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 GUI Standards
"Organizations may avoid creating
standards because they fear it is a daunting task. It's hard
to take the gamble that effort put into creating standards
upfront will pay off downstream. Yet we have seen time and
again, such efforts have paid off in spades. The standards
have shown benefits such as saving time, improving design
quality, and providing consistency. They have also enabled
organization to stop reinventing the wheel and allow them
to concentrate on solving new and unique problems."

It is imperative that large companies with more than 50 developers
work toward ensuring consistency across all their GUI applications.
HFI offers a consensus-building process to effectively develop and
implement a GUI standard.

Benefits |
HFI can help you create a highly specialized standard from
start to finish. |
The corporate standard is optimized for your users, their
tasks, and environment. |
HFI specialists enlist the support of your key opinion leaders. |
Our consensus-building approach is effective in not just
the development but also the implementation of the standard. |
We develop standard screen templates that cover 85% of the
windows that will be designed. For example, menu, browser,
CRUD, graphic drilldown, and form. |
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, drop-down menus, special function keys, and widget selection
rules. |
We are fast and experienced—having built over 150
interface design standards. |
This gives the added advantage of reduced development time
and cost. |
HFI takes the following approach while developing your standard:
- Define the types of standards you need.
- Get volunteers for committee membership from your key opinion
leaders.
- Gather data, define the screen types, and draft an actual case
for each screen.
- Draft the standards document, review it with the committee,
and iterate.
- Distribute and implement the standard.
