Retail Kiosks and Web Kiosk Design
Designing self-service applications that are both user-friendly and easy-to-maintain.
When designing a retail kiosk application, companies are increasingly
looking towards web-based technologies and kiosk design tools
to speed time-to-market and reduce development costs. The
proliferation of powerful and easy-to-use tools such as Adobe's
Dreamweaver and Flash have made it possible to develop standards-based
applications in days or weeks, rather than months or years.
However, when building retail kiosks and other touch screen
applications, it is important to keep some basic points in
mind. These include ensuring that all buttons and functions
are clearly labeled, and that each item is easy to select
from the touchscreen. User-friendly, contextual help should
also be provided. By following these guidelines, your kiosks
will be accessible to the widest possible audience (including
non-technically savvy users), ensuring the best possible ROI
for the retail kiosk project.
Retail kiosk applications are typically coupled with ruggedized hardware and easy-to-use touchscreen displays.
