Små skärmar, stor betydelse? : En studie i hur svenska SEO-företag arbetar med sökmotoroptimering i en mobil kontext / Small screens, big difference? : A study of how Swedish SEO-companies work with search engine optimization in a mobile context.Andersson, Isak January 2019 (has links)
In the summer of 2015, Google revealed that the number of searches conducted through mobile phones, for the first time had exceeded the number of searches conducted via computers. Last year (2018) Google announced that they had begun to both index and rank websites according to the principle of mobile-first. This means that Google now considers the mobile phone, rather than the computer, as the primary device. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine what consequences this paradigm shift has for the process of search engine optimizing a website through the lens of, in this case Swedish, SEO companies. A qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews was applied with the purpose of gathering insights from the SEO companies on the subject. The findings of this study identify mobile-friendliness as a vital part of the SEO-process, in order to achieve high ranking in search results. Further findings also suggests that core principles of SEO are more likely to clash with core principles of UX-design in a mobile-first context, than when desktop reigned supreme.

Likheter som styrkor i webbdesign : Ett alternativ till lokalisering / Similarities as Strengths in Web Design : An Alternative to LocalizationBjörk, Emma, Von Matern Fallkvist, Annelie January 2020 (has links)
This study addresses the question of how globalization affects the need for localized user interfaces. Previous research in cross-cultural design suggests that user interfaces need to be adapted to users' different cultures in order to achieve usability, effectiveness and good user experience. Based on this, the focus in previous research is on identifying differences in what people from different cultures prefer when it comes to design and information architecture. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a focus on similarities instead, can lead to useful guidelines for people who develop user interfaces for multicultural target groups. To answer this, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods were used and a website analysis was performed to examine what similarities that could be found on user interfaces developed for two different countries. Furthermore, a card sorting experiment was carried out in order to compare the mental models of users from two different countries. The results show that there are many similarities on regional websites, developed to fit the user needs in Sweden and Saudi Arabia. The results also indicates that mental models might differ as much within a group of users with the same cultural background, as between groups of users from different countries. This raises the question of whether localization of user interfaces is necessary or not.

Upplevelseköpet : En användbarhetsstudie av mobila Augmented Reality applikationer inom möbelhandeln / The experience purchase : A usability study of mobile Augmented Reality applications in the furniture tradeBjurström Ellström, Mariette January 2020 (has links)
New technological innovations and solutions create new buying patterns and new opportunities for companies to showcase and communicate their products. Research shows that digital and interactive product experiences in retail increase the consumer experience as technology influences the perception of products and willingness to buy. Augmented Reality (AR) improves the quality of the user experience by digitizing experiences and products in new dynamic and innovative ways that include the user's real environment. The mobile AR- applications IKEA Place and Ethan Allen inHome are designed to visualize furniture and home decor in the user's own home environment. In order to understand and explore how users perceive the interface and usability of the AR-applications, a usability study has been performed linking the results to accepted design principles in information architecture with focus on usability and user experience. Results from the tests, interviews and survey shows that the content, the placement and the amount of information plays an important role in user experience and usability. The findings also indicates that without a clear user context, the application loses its purpose, however well-designed the interface is. In order to be usable, the applications must create some kind of added value that is perceivable to the user. The overall studie has resulted in new empirical material regarding user research and opened up for a broader understanding as to how users experience and accepts mobile AR-applications within the trade.

Moreover, if color combinations and its placement together with the contrast can increase the efficiency in a navigation process. The colors that were tested were blue and red. Three prototypes were designed which had different color and contrast combinations, but the main colors were blue and red. A qualitative method was being used to examine the impact colors and contrasts can have. An unstructured observation was applied to study the user’s behavior and which prototype was most effective. Moreover, was a think-aloud test where the users had to think-aloud. This method generated an understanding about users first impression and how effective the navigation menu was. Lastly, a semi-structured interview was applied to create a greater understanding about colors impact on the users. The results showed that color and contrast have a big influence on a user’s first impression, but also on a navigation menus’ effectiveness.

Att sätta nytt PB i typografi : En prototypdriven studie om typografi i träningsappar / Hitting a new PR in typography : A prototype-driven study about typography in fitness appsVestergren, Malin January 2020 (has links)
This work study how certain aspects of typography affects the usability and user experience (UX) of a fitness app. “PR” in the title refers to achieving a personal record in sports and fitness. Typography is a relatively unexplored subject within fitness apps even though it plays a major role in how users perceive the UX and usability. One highly recommended way to create and design for good UX is the implementation of gamification, meaning that features and elements originated from the gaming industry are woven into a non-gaming context to inspire and motivate users to work hard to achieve a set goal. In fitness apps, users likely come across gamification in features such as badges, achievements, and leaderboards. To study this matter, a hi-fi prototype was developed in InVision Studio and three different typefaces, one serif font, one sans-serif font, and one display font, were used in various contexts throughout the prototype. Two interviews and a usability test were conducted five times on five different study participants. The result shows that different aspects of typography indeed do have a big impact on UX and usability. The display font is a great choice to encourage users, and the sans-serif font is appreciated for body text. One unexpected finding is that according to the users, the s
