, color, interface controls, standard image maps.
We are fast and experienced—having built over 150 interface design standards. We can complete in three to four months, and we also help you distribute and implement the standard.

HFI takes the following approach while developing your standard:

  1. Define the types of standards you need.
  2. Get volunteers for committee membership from your key opinion leaders.
  3. Gather data, define the page types, and draft an actual case for each Web page.
  4. Draft the standards document, review it with the committee, and iterate.
  5. Distribute and implement the standard.

Deliverables include:

  • Hard copy
  • Word file
  • Online document also available

 Establishing an interface standard can be a tricky thing. You need to address the technical content of the standard AND you need to work through the organizational process to put the standard into everyday use. With attention to both the technical and organizational aspects, you can give life to a useful and enduring user interface standard."
