Usability Testing (Remote & In-Person)

Evaluate how real users interact with your product to uncover usability issues, streamline workflows, and validate design updates.

Our usability testing services let you see your product through your users’ eyes. Whether remote or in-person, participants complete real-world tasks while we observe behaviors, identify navigation challenges, and pinpoint design flaws. Using tools like heatmaps, clickstream tracking, and task success metrics, we deliver actionable recommendations that improve efficiency, satisfaction, and overall digital experience.

User Interviews (In-Depth Interviews / IDIs)

Gain deeper insights into user needs, expectations, and motivations through one-on-one interviews.

Our user interviews (also called in-depth interviews (IDIs))uncover the “why” behind user behavior. Conducted remotely or in person, these sessions explore participants’ experiences, goals, and challenges. This qualitative method is ideal for understanding decision-making, validating assumptions, and refining designs.

UX Diary Studies & Ethnographic Research

Track user behavior and experiences over time in real-world contexts.

Diary studies and ethnographic research capture authentic user interactions with your product over days or weeks. Participants record their thoughts, actions, and challenges in their natural environment, revealing patterns and needs that short-term testing can miss—essential for long-term strategy and product refinement.

Prototype Testing (Mockups & Early Concepts)

Test early-stage designs with real users to ensure they meet expectations before launch.

Our prototype testing evaluates mockups, wireframes, and clickable prototypes to validate usability, appeal, and clarity before development. Feedback from real users reduces rework, speeds up timelines, and increases the likelihood of adoption

UX Quantitative Research (Online Surveys for User Experience)

Collect large-scale user feedback quickly and cost-effectively.

Our Quantitative UX surveys gather quantitative data on satisfaction, feature priorities, and user preferences. Deployed to targeted segments, they can follow usability testing or stand alone—offering scalable insights that complement qualitative findings.

A/B Testing and Split-Cell Research Designs

Compare design variations to identify which delivers the best user outcomes.

A/B testing and split-cell design experiments compare two or more variations of a page, feature, or design element to see which performs better. We measure engagement, conversions, and task success rates with statistically valid samples to guide data-driven design improvements.

Persona Development & Validation

Create and confirm data-backed user personas for more targeted design.

We create user personas from a blend of qualitative and quantitative research. Each persona is validated with real-world data to ensure it accurately reflects your audience. This foundation supports more focused design, content, and marketing decisions.

Journey Mapping & Task Flow Analysis

Visualize the complete user journey to identify friction points and opportunities.

Our journey mapping and task flow analysis chart each step of the user experience. By highlighting interactions, emotions, and obstacles, we identify where to simplify processes, reduce drop-offs, and enhance satisfaction.

Rolling Research UX Programs

Stay engaged with your users with our Rolling Research UX Programs.

These ongoing, regularly scheduled sessions address a wide range of questions efficiently and quickly, and can allow for quick-turn feedback during design sprints.

Our rolling UX research programs deliver continuous feedback through iterative testing and tracking. This agile approach ensures your product evolves with changing user expectations, technology, and market trends.

Research Communities (Pop-Up & Insight Communities)

Engage users in short- or long-term communities for rapid feedback.

Actionable Insights: Obtain clear, actionable insights on a specific objective that can be immediately implemented.

Flexible Duration: Run your community for a few days or several weeks, months, or years depending on the scope and goals of your research.

Targeted Recruitment: Engage with precisely targeted participants recruited to meet your specific demographic/behavioral needs.

Scalable Solutions: Easily scale the community size or length as research requirements and objectives shift.

Rapid Feedback: Get quick responses and reactions to your questions, concepts, prototypes, etc.

Card Sorting & Tree Testing (Information Architecture Testing)

Refine site or app navigation through user-driven content organization.

Card sorting helps you understand how users group and label content, while tree testing evaluates how easily they find information. Together, these methods improve navigation and overall information architecture.

    Ed-Tech Company

  • We were in search of a vendor that would be adaptable enough to accommodate our diverse and evolving testing requirements, given that our product is highly content-driven and scaling rapidly. Touchstone has been very open to this type of partnership, offering a flexible model of full-service testing alongside ad hoc opportunities that allow us to maintain ownership over the aspects of user research that we prefer to manage ourselves. This allows us to more efficiently implement usability testing and recruitment for user research into our weekly and monthly practices while continuing to build our internal skillset. With the knowledge gained in our user research efforts with Touchstone, we have been empowered to make more data informed decisions about our product by keeping user behavior and motivation at the forefront of our work. Along with being flexible in our partnership model, Touchstone has supported this effort by offering a dedicated team that continues to learn about our unique product and business needs and provides quick turnaround for recruitment, facilitation, and topline reports.

  • The team at Touchstone is wonderful to work with. They have been instrumental ongoing partners for us in many of our research initiatives, ranging from quick-turn projects with our online communities to more complex and larger scale studies utilizing in-depth-interviews, online diaries and more. They are highly communicative, responsive to our needs, and offer great client support. We have gained so many invaluable insights through our various research studies with Touchstone and feel very fortunate to partner with this consistent, hard-working team.

    Media & Entertainment Company

  • We have done quite a few Quant and Qual research projects with Touchstone. They are always extremely responsive, flexible, and provide great recommendations on how to get the most out of our research. We are a small/medium sized company that doesn’t always get the best support when working with research firms due to our size; however, Touchstone always treats us like a very valued customer. They routinely have the quickest turnaround time and provide a lot of value for the cost when it comes to the different research projects we are looking to execute. I would highly recommend working with Touchstone on your future research projects.
