What your audience perceives of your brand is largely affected by their experience of your products or services. Good user experience not only increases sales, but also reduces training and support costs, and minimizes the need for redesign.
Delivering good user experience is the reason interaction design exists as a professional discipline. At Farefore, we think a good interaction design is the one making users easily and even happily finishing tasks. We think interaction design is about designing the right behaviors of users to do a thing and then designing the interfaces to support these user behaviors.
-
We don’t start designing an application or equipment with user interfaces, but with finding the root reasons and real needs, because we think user interface is just the result or presentation of interaction design.
We use the data collected through 51 scientific methods of user research to support our design decisions. Through 11 years of interaction design experiences, we found that prototyping early and often is the best way to get a good design, and we've developed a set of prototyping methods and a proved efficient process.

我们认为一个好的交互设计应该是让用户比较容易地、甚至愉快地完成一件事。交互设计是设计用户做某件事的行为方式 ,然后设计相应的界面来配合用户的行为。
我们反对从用户界面开始设计一个应用,因为我们认为用户界面只是交互设计的成果载体。

We don’t think Identity Design is just about graphical aesthetics, but the visual delivery of the carefully chosen essential information of an organization, product or event.
We don’t start with sketching but analyzing and organizing the information of an origination, product, event, audience, and environment. Only when we got the most essential information, we start thinking of the visual representative and delivery of the crucial information points.
-
The result we care and purse is not about good-looking, which is the basic requirement, but how much the essential information was delivered.
We have an expert of classical Chinese culture and philosophy who happened to be an identity designer. Therefore, we can make the identity of your product or service having authentic and elegant Chinese characteristics.

Beyond the traditional ways of doing graphical design, we have a special method – generative design. We write computer code and algorithm to generate complex and fantastic graphics that not possible to be drawn by human.
With this method and technology, we can break certain barriers in creating new exciting visual graphics that beyond human imagination and capability.
-
If you need graphical images that never shown before and cannot be repeated in the future, we can help on it.

除了传统的图形设计方法,我们使用一种特殊的工艺——“生成的设计”——编写计算机代码和算法引导计算机来生成绚丽的、复杂的、人力难以绘制的图形。
使用这种方法和技术,我们打破了很多由于人类的想象和能力所限,无法创造出的视觉图形。

When your project demands different technologies, you usually need to hire multiple developers with specific skills, since it's uncommon for one developer to acquire all of technologies. It's difficult, time-consuming and costly to get all the right developers. Through the talking with our clients about this situation, we provide a new kind of developer outsourcing service named SUPERMAN Developer.
A SUPERMAN Developer service is actually an expert team composed of 3 to 5 developers who each has a special skill set your project requires, and turned out as if you hired a super developer with all the skills and experiences exactly your project needs.
-
A team member of a SUPERMAN Developer service comes to work on-site in your office or delivers the work remotely when a certain task raise, and each SUPERMAN Developer service has a manager to ensure the consistence, stability and smoothness of the service.
You pay a SUPERMAN Developer to serve you with just 40% more than a senior developer, yet you actually saved a lot of budget in the whole.
Besides SUPERMAN Developer service, we actually also provide SUPERMAN Designer service in the same way!

当一个项目需要多种技术时,您通常需要聘用多位具备不同技能的开发者,因为某一位开发者恰好掌握全部所需技能的情况是不多见的。而聘用到多位合适的开发者并不容易并且成本很高。在与我们的客户探讨过这种情况后,我们推出了一种新的开发者人力资源外包服务 —— “超人”!
一个“超人”服务实际上是一个由三五专家组成的团队提供的服务。其每个成员具备一种或几种您的项目需要的技能。从而,您就好像聘用到了一位超级开发者——他恰好具备您的项目需要的全部技能和经验。
项目进程中,当某一类任务需要完成时,“超人”服务团队的一个成员就会到您的办公室现场工作或远程递交工作成果。每一个“超人”服务都有一位经理来保证团队持续、稳定、顺畅地进行。
购买一个”超人“服务您只需要比聘用一个高级开发者多40%的费用,可总体上您却节省了很大开支。
除了”超人开发者“服务外,我们还推出了”超人设计师“的服务!
