UserPlus case - Project overview: UserPlus is a Belgium Start-up that developed an online expert review tool that helps people/companies to improve the usability of their website. Therefore, UserPlus requested Greet InDetail to write some general design patterns (DP) and best practices (BP) that could be displayed on their blog and used into their evaluation tool.
