Ben Rubenstein’s Summary

• I provide my clients with fully annotated wireframes for new designs or for redesigns of existing pages. These wireframes illustrate all of the page requirements, flows, and functionality

• I offer a full site usability analysis and provide a comprehensive and actionable report. The report is based on usability principles as well as learnings from over 100 hours of usability tests which I have personally supervised and observed. I can present this report in person and answer any questions.

• I have a background in visual design, so I also enjoy doing good old fashioned graphic design too!
