Real Insights for Better Digital Experiences

Many digital solutions are technically sound – but not user-friendly. They’re based on internal requirements rather than the actual needs of their users. The result: unclear navigation patterns, low conversion rates, and high costs for corrections after launch.

User testing creates clarity. For us, it is one of the most effective tools to continuously improve digital products. Our experts gain reliable insights into what works, what doesn't – and how to systematically and sustainably optimise digital services.

What You Gain from User Testing

At Unic, user testing is deeply embedded in our development process – as a methodological bridge between UX research, strategy, and design.

  • Informed decisions: Instead of assumptions, tests deliver evidence-based insights and clear priorities.

  • Improved user experience: Testing reveals barriers and helps make processes simpler, more intuitive, and more inclusive.

  • Measurable improvements: Our recommendations are based on both qualitative and quantitative data.

  • Continuous development: User testing is not a one-off measure – it is a tool for ongoing product optimisation.

How We Run User Tests

Briefing & Goal Setting

Together, we define objectives, target groups and research questions.

Test Design & Method Selection

Based on your goals, we select the appropriate methods – such as lab-based usability tests, remote testing, mobile testing, or eye tracking – and create realistic scenarios. We recruit test participants that reflect your target audience.

Execution

In moderated or unmoderated settings, we observe user behaviour, gather feedback, and analyse interactions.

Analysis & Evaluation

We combine qualitative and quantitative data to form a holistic picture and identify usage patterns, pain points, and misunderstandings.

Recommendations & Workshops

We present results in a clear, visual format (e.g. heatmaps, video sequences), prioritise them by impact and effort, and feed them into your product strategy.

Implementation & Long-Term Support

We support the optimisation process and validate outcomes in follow-up tests. User needs evolve continuously, so we focus on long-term partnerships to iteratively improve your products.

Understanding the Users of css.ch: Research Methods and Findings

To design a responsive, relevant and user-centered web portal for CSS Insurance, it was essential to understand the users’ goals. Who visits css.ch? And what do visitors want to do on the website?

Our Core Principles for User Testing

We design customised test strategies, apply exact analysis and bring empathy for the users to every project.

Multiple Perspectives

Our experts are part of cross-functional teams with broad industry knowledge. UX, content, strategy, and technology work closely together. Insights from user testing feed directly into design, product strategy, and development.

Flexible Methodology

Whether it is remote testing, eye tracking, or A/B testing – we choose the method that best answers your questions.

Inclusion & Accessibility

Accessibility is our standard. We design and test for everyone.

Data-driven Decisions

Our recommendations are grounded in meaningful, transparent data – with measurable impact on your goals.

Long-term Collaboration

We work closely with your internal teams and support you beyond the testing phase.

Personas – who are my user?

In every project we want to understand who the users of the application are. That's why we at Unic use the persona model in our design process.
