Overview

Test 1 Studios is an online application and new media development studio committed to testing the limits of technology. The vision for Test 1 Studios came from a desire to develop websites and online applications that are so user-friendly that anyone can use them without compromising the application's power or effectiveness. By creating applications that are intuitive, they become useful for a broader audience and therefore become exponentially more effective. Ease-of-use should never be a barrier to entry.

Our Philosophies

Design
Great design is an important part of everything we do, but not design for design's sake. Usability and functionality aren't the only factors that determine whether an application reaches it's full potential or not. An application's appearance dramatically impacts the end user experience (positively or negatively). A website or application must be engaging and include intuitive visual cues to show the user where to go and what to do, yet minimalistic enough so as not to not distract the user from accomplishing the goal. Our clients enjoy a balance of all of these factors which culminate in great design.

Usability
Our passion for usability is apparent in everything we develop. Communication tools whether they are websites, interactive demos, or custom applications should not take a rocket scientist or even someone who is "web savvy" to figure out how to use or update them. Test 1 Studios employs cutting-edge user interface design techniques and constructs the technology that runs the applications to be transparent. The result is that the overall user experience and effectiveness of the application is greatly improved.

Functionality
All of the above is for nothing if the application  does not function the way it is supposed to. For this reason, Test 1 Studios employs rigorous testing and quality assurance throughout the entire development process. We test to make sure that not only is it functioning, but also to find improvements that would increase functionality and improve usability. All of this helps to ensure that the application yields the highest degree of end-user satisfaction.

Integrity
We take great pride in our work at Test 1 Studios. We give 100% in everything we do and the solutions we provide reflect that philosophy. We want our clients to succeed as much as they do, and we take this process to the development cycle. We dream beyond their dreams, we make them our own and ask ourselves - if we were their client, what would we want - and have we accomplished that in this process? Our clients aren't surprised (Ok, some are) when we come up with an idea that adds to their return on investment and benefits their clients. It is through these symbiotic relationships that we are able to ensure that our clients get the best possible solution they can.
