Usability Testing in Loughborough
Watching real people try to use your product and finding out where they get stuck. For Loughborough businesses with a working system that customers still abandon, this answers the question analytics cannot: not where people left, but what they were trying to do when they gave up.
Why this comes up
The problem
Everyone inside a business knows how their own product works, so nobody can see what is confusing about it. Analytics show the drop-off point and say nothing about the reason for it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Participants recruited to match your actual users, not colleagues or friends
- Task-based sessions where people attempt real jobs rather than give opinions
- Recordings of what people did, with the moments that matter timestamped
- Findings ranked by how many participants hit them and how badly it hurt
- Specific recommended changes, not a list of observations to interpret yourself
- A retest after changes ship, to confirm the fix worked rather than assuming

Working in Loughborough
East Midlands
Loughborough punches well above its size on research and sports technology, and spin-outs from the university are a recurring source of work that starts as a prototype and needs to become a product.
University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers.

Usability Testing in Loughborough — common questions
- How many people do we need to test with?
- Fewer than most expect. Five to eight participants per user group surfaces the large majority of serious problems, because the same obstacles recur quickly. Spending the budget on more participants rather than on fixing what the first five found is the common mistake.
- Can we not just ask customers what they want?
- Asking produces opinions; watching produces evidence. People are reliably poor at predicting their own behaviour and reluctant to say a product confused them. Task-based observation avoids both problems.
- Do we need a finished product to test?
- No, and earlier is cheaper. A prototype or even a clickable design surfaces structural confusion while it is still inexpensive to change, which is the whole argument for doing this before build rather than after launch.
- What if the findings say we built the wrong thing?
- Then you have found out at the cheapest point you ever will. We report what happened rather than softening it, because a comfortable report that changes nothing is not worth commissioning.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Loughborough businesses do you usually work with?
- University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers. Beyond that we work across Sports Technology, Higher Education, Engineering and Research & Development.
- Do you cover the areas around Loughborough?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Leicester, Nottingham, Derby. Loughborough is an urban area of roughly 60,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
