User-centred design

Services

Everything we do at Goaco is built around the understanding that digital solutions must go beyond being merely fit for purpose. People are at the heart of every process, and they should have the opportunity to dictate exactly how their systems and tools will work for them in the most successful way. Therefore, Goaco is an advocate of comprehensive User-Centred Design for all our solutions.

User Research

User research focuses on helping teams understand the people they’re designing for—deeply and meaningfully. By engaging directly with users, we uncover their real needs, behaviours, and emotions, going beyond surface-level feedback to reveal what truly matters. This insight is used to inform the design of services, products, content, and policies, ensuring they are usable, effective, and aligned with users’ expectations. User research provides robust, evidence-based guidance that helps teams make better decisions and keep users at the centre of everything they create.

Interaction Design

Our focus shapes how people engage with digital products—making those interactions simple, intuitive, and satisfying. It focuses on designing the moments when users tap, click, swipe, or scroll, ensuring each action feels natural and delivers a clear response. We aim to remove friction and help users achieve their goals efficiently. Whether it’s navigating a website or using an app, the goal is to create seamless, enjoyable experiences that connect people and technology in meaningful ways.

Service Design

We create services that are useful, usable, and effective from the user’s perspective. It goes beyond individual touchpoints to design entire services—across channels and behind the scenes—with a focus on real human needs. We challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and help define the true scope of a problem. This helps map user journeys, facilitate shared understanding across teams, and identify opportunities to reduce complexity and cost. Through exploration, prototyping, and collaboration, service design shapes cohesive end-to-end experiences that work for users and the organisations that deliver them.

Content Design

We create user-focused content that helps people complete tasks or understand information quickly and easily. By putting users’ needs first, we ensure content is clear, accurate, accessible, and easy to find. Our approach simplifies complex information and removes unnecessary barriers, enabling users to get what they need without friction. Content designers prioritise clarity, consistency, and usability across all touchpoints to make sure content works for everyone.
